This is a super original idea, and it fits the theme great! I love how all the attacks are debate techniques, and all the flavor text is great. I appreciated that the movement was done with the mouse, since the combat was also mouse, so it could just be all mouse. And I like that there was a settings screen for the audio, because I did want to adjust that (and did!). The character portraits looked really nice.
However, I never really got a good feel for the combat. Like, at first, I was reading all the tooltips and picking my moves carefully. But after a while I just wanted to know what was gonna happen next and so I randomly clicked on the numbers until the battle was over which seemed to work just as well. I wish the combat forced me to make interesting choices every turn, otherwise it just feels kind of grindy.
