Overall looks super cool! But to give a bit of constructive criticism on the layout/organization:

Placing the Characters section before the How to Play section means a reader is looking at all this character info without context, or is skipping past the character section and flipping back to it after learning the basics
The body text is relatively slow/difficult to read

Hi, we're glad you liked our submission! With respect to the points you brough up:

We placed the Performers before the How to Play section because we wanted the flavour of the characters and what they could do to come first in the players' minds as opposed to the nuanced mechanics of the game. This is very much a game that's about the Performers first and we hope each Performer has enough flavour to give players an idea of who they should be choosing even without fully understanding the mechanics. Also, we wanted to emulate how Eat the Reich was laid out.
We hope the reader-friendly version we uploaded helps with ease (and speed) of reading. Please let us know if you face any issues with the reader-friendly version.
