The game is FIRE, the characters are amazing, the first case at least is very cool, there are very interesting features that aren't in the other fanganronpas that I've played. Also the localization is peak as always.
Sadly all this cool immersion is lost at the moment you start the second chapter since all the progress you've made in C1 is pointless. I know this is a RPG Maker thing but it's just a bummer. I was so happy when I got the extra skill in the guessing game :,)
I'll be patiently waiting and praying for this project to prosper so then I can play the full release and enjoy the complete experience with no barriers in progression.
