At first I was confused by it, but I kind of like the "board game" movement and events, even if it was frustrating to do an event without any effect and need to bounce in and out to try again. (Like letting Aleena drag you to the bar when you want to shop)
Is it always 3 times around the loop to get an ending or was it based on level or something?
Obviously the AI art is kind of a bummer coming from you, an artist I like, but it is what it is. You were up front and I won't harp on it.
Lastly, I really didn't expect to see a Grey in somebody else's game this time around.
