It is true, this is not really a game per say. It is a kinetic visual novel. I chose this route as my first project to learn and gain experience before trying to do more complicated things. Note however though... the ending of Serenity will be fully branched out with choices between endings for the reader. So, you at least have that to look forward to. But we're still a very long way from that. Keep following, it will only get better. :)
Yes, I already gave my idea a second thought and I gues it is not possible to implement something like this here. After all, there is no place to put an free exporation mode to this novel. But... who knows, maybe you will decide to make another game like a sequel for this story with same MC and other characters and there you could make more complicated gameplay (yeah, I think I realy like this story, a deep and good writen with a very interesting idea).
Thank you for your reply and thank you for your work, Im definetely looking forward to see future of this project :)
