I'm glad you liked it! It's not /quite/ the same setting as Arena Circus, it's actually how I imagine the past of the world to be. So it's not really a spoiler, the reason there are no Cubi or Shika is that they're extinct, and humans haven't evolved yet. I'm so glad to hear you like all the characters! I love them all so much. Same with me for the flirty thing, I don't usually like giant flirts like that, but Paris stole my heart ahh.
OH MAN I can't believe I wrote that xD thank you for catching it. I'll fix that ASAP.
I'm sorry you don't like the choice system! I wanted to try something a little different. As for the bakery, that's the only choice styled that particular way, I just really wanted to draw bread. I also forget that not every place has the same kind of bread as here so it's not quite as obvious haha.
As for the routes you travel, I'll tell you now you don't. The story is fairly linear, with the exception of the endings of course.
And yes, it will be free.
Thank you as always for the feedback! I hope you enjoy the full game. ^^
