Interesting game! I played for about 30 minutes and I could tell you put a lot of effort into it. The beginning cutscene was amazing and well done! And I like the monster catching mechanic. I could see potential ways to add depth into it. Btw, there seems to be no cap on how much you can pet your monsters. Not sure if that's intended. The map design could be a bit better. I felt that some of them were unnecessarily big and the diagonal paths are annoying to go through because there is no diagonal movement. I feel like you should introduce more smaller cutscenes to add to the story or lore while you're navigating the first area. I'm not fully invested in the story and the barriers make it hard to continue. It feels like an bad design choice since the battle system encourages the use of recruiting stronger monsters relying less on the player to grind. So the only reason you would block the player from progressing is to waste their time. Overall, great job on the game! I hope you continue to develop it!
