This game is absolutely amazing so far! The characters, the visuals, the rpg elements and battle mechanic, the audio; all of it is breath-taking! I'd love to be able to make a game like this myself someday.
Madhouse Mike is definitely the character I'm most attached to. The scene where he was crying and hugging us was so heart-wrenching that I felt like crying myself. The fight against him was awesome too!
My only advice really is to check the dialogue; there's some mistakes there. There's also that bug where when you save and load back into the save file later, your appearance is set back to default, but you're already aware of that and working to resolve it. Other than that though, great game!
