Aaaa this is so good! Your hard work is paying off in spades- this is such a seamless experience. I found myself noting and appreciating so many different parts of the game aspect- to say nothing of the story (intriguing!) and the characters (I already want to pursue every route, and learn more about all of them, route or no route!). The magic almost being like a sort of engineering is such a cool approach as well. I can't wait for Chapter 2!!
