Are there any plans to make a more casual version of the game? One that only focuses on the story and skips the combat elements?

I am absolutely loving the intricate world being built in this game, with rich back story that only deepens with each chapter as we learn more about what happened to the world prior to the events of the story, and what is yet to come for these characters. I would love to be able to see where it all ends up, but even following all the guidebooks and instructions when it comes to builds, I am finding the combat punishingly crushing.

But it appears Chapter 4 is where my journey ends because I'm struggling with some of the plot-necessary combat encounters (not even at the final boss yet) and I'm starting to get very frustrated.

So as much as I would love to continue supporting this game, I'm going to have to sit it out unless there's ever any plans to make a story-only mode. Since it's the dialogue choices that dictate how the story and the relationships unfold, I feel this could be a possibility. So just thought I'd throw that idea out there.

Hi, chapter4 is a hard chapter (both the combats and the timelimit mechanism), but join the discord server and ask there for help, they will get you past the point where you got stuck. My guess is that you just didnt figure out how to get combos in combat, or didnt recruit some fighters that are essential to your build, so just write in the discord chapter4's channel and it should get solved.

I have all the recruits I need for each specific builds (I have a separate save path for each LI, and I tried the different combat builds for the first few of these I did). The only build I'm able to make any progress on is Seidr. The other two are massively challenging, as resource management becomes critical while trying to level up the two skill trees while also making sure I don't fail the main quest of food supplies. And even with sufficient points in the individual trees, some combat encounters are beyond frustrating. My allies have the gear and/or resources they need and I follow the recommended combos, but still the enemies regenerate hate at an unsustainable level or cripple my fighters to the point of useless. If there's something I did wrong in my builds, even after following guides and recommendations on Discord, the fact remains that combat is crushing, hence my original comment advocating for the super casual gamer.
For now, I'll just retrace my steps for the LIs that are not on a Seidr build to re-do them as such since the struggle is way too much for me on the other two builds.
