Hello. Thanks for playing the game.
I truly understand your criticism, but that is the point of the experience mate. It is supposed to be that way. I don't know if you read the manual, but it clearly says what you have to do and then wait. Lots of things are happening in the background to make you feel uncertain, which you did and that was the point lol.
Like you said, the progress bar and other details can be implemented in the game, but it would be completely different story. Thanks again for playing. Best to you.
