I'll cut to the chase—I'm not happy with the recent shift to a visual novel format for the game. The RPG elements and exploration were what made it stand out for me. I was okay with the card system changes, but this is a whole new level.
In my honest opinion, it would have been better to wrap up the RPG project and start a new one for the visual novel. As it stands, I won't be supporting the game any longer. I loved the freedom and RPG aspects, and those are now gone.
I'm not trying to be rude, but this game was incredible, and im really not enjoying visuals novels.
