I just finished starting from scratch in desolation and done as much as I could in the game. Gotta say Caz, great job! I thoroughly enjoyed what I played. I was always hoping you'd return, and boy am I glad you have. The new story content, and re-experiencing the game were an absolute treat. The story is super interesting, the characters are enjoyable, and the credit system are great. I felt that reborn and rejuvination did a good job of making sidequests very meaningful, the credit system bolsters that. I know it was in the previous build but I thought I'd still highlight it. The music choices were excellent as well, in fact one of my favorite atmospheric tracks in the game is "feeling - humble beginnings" because of the situations it is used in
Some criticisms I have include some map design, and some sprites. Blackview city in particular is a confusing mess at times when you're getting used to it. The snowy forest was also a confusing a mess. Everything kinda looks the same until you've run around it 50 times in both maps. Connor specifically needs a new portrait, and so does rosetta. I feel like they lack the shading, and detail characters like ava have. Obviously work in progress game, but these are things I thought I would bring up
otherwise very much looking forward to episode 6
