game needs to process in the background when i go into another tab, game is fun but its not that fun to just watch a progress bar fill up slowly, i play many games at the same time and having to stare at one tab just for it to work is really annoying.

went insane, game froze, can't die, 'reset cycle' just resets the entire game, had to backup from a cloud save. Save is effectively bricked

Popup Blocker seems like it includes the story page associated with killing Legion for the first time and it probably shouldn't. I restarted from scratch a bit ago and just got to this point again and was genuinely unsure whether I'd gotten a DS until I saw the New Story Branch marking on the portal path. I was getting ready to report it as a bug until I saw the marking, so now I'm just reporting it as something it would be good for players to see the first time they get it, even if they have that QOL.

I just started, and this game seems so fun! My only issue is the AI art, but I can manage, especially since you added an option to remove story art if someone really dislikes it that much. I suggest possibly making your own art later on in development and implementing it in one step at a time, since most people as of current aren't so interested in AI, and honestly making your own art makes the game so much better in immersion standards since you know how you want your game to look and feel. Again, great game, looking forward to more!

Loved the game, but there's a frustrating element: You can't win by knowing the puzzle solutions if you don't have enough upgrades, and you can't win by brute force even if you have every upgrade. Often I would mentally rule out what turned out to be the correct solution, because the game showed me that it didn't work, or I would be confident in the solution but have no realistic way of knowing how long I should go back and grind my skills before it was also an effective solution.

At a certain point I had all the upgrades that increased character strength and saw that it was turning into this really granular puzzle where I'd have to map out the whole decision tree--which requires turning off QoL features, ugh--and try all the reasonable traversals, or just look up the solution. Those both feel pretty bad, and experimentation that has a few minutes of unavoidable wait time stapled to every new trial feels worse worse, so I unfortunately chose option three.

That's all to say, it's still incredibly clear how much love and care went into making this, and I still had a ton of fun with it before it became something that I, myself, couldn't enjoy anymore. Thanks for making this and sharing, best wishes.

developer response: Thanks for playing and thank you for your feedback. In earlier version players complained the game was too simple and linear, where choices/branches did not have significance. Thus in 2nd part I built deep branches each carrying their own unlockable classes and unique encounters. I'm currently working on the next part of the game, which includes an achievement table that unlocks additional bonuses.

the concept is GREAT but all the images being ai suuuuuucks it honestly takes me out of the atmosphere a bit

developer response: Thanks for playing. There is an option under settings that you can enable to disable all story art.

the rat killing grind never stops. its all or none.

developer response: You can activate Animal Planet skill and let it auto-farm in the background as you continue to your journey.

Major bug in second act of the game. Fought the Goblin Team, lost, and the game entered a state where it wouldn't reset the cycle. Refresh, back into the fight, lost, back in the stuck state. Go into settings, used the reset the cycle button, and then lost ALL my progress. I hadn't saved anything, so I just lost everything from that bug. Reporting it here so that others don't end up in the same situation.

developer response: You can go to reddit or discord to grab some save codes to restore some progress, so you dont have to start over.

Unlocks for the classes should not be random. With three existing classes and the huge branches in the new quest tree, if a player tries something and it doesn't work, there's low chance he'll come back trying the same thing. For example, I've stumbled upon the to unlock the new class, but couldn't beat it, so I crossed off that path as yet another unwinnable fight among many others and moved on. Turns out, this specific battle was essential to make any further progress, but without reading spoilers I would never have guessed it and would not come back multiple times till RNG lets me beat the monster and unlock a new class.

developer response: I'll admit the 2nd chapter is a lot more trickier and requires some experimentation to figure things out. This is because the original 1st chapter players collectively feedback the game is too easy/linear to play. They want to see more hidden/unlockable features as well as deeper branches.

Anyway I hope it did not take you too long getting stuck. Spirit and Soul path are dead giveaway from the combat difficulty gap. Only Spirit and Body paths are viable at beginning.
