I genuinely wanted to love this game. At first I was thinking, it's probably nothing special, the start was clunky and rushed, dropping us headfirst into stuff without any decent introduction to mechanics, lore or even a character introduction, but after about fifteen minutes it warmed up a lot. I genuinely like the humour, the incessant references are so over the top they become a choice, making it feel like a part of the world building. The characters, save for the main, are three dimensional, and strangely likeable in their own way. Then, eight hours in, game breaking bug. I don't know when it occurred, because trying to retriggered the failed scene from an earlier save doesn't work. There's no guides available, no bug reports listing how to fix anything, and I have [b]scoured[/b]. I can't tell when the bug appeared, if it's an issue with the spawn forcing it (which seems likely, as the exit from the town lands on top of the new sprite, which I can only assume leads to it being uninteracteable). And if that's the case, no amount of backtracking through earlier saves will help, even a fresh start won't, which is a bummer, because it's been pretty fun so far, and I know there are two other games, which I just can't imagine I'd care to get into knowing I won't be able to finish this one. I don't mind clunky games, I don't mind low budget RPG maker games - it's a way to enable people to tell stories they otherwise likely wouldn't have been able to, and people who think it's "easy" usually have no idea what they're talking about, but when the bugs fully prevent progress, even for a save file cautious player, why is it even in the store? That's just wasting people's time.
