I'm more willing to cut a game some slack if it's all done by one dev. A Sister's Journey is practically in that range; the only credits going to a sound plugins group for extra SFX/BGM, a marketing firm for additional translations, and special thanks for seven people.

But then that's how things tend to go - people pick up the game, some people immediately realise their error and reverse-course, and as the days and weeks go by, more people finish the game and give their honest opinions. They won't all be good, but they won't be gut feelings all over the carpet.

Knowing that's the case does help explain a couple things here or there - spelling errors just common enough to be noticeable, sentence spacing in text boxes, and a couple odd glitches that were fixable with a restart (the game saves your room location) that are likely being worked on.

pondering on what fiends would consider horror stories in TTRPGs, and short of joke reasons, having to accept that this is almost always going to tie into the "intrinsic good/evil" thing, and how closely morality and religion are tied together in their being

I did not anticipate that that would be where the slide was hidden in "A Sister's Journey". I half-expected that to be a mid-game thing, not late/end-game... doing a write-up on this one will be interesting, to say the least. lots that I like about it, but in need of polish.

It turns out there's more in the works for the game? DLC for the stuff that I guess had to be cut to prevent feature-creep. but it looks like people are ragging on the game for one reason or another - I doubt my views will exactly mirror others', but I know I have qualms about what I've played.

Spelling errors are... not all over the place, but numerous enough that I've lost track of the amount I've found. There seems to be an odd glitch where swapping regions will fail to start BGM, such that one area I wasn't sure that had happened again or the ambience was intentional.

slowly chipping my way through A Sister's Journey. I am seeing how some people are having a bit of trouble, as I'm beating bosses at a fairly slow pace (I got the game five days ago) but they're still listed as "sub-10% cleared on Steam" hell, the latest boss I fought is at 2.3%! a story boss!!

I'll admit the bosses are tough. But a big chunk of it is also "have I missed anything?" since there's a lot of places where I should be able to do a slide, if I remember the demo right, and yet I still haven't found a means of sliding. I'm twelve hours into the game and scouring like mad.
