I get it that you choose a part-time job, but twice? First time I did it I thought the game was broken and I restarted. You're a mage - that works THREE extra part-time jobs for a living. Is this supposed to be some sort of social commentary on modern economic issues? But why would literal village idiots have their one mage (in a world where bloodthirsty, malicious demons lurk) work three part time jobs (like clerking, being a guard or a farmhand) waste their time like this, instead, I don't know, learning magic to defend against demons?The bully posse plot is borderline \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665. For a strong, independent black woman with a mohawk, the vice-captain of the guard is surprisingly incompetent if they allow three bullies to terrorize a single villager every day of their life. This is a village, right? Everybody sees this, and no-one reacts. Just have the mayor resign and just kneel before three bullies, while having actual guardsmen answering to him.And boy, is the game woke. Strong black female warrior with a mohawk, check. Shy black healer boy who you can gay romance, check. Mysterious and cool bald dark skinned female demon hunter who apparently knows more about magic than you, the mage (maybe because you are forced to work three jobs that have nothing to do with magic, right?), check. Portly women beating a woman who beat a man in arms wrestling. Strong and powerful female demons who you can strangely sympathize with despite them being maniacal murderous torturers, check. What a wonderful, small microcosm where all the races live in harmony yet they somehow allow a bully to torment a man for years in broad daylight. So absolutely believable. Bonus points for strangely modern use of strong language which adds to the perfectly reproduced medieval fantasy experience. Bonus points for the "fabulous" demon huntress who leaves fake sinister messages in demon language, drenched in blood to, I kid you not, literally troll people. This despite her never really SEEN A DEMON in all her years of career.Oh, and don't even think it's any sort of a complete story. It's not. It ends on one of the worst cliffhangers I've ever seen, all the while resolving... nothing. I didn't see my character grow at all. Sure, I gained some stats here and there, but there is no difference in the position and achievement whatsoever.Think I was too harsh in my review? Well, one of the skills you can hone in this game is Sarcasm. Let's say this is a continuation of the player experience.Edit: The best written character is a CAT. No, it's not a magical animal. It's a normal, old cat you can pet and interact with. Since I am a cat person and I have one, I enjoyed the little cute fluffy critter immensely. Spoiler: It cruelly dies at the end and you can do absolutely nothing to prevent it. \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665..Edit 2: The more I think about this game, having played it through, the more I dislike it. There is no plot, characters are extremely shallow and one-dimensional, the entire situation is unbelievable, the game is not complete on its own, choices feel irrelevant, character growth feels irrelevant, the stats are all over the place which indicates buildup to something that doesn't really happen.
