This game meanders cluelessly from scene to scene with zero regard for any and sort of plot or pacing. It feels like a compilation of someone's adventures in AI Dungeon or NovelAI where they edited nothing, and only half-heartedly tried to keep the story on track.
What is the purpose of the random dress malfunctions of the woman in the market at the beginning? Why does everyone gasp like it's scandalous, when several people walk through town in various states of undress later.
Why does Alenja stupidly follow a trail of apples like a cartoon dog, and then decide to help a dryad in the middle of trying to rush back to save her friend? If your answer is "because she got lost, " ask yourself if that's good writing.
And as far as game mechanics go, what's the point of having timed decisions when one is always a game over? Timed decisions that lead to branching paths are fine, paths that lead to a game over are fine, but putting them together is really silly if you ask me. Minor props for including a subscript that tells you which choices lead to game over though.
This is my first time checking this game out, and maybe the original was better, but I am solidly unimpressed.
