There’s nonetheless some issues to repair and locations to shine.
Three of my mates have been capable of play via everything of the unfinished Chapter 4.
All of them favored it and didn’t have any main criticisms. Phew! (Aside from one pal, who stored mentioning that I ought to identify all the chairs as a result of the existence of “Chairiel” implies that each one the opposite chairs ought to have names as effectively… I’m in all probability not going to do this…)
I’m unsure if Chapter 2 remains to be the longest chapter, however Chapter 3 & 4 collectively are undoubtedly longer than Chapter 1 & 2 mixed. Serious about that’s sort of loopy…
