Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Im glad you liked the polish. I will take a look at the bug in the streetfighter minigame.
Making the start smooth for players who have not played the prequel is a major concern, and I will see how to improve this further. Could you tell me exactly where you lost interest? That would be helpful information.
In general, Chapter 1 and 2 are a a bit slow, as the story needs to build momentum before the big turn of events in Chapter 3. (It's hard to condense them, while also giving the player time to develop the necessary closeness to the characters to care for them, once tragedy happens. A common problem for visual novels with deeper and longer story lines. – Not saying that I can't improve on that, though. :)
The narration – some people like it better than reading, others don't. So we have it usually a bit at the start (and it can be turned off anyway). In professional VNs is narrated throughout.
