This is my second time to Japan so I'm familiar with the general vibe/infrastructure and travel routine, but first time in Osaka (last trip was Tokyo + Arashiyama only) and more importantly first solo trip ever, so I've been a little nervous about how much I should be planning- tried to keep it light and flexible but ended up with a few more options than a week and a half would permit.

Feedback is welcome, especially on days I have multiple things I'm kicking around. As a consideration, I'm not a big "have to see everything everywhere all the time" person, but there are a few non-negotiables in here. Biggest interests are anime/video games, the ocean/marine life and the spiritual/otherworld

The game very beautifully hand-drawn in black and white, in like a sketch-y pen or pencil style? I think it was first person POV because I don't remember there being a player character on the screen. You'd start in an area with a building and a path, then click on the path or some prompt to go down the path and either more of the area would be revealed or it would take you to another image- like changing scenes in a point-and-click game, except I think the browser was literally loading other pages with each movement. I remember the loads being kinda long (but this was also early internet and I was using a school computer). Not sure if there was combat or if it was completely traversal/puzzle

For context: I'm running a more or less meta Caro team (Faint/Thais/GDoll/Dor or GHelot) who are all level 60+ with good wheels/WoDs and have high skills (not all level 6 because of the timegate on special mats, unfortunately). I also have other leveled teams on the side I can use, but that one is currently my strongest.

Up through chapter 7 was a breeze. Chapter 8 was tricky, but only near the beginning while I was getting used to the lex buffs and how to use them. Chapter 9, though is intense- and now the finale boss rush is kicking my ass. 9-3 was almost suspiciously easy, but 9-4 and 9-5 have both used 3-4 emergency gnosis to clear, and I'm afraid that the next......6? 7? chapters will

I'm more than familiar with Princess Maker and Long Live The Queen, but more specifically I've been playing Persona 5 X recently and it got me back into the mood of grinding stats like eloquence/bravery/knowledge/etc. to meet arbitrary checks (or suffer the consequences).

I'd prefer something a little more geared towards first person POV or at least being the character (Atlus games again as the prime example- namely Metaphor and Persona) as opposed to being responsible for taking care of somebody else (the Princess Maker Parent framework), but if you think the game is worth recommending despite that, I'm not going to say no. Also, I don't mind either way whether there's a time limit involve

The biscuit part softened up while it was on top of my cup and couldn't hold out. I scooped it out with a spoon and it tasted fine, if a little coffee-er. And now my coffee tastes cinnamon-ier. I think it's still a win-win.

Not in a "sorry I forgot, I'll try to remember" kind of way, but a "I'm not even going to try because I'm used to it this way" kind of way.

Especially if the word is from a different language, even more so if it's a proper noun like a location or a name (this also applies to "language"-ifying somebody's name, like George vs Jorge). It just comes off as super disrespectful.
