Good lord, they're 70% legs. That's not necessarily a bad thing (depending on your fetish), but it is a pretty distinctive art choice.

This sounds truly fascinating, a rich story with turn based combat, and maybe the mentioned dialogue means some serious choice and consequence opportunities? I'll be keeping both eyes peeled for this!

Yeah looks good but I'm not seeing much RPG. Looks like a walking simulator crossed with a Castlevania game. Otherwise known as a Metroidvania. Prove me wrong.
