Noticed a few problems
First thing to note: text has a tendency to repeat itself during cutscenes (as if the sequence is repeating) and even cuts out sometimes.

Second issue: Most NPCs do not interact after a given point (I think I noticed it after arriving in the Forest area with the monkey) except for store vendors and story related material

Third problem: I noticed the scenery and even artwork in the gallery overlap each other one second then switch in the other (1 overlaps 2, then 2 overlaps 1).

Fourth maybe: I am not sure how far you were planning to change certain NPCs, but some still have noticeable nipples in one area but then are clothed in another (Phoenix stands out the most in this with the story based Nymph being bare-chested, random ones being clothed)

Fifth is specific: Please fix the way the electrical switch in the Electric Womb Room 7 (last room) is displayed. It always appeared off (had to completely go around in circles seven times), but I managed to get by it thankfully.

Some recommendations: Make it so you can either farm in the last area with Eradine or have it so the character can leave the area (I got lucky enough to beat her in the second try). This wouldn’t be an issue if the player was allowed the option to manually save. (Unless you can teleport to areas and I missed it)

I am not sure if this was a browser game originally, but it would really help to have a Esc key linked to the menu or to close out of certain windows like the store page.

Other issues were personal, so not really worth bringing up.

I guess we can turn this into a bug forum post since there isn't an official one. Here's some things I put in my review of the game.

Controls - An official Xbox One controller works with the interface SOME of the time I have tried to play this game. If the gamer has a third-party controller, the gamer will be clicking the pulsating A and B button icons on the screen with their mouse.

Informing the Gamer - The game doesn't tell you important things like: (a) you are going to go to a fight where you cannot grind and yet you are told to buy potions (b) if you equip an item on your nymph and the nymph already has equipment, you either need to first go into the party menu and unequip the currently equipped item or that item will be forever lost to the bit bucket when you equip the new item.

The Change Party Interface - The game's solution for chaning party members is NOT intuitive. Eventually, I figured out that I first click a nymph element and then I click rest and then I click the party member that needs to sit on the bench. Once I do that, I BACK UP from the current screen. Then, I can click a different nymph element and then recruit to pull a nymph off from the bench. If the devs choose to keep the current Change Party interface, a neat little tutorial would be a great idea.

Autosave - This game should not have an autosave. We need save game slots that we can actually choose to save over when we go to the next area.

Restore archived autosave - Really developers? Really? Let me get this straight. The gamer has NO FREAKING IDEA what is in the autosave archive file that the gamer is loading. Then all the autosaves are deleted when the gamer chooses to load an autosave. Then the gamer learns that the gamer should have pressed the "10" button instead of the "1" button. Uhm.... Couldn't you give us file descriptions? Locations where the save file was made? Why is this "feature" even in the game? Do I even need to mention that if a player grinds 10 battles in one area, this "feature" is immediately useless?

Coming updates

I was told that the developers plan on adding free-roaming grinding to the game. That would be a nice touch. Right now, if you buy the game, you must find the places on the map where monsters live and then grind and grind and grind those (particularly the ones by the healing shrines). You grind a spot until you are BEYOND sick of it just--in--case you get to a spot in the story where you can't grind for several story events before a new dungeon appears. This is the main reason why autosave is NOT favored by gamers in games like this.

Bugs

1) If you try to grind in the area with "Monster" as the boss (in Fantasy Zone), you will fight a random nymph and then recruit a second "Monster". Also, the "Monster" should come in with her name instead of just being named "Monster."

2) The Mute Cynic already noted the "Electric Womb" bug.

3) Where is "New Game Plus"? I watched the credits until the screen began filling with gray bars. No option appeared for starting a "New Game Plus". And if I chose "New Game", I get to overwrite all my hard work without any "New Game Plus" benefits. Which really means that I lose all of my progress. Period.
