I enjoyed Chapter 2 even more than Chapter 1, although there were a few extra typos especially toward the end.
If you enjoy visual novels, especially if steampunk-dystopia appeals as a setting, this is worth a read. (Note that my playing time is much higher than actual game time, as usual.)

The addition of semi-sort-of hidden object scenes (a handful of them) was a bit odd, and in retrospect I hope that they were intended to be "interactive" more than actual HO puzzle scenes, since they were easy and a little distracting. On the other hand, had the scenes been a little better crafted, they might have worked. My own sense is that they should have stuck with the picture puzzle woodblock games, which are quiet, relaxing, and already part of the overarching story. I like HO scenes, and with care, they could add them as a feature. However, until / unless better developed, I'm not sold on the addition.

Overall, a good game, and I found it worth the price of admission, although I got both chapters on sale. The art and story in Chapter 2 is better than in Chapter 1. I agree with the reviewer who commented that a strong editor would have helped the dialogue, but it didn't bother me enough not to recommend the game (even though editing is my own forte). A last note: I'm enjoying getting to know the characters a bit better!
