This game is currently unfinished and suffers from a "great start, poor finish" (dragon's head, snake's tail) problem. While the graphics are flashy and the beginning is engaging, the pacing drags in the middle, and the latter half becomes overly complicated. It feels as though the scope was expanded too much, leading to a rushed and sloppy conclusion to the story.
The most important thing to keep in mind is a critical bug: if your save file exceeds 10MB, the game may fail to load. This happens because the file grows every time you break objects into pieces, change their locations, dump a massive amount of items into a container to sell to a single merchant, trade frequently with major merchants, or craft too many items. Once the file becomes too large, it will no longer load, making the game unplayable.
To successfully reach the ending, please follow these guidelines to minimize save file size:
To keep your save file clean, try to pack regular items into containers before selling them to merchants—this keeps their inventory lists tidy. For quest items, store them in a separate pouch and transfer them to your base later.
Also, avoid trading too often with merchants who carry a large variety of items. They store every item you sell them in a hidden inventory and generate new ones for you to buy. Since these hidden items are never deleted, they will slowly eat up your save file’s space and eventually cause the file to exceed the 10MB limit
Do not reprocess items: Avoid smelting items to craft new ones. Even when items are melted down, they are assigned new item handles instead of being removed from the record, causing the save file to grow continuously.
Avoid intentionally destroying objects or moving them around, as breaking them into smaller pieces will directly increase your save file size. Every time you pick up or move an object, it is recorded in your save file, causing it to bloat over time.
The game starts at around 6MB, but it can easily exceed 8MB by the end. I learned this the hard way—I traded too frequently with merchants, and my save file eventually became too corrupted to load. The issues started in Silverglen and quickly spread to Cyseal. Because of this, I was forced to avoid both Silverglen and Cyseal entirely until I finally reached the ending.
