I agree with some of the other users here, there should definitely be a way to rescue lylanya(that's not her name i don't think. The goddess of light)
Also i recall playing this game way back when there was only one domina, and i wasn't a big fan, but i gotta say that i like the newest two dominas quite a bit.
I definitely think that one of the aspects that i personally think makes games like this and ToT great is the outside of combat interactions, the in combat stuff has never really appealed to me much.
I enjoyed SCC, and this is promising, and your next game looks pretty good as well. Good luck, Dekarous!
