A little thought about the game being too cryptic
Yesterday I achieved the normal ending. I am a pretty curious guy, so I tried to pay attention throughout the entirety of the game - never got stuck, found a lot of secrets and shortcuts, and kinda understood what was going on. But to be honest, I gave up immediately after rolling the credits. I thought this game was going to be more "mysterious", more puzzly or interesting lore-wise...I was a bit disappointed to be honest.
Now I have been reading the translated manual and OH MY GOD. NOTHING is thrown at your face, the hints are there and it kinda makes you want to dig deeper into stuff! Why did it have to be un-translate-able till the end?!? My willingness to keep playing has gone to 0, I will probably just keep reading stuff about the golden path myself, but I would say that the devs really fucked up with the manual this time. They had PLENTY of opportunities to get us to auto-translate the pages at some point, but they didn't. The game would've been much more interesting. Am I the only one thinking that?
