I would normally give a game like this 4 and a half stars. I would love to play this game further, but so far there are some issues that prevent me from enjoying it fully.
First, J/K/P doesn't really feel that good to me for commands. Many successful games of this type have alternate control schemes or mappable inputs. Arrow keys and Z/X/C seem to be common.
Secondly, the UI is clunky and sluggish. It takes a good 2 seconds to interact with anything. If this wasn't a game where you had to talk to a lot of people and interact with a lot of things, this wouldn't be an issue, but it's disconnecting when you have to wait this often.
Finally, the menu systems could use a reworking. They aren't as easy to use as I would like. The layout is unintuitive, and the white text on light blue background doesn't stand out. I would recommend a dark overlay behind the white text, so that it's easier to read. Also, since we can use the mouse in the menu, it'd be beneficial to have a menu button in the game, as well as an exit button for main menu and a back button for submenus.
If you can fix these things, it'd make things easier for a lot of people, myself included. But as it is now, it's just too tedious to play, and so I'm going to take off a star for that.
I wish you good luck on your next chapter, and I hope these concerns will be addressed.
