so... Bright Memory Episode 1 is...
...pretty good??
It's stunningly beautiful but it has some performance issues. I keep getting occasional massive frame drops, despite it being smooth as butter 90% of the time (these framedrops coincide with battles D: ).
Stable though, otherwise. no crashes or anything, and fairly well optimised. The english translation is shonky as heck but it's A) Early Access, B) Apparently coded and written by one chinese person, and also C) very indie so y'know.
It's more or less understandable though! It's not like horrific or anything. It's... pretty good so far! Though it feels kinda like a demo and I think I'm probably most of the way through this game at the moment.
