Dragon’s Dilemma

I like the story, it's funny but also has some good emotional moments too. I like the different varied paths there are, with some things changing when different combinations are selected rather than just the individual branches/decisions themselves. Something else I like relating to that, is how you can make a lot of saves (with custom names) for trying out different things, which cuts down on the amount of skipping through stuff you need to do.
I have a lot of hours because of trying to find different endings/scenarios, but I probably played for about 5 hours or so before going full skip and look for endings/achievements mode, although even still I've seen new sections of dialogue from doing different things all throughout, so I've definitely had more than 5 hours of that overall. I still do need one more achievement though so I might look for it occasionally, but I already have for quite a while. My first playthrough took me about 70 minutes, but I do read quite fast so it's probably closer to 90 minutes - 2 hours for the average person. There's enough different paths to give at least a few hours of good decent playtime before it's mainly looking for specific stuff and skipping a lot. I got this game when it was on sale, so if the price is an issue for you then you can get it then.
Sometimes the art styles of different characters/settings can clash a bit, but it's fine and you get used to it quite quickly (or at least I did).
Some spoilers: The dragon does disguise as a human in latter half/third of the story, I'm kinda eh on this trope (I like the dragons to stay looking like dragons personally), but you can do some funny stuff with it and the characterisation of the protagonist is the same, so I think it's fine but also something to mention in the review.
There are a few bugs and such with the game which I'll put below, but only one of them really impacts in a big way and it doesn't matter for achievements.
I do wish the skip option was instant, but I think that would make some of the visuals/sounds weird, because when I press space quickly with the skip on (making it basically instant) sometimes the visuals/audio get a bit weird/overlapping.
If the audio cuts out (or the text just stops advancing) you can save and reload to fix it.
There's a few spelling errors here and there but they don't really impact much. Sometimes you'll get a blank textbox with "UNDEFINED" in the part where it has who said it, but these aren't really too much of an issue, they just look buggy.
There's a bug I saw where a different character than expected showed up for 1 line of dialogue (replacing another character which should've been there), but these seem mostly random one-off cases even if there's more than one. I don't know if this is caused by some things not resetting between runs, which might be the case for what the next point is.
There is one ending that I do think is bugged, this is the "impacts in a big way" I was talking about. (Correct me if I'm wrong, it's a spoiler but I put it as a thread in the discussions area of the community hub for the game if you want to read it.) Whether it's a bug or not doesn't impact the achievement I'm missing nor does it affect other achievements though.
