The story is standard fare thus far (anti-hero lives in a world where everyone seems to know everything about everything except said anti-hero). I've played up until the Necropolis (Thanatos' room, currently) and I must say, I have a real problem with the dreadfully SLOW pacing of cut-scene events.
Messages display very slowly, and there's way too long of a delay once they've finished scrolling. It's very, VERY annoying.
I admire Nero's play style. Unique. Keep up the hard work!
