Thank you so much for the feedback!
1) Yes, the game definitely needs a good tutorial.
2) I want to agree with you, but I am concerned that might be off-putting for players - this will result in not being able to make a choice at all when young. I was hoping that the Destiny points offers some level of choice at any time, while at the same time a "reward" for striving for consciousness.
3) Yes, I like that. Maybe I am including relationship values for each part, depending on if you ignore it or include it.
7) Love it!
8) This is really important to me - I definitely want to improve that, and I hope you have some time to name examples. I want it to be as natural as possible, with in the limitations of the game.
