Tried Stray Gods, it's pretty much what I was expecting, but good gods the audio mixing is bad. Dialogue volume is all over the place; one character is very much louder than the rest, and even within the same line of dialogue by the same VA the volume can go from loud to barely audible. Audio engineering is truly an invisible art when it's done well, because when it's not... it's really obvious.

I was playing the game with one hand on the volume knob, it almost become some kind of invisible rhythm game as a result. xD
