Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
One wishlist suggestion that I would add: the dev is clearly a capable artist, so it would be so cool to see them lean into this in the form of a gallery where we could unlock scene snapshots as a sort of achievement and to add even more reward and immersion (for example, key memories/events with the NPCs and/or one for each of the career endings) - something in the main menu to get us competitionist’s more hooked.
