I've completed my first playthrough and don't feel like I will continue playing it. Umbraclaw is a very unique game that tells the story of a cat that died for unknown reasons and has the desire (希望) to return to its owner in the real world. The gameplay is simple but has a lot of unique gimmicks, like its principal gameplay element, the アニマルスキル, where every time the player dies, the cat revives with a new skill based on other animals that helps him in his trajectory.
However, at the same time it is a cool gimmick and very unique, I really don't like to be forced to play with some abilities every time I die. For some of them, it is just boring (like the lion) or gets in the way of the player (like being forced to spend energy), and even with the skills that are very useful, you'll feel like you're cheating or the game is having pity on you.
Even so, it was a good game, and I may give it another try after some time.
