So, I'm a bit confused about the premise of this mod.
"This mod is not a fan fiction, or a way to insert speculative theories into the narrative. Instead, it is an attempt to enhance the story that already exists."
And yet, from my admittingly limited research, it seems that both amnesia and Time Compression were present in the original Japanese script? This seems like a very significant change to the core narrative and something a localizer would almost never, ever do. It seems like the better approach would have been to rework and explain those concepts better than to remove them outright.
I appreciate the time and effort that was clearly put into this project, I'm not trying to disparage it. I would just like a clearer understanding of it's contents in order to accurately assess if it is for me.
