I'm not sure what I am allowed to say and what not, so I'll answer general questions until given other permissions, or until the devs comment here. The game play will be tens of hours per session. It is (so far as I know) not yet available for general evaluation; I am one of a set of private testers. There are a good double dozen quests to solve, many of which dovetail into, or affect other quests. Combat is turn-based, but takes account of time in a neat and (to accessible games) new way. Each of the six character classes has unique combat and non-combat abilities that make each worth playing. There is already some nice NPC interaction that affects the story, with more promised in the kickstarter updates. I'm sorry if I can't answer specific questions yet, but I hope that gives a sense of what the devs are doing. Let's say that I thought it was worth supporting them at the $200 level of their kickstarter, and call that an endorsement.
