All of CeLaVie Group games are griding heavy with alot of trial and error, if you like this sort of thing they're great ! His earlier works have an walkthrough mod that make then more enjoyable.
I try not to Ctrl skip as much as possible, but if the dialogue starts to drag on i tent to fast click chunks of the game so i can get to the good part faster but still can read enough lines to get a understanding of whats going on.
