Certainly an interesting fangame. Unfortunately, I think the game's execution is incredibly flawed and I ended up not enjoying large chunks of the game. Notably, I think chapter 2 is a mess and brings the game down significantly for me. I love the original F31 due to it's atmosphere and this version of it has none of that. The song picks are all over the place, and there's an inconsistency in what the guest maker stages are (some are remakes, some are completely original). This ends up in a very un-cohesive final result, at least for me.
Past that though, the game gets much better. Chapters 3, 4, and 6 are all pretty great. Especially chapter 4, which I think has the best vibes in the whole game. It's funny to give chapter 4 praise though considering I stopped on it for a year and a half (oops!).
However, I was not a fan of infamy rush, the figure save in particular was my least favorite of the game. I think the original save in figure is already not that good, and when you take a gimmick that just adds more learning on top of it, it's just not fun. The original butterfly screen is one of my favorite saves in a fangame, but in this context all you're doing is remembering the correct timings to go and never actually playing around the attacks.
I also found myself let down by the last chapter. I wish it did a little more than just do exactly what CN3 does (except a few screens longer). When I got to the last room and beat the game, all I really thought was, "that's it?" It doesn't help that I find the idea for the floor a little overdone at this point. I can only really think of 4-5 instances, but it gets less cool each time I see it.
Another, more minor issue I have is that the game feels rather unsure of itself. The game can be very rude towards the player and has some really brutal saves, but at other points its weirdly nice and forgiving (the ex15 skip, letting you go back after grabbing the teleport in bad house).
All of this culminates in a very very messy fangame, never really able to become something greater than the sum of its parts. There are some genuinely excellent and memorable parts of this game, but I don't think it captures that feeling of going on a journey like some other large, sweeping fangames.
It's a shame, because the passion in this game is obvious, and I do think it's worth playing (or watching), but I can't say that I love it.

I'm not very good at writing long reviews so I'll keep this one short.
A monolithic achievement in the history of fangames, in my opinion. There is such a vast display of talent in this game, and it's very clear to me that everyone who worked on this project did great in some way or another. The third section of this game is definitely the best thing I've ever played in pretty much any platformer. The scale and creativity is simply unbelievable.. the visuals and atmosphere, too. Thank you all who helped make this wonderful experience.
