The first thing about this game I'll discuss is it's tutorials. This game tries to explain everything. It really has a professional quality about it in that way. A lot of OHR games kind of leave it up to the player to figure out stuff and a lot for the times the players don't. I really thought the idea of having the backstory for Bob surlaw was pretty smart. I played with my girlfriend who had no idea who surlaw was so it really helped there.
On to graphics: Paul's style is pretty solid. I wouldn't say his graphics are the greatest, but they're not at all bad and I would even go so far as saying they're some of the better graphics found on the OHR.
Gamplay: I think that the idea of disabling the battles is pretty clever. Sometimes people just don't want to do rpg battles, they can get kind of boring. On the other side, the battles themselves seemed pretty flawed. I'm not sure how intentional is was to have a majority of battles only possible to win with Czarina, but that got annoying fast. It would be nice if either bob, or the clown doctor could solve the battle gimmicks sometimes too.
Overall, the game was pretty good, but loses point for being really short. 6/10

Thanks for doing this, I'll watch the videos in a second. You're definitely right about it being annoying for Czarina to be absolutely required to win certain battles, it would probably be a good idea to sell cheap water balloon items in town for those enemies just in case she's knocked out.
