I played this story over the last two days and what can I say? I'm in awe! This was beautiful, absolutely magnificent! I can't really decide on best story ever, but it's on par with my other favourites, The Frequently Deceased and Lost in Reflections.
First, I love the way this whole season is set up: three separate cases, and a diabolical plan connecting them. Then I loved getting to know these three people! I love the fact that we got to see a Decency Censor as a human being, as a character. I love the subtle nods to Sunless Skies. Correspondence and Discordance. I love the steampunkyness of the Machine... omg, I love the Machine! Of course, the final decision wasn't hard at all for me - I would never countenance anything untoward happening to such a brilliant mind and his beautiful invention. For science! For progress!
*Ahem, sorry... got a little carried away there*
Reading Rook Crofton's post about Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace provided the icing on the cake. Thank you! FL players are the best-educated anywhere. 
Also, I think it's huge. So many stages or chapters! So many words and I still feel like every single snippet of text was extremely interesting and deserved its place! (I save every ES into a text file, and Persona's is the biggest yet (excluding Flint).)
I liked the mechanics, too, straightforward and easy.
Top-notch ES, all around!

Hello all,
I've recently finished the Persona Engine on two separate alts (yes, I know I have a terrible habit of letting my ESes sit around for months before getting to them) but I can't for the life of me find the Season of Skies hub, my "Study" where I'm supposed to go to examine the item you get at the end of the story.
The other season hubs seem to have stuck around as long as at least one of their stories was active (e.g., one of my alts still has access to Breakwater House). Is this a bug? Should I send a bug report? I'm assuming that I'll be able to do the item trade-in when I complete the other two ESes in the Season of Skies, but I also want to see the other content that's in the Study before I end the season.

R Fellow Oswho. Don't ask what the "R." stands for. The poor fellow is sensitive about it. And violent.

You can definitely send in a bug report for this - I ran into the same issue for the same reason myself, and support sorted it all out.

Yes, the hubs sometimes go missing, and they sort it out very smartly.
