With how old school this game does some shit, and how I've been dicking about I am slightly worried I will hit a hidden time limit, like in Fallout 1 before I even attempt to dive into the main quest. I'm not just gonna turn squidy all of sudden and end my game if I take too long, am I?

I read in a review that there is talk all the time about getting cured of your problem quickly, there really is no time limit and you can enjoy and explore the game until you finally get a cure.

Essentially the theme (excuse) of the game is "you should have already suffered the consequences of your issue, but for some reason you haven't.. yet."

The game does a good job somewhat pushing you towards finding the cure, but makes it clear that it is not something that is easily cured. A healer might tell you it's above their abilities, another NPC might tell you they can handle it but are missing advanced equipment to do so, and so on.

It does that balance well that you wouldn't care how long it takes you to do the main objective, but reminds you that you need to do it at some point.
