Another slow burn, another "goofball" of an MC. 

All the characters are one-dimensional including the MC, he is the comedic relief nobody asked for and it's there because of a lack of backbone when writing stories. 

I feel like in these kinds of games comedy is a must for devs but they don't understand that it's either a hit-or-miss kind of thing. You don't need to drop a joke every 3 seconds and when you are talking about something serious you don't need to crack a joke either, don't be afraid of making serious scenes when time demands it.

Now about how the story is a slow burn, the story goes nowhere and so does the character development, What's the point of making a slow burn when you don't make any kind of progress 3 hours in? This is the definition of "it gets better 10 chapters in" literally speaking... And it's all due to how the MC is written, he never takes things seriously, always waits for stuff to go south, and always makes the same mistake over and over again... Be confident in what you want to portray, and don't be afraid of doing stuff that might upset some people, the story needs ASAP to kick in and so do the character's personalities, give them some life because they feel like androids, holy cow do they feel like androids...

Good luck with the project tho, sadly I didn't like the game like some other people but making games it's not an easy task, and for that you have my respect, best wishes to you dev or devs.
