I swear I've seen this dork in another game.😂
He was just as bad at everything in that game.
He really need to work harder if he wants you to not think of him as a looser.
His manipulation skills are shait, and he clearly didn't take the time to set up a more office-looking office.
I mean... all he needed was to make sure no one came down there, build a few walls, roll a carpet on the floor, and steal proper office furniture and pop up a fake diploma.
How hard can it be? *laughs and pats his cute little head*
Oh, the end-after-session scene shows the flaw in his plan.
Yeah... he really should plan better.
But at least he HAD a plan. So that's good.
My respect for him went up a little now.
I like this game. I just wish it was longer.
Will there be more games?
If the problem is that the creator is no good with manipulations, I have a ton of books I can suggest on the topic. ^_^
It's the perfect setting for a cunning yandere manipulator.
You're already in a vulnerable position, it's very easy to get attached to your therapist (thus the law against dating your clients as one).
Hrm... Faking credentials could have been difficult, but identity theft is actually not that hard, especially if this is set in the US, and he picks someone who is from another State that just left it.
He could easily kill and take that person's place.
The government may not be fooled, but all he need is to change -his- name to the same name as the therapist, and make sure the therapist was only labeled missing, not dead.
And steal his papers of course.
It'd be a lot of work, but I can see him do it for the sake of love.
(Not to mention that therapists earns well, and he'd want to take care of you.
It's easy to fake as well. The internet is useful for how to deal with the other clients, which upholds his mask.)
Once he has a real office and people in that office proves he works there, gaining your trust is cakewalk.
(Assuming you aren't a paranoid person. And anxiety is not paranoia.)
Once he has that trust, not to mention learned how your mind works, it'd be ridiculously easy to manipulate you.
The MC may find bits and pieces suspicious, but if he's clever he has a logical excuse at hand. Maybe a dash of gaslighting as well. If you trust him it'll work like a charm.
I would LOVE to see this story expanded on, I really would.
Please say you plan to work on this project more in the future.
The potential for a great story is very great. ^_^
