I know the Artist and Writer appreciate the kind words! The goal for this is not to annoy the player but to enhance the feeling of being a researcher and managing the facility. I’m going to be talking more about that over my next few devlogs.
The game was always intended to have better management sim mechanics, but the tech with RenPy really made it hard to add the features they were looking for.
We want to add these because we think that the player should be rewarded for actually spending time and learning about the characters. The characterization has a direct influence on the gameplay so there’s going to be new opportunities for character stories.
