I have noticed that almost every one of my comments here have received at least a few down votes. I think everyone that has down voted meo misunderstand..... The reason behind my post here showing what I consider issues with the game It said that the creator of the game can look over them and perhaps improve upon the game If I did not like the game I wouldn't play it... Am I criticisms every last one of them would be scathing and saying things with the words such as incompetent or moronic That's not the case there's only been maybe three posts where I ask what was being thought how stupid is something is And in those cases it was situations where something made absolutely no sense at all, So for those of you that think I'm hating on this game that's not what this is This is me trying to get feedback so that maybe it'll be even better I've done the same thing for sprinting cucumber on his game a looping history and now I'm actually a tester for his builds.

As another example in this game that I feel could use improvement is the fact that in the beginning of the game the investigations you got to follow up on the leads who got to get on the internet talk to people associate and learn... Later on in the game it became lazy Go to Grandpa Have Grandpa tell you what to do next It would have been better in my opinion to continue being able to do research to investigate to actually feel like you're gaining these answers for yourself I mean after all what's the purpose of being told by not only the artifact but by your gramps that you need to come up with your own answers If Gramps is just going to come right out and tell you oh yeah you need to go here and you need to do this and you need to talk to that person?  It went from the creator seemingly respecting the fact that a person's intelligent enough to figure things out for their own to having to be guided by their nose or their handheld to get to the proper solution... Now everyone feels that they're that naive or stupid that they have to have that guidance then there should be a checkbox where you can put please guide me to make it easier for them but why take what was a good mechanic in the game and basically dumb it down especially mid game for no apparent reason at all?

Your "feedback" can be sent in message to the game creator, or you can go to the discord and put your spoilers and criticisms there, instead of on a public forum here... You can even write a review for the game which will ALSO reach the author, as well as anyone that happens to follow your profile on Itch.  We get it- you don't approve of (apparently most of) the game. Stop playing, and move on, if that is the case. You sound as though you believe you could make a better game; you're more than welcome to try. In the meantime, maybe try not to  bash literally years of someone's hard work -- the condescending tone isn't helping your argument that the criticism is meant as friendly or constructive. Have the kind of day you deserve.

You mentioned Discord? Where's the link for that on itch.io? Because I don't see it If I had I would have clicked there first.  Also I don't see the option to directly message the developer...  it's possible I'm missing something because by frankly I don't know too much about this platform That being the case the only way I know to give information is to use the comment section provided.For your information, some developers actually appreciate being made aware of inconsistencies errors typos etc In fact to that extent I have been working with and on a game for a different developer from a previous beta build then a different alpha build and the now current beta build so your viewpoint is moot If the developer themselves did not wish me to speak They have the option of banning me from commenting or replying thank you for your input it's not needed, furthermore it is thanks to me doing very much the same as I'm doing here that the other developer accepted my offer of help when I directly contacted them They had noted my feedback said it was much appreciated and that if I had responded again they had been planning to reach out to me. Also if I disliked the game I wouldn't bother to play it let alone try to give it pointers where it could be improved I would have just reviewed it as trash and moved on... You claimed it I seem to have a problem with the majority of the game I guarantee you the game itself is a lot more than 20 scenes. So unless you're implying that this game is much shorter than it actually is You're most of comment was highly exaggerated. 

You left 36 different post... all worded much like this one; rudely. If you post a review of the game (upper right hand corner of your screen, along with other options like "add to collection", etc.) you can "rate and review', which can be read by the developer, as well as anyone that follows your profile. You're just being rude and cruel at this point... it looks more like you're trying to chase possible interested parties off, more than anything else. Beyond that, visiting the subscribestar page (possibly contributing more than just nasty comments if you can spare $2 a month or more) guarantees you'll find a Discord link, where you stand a good chance of talking to the Arcadean himself. Honestly, you think you know enough about this to comment about their game design, but you can't figure out how to effectively reach authors you're claiming to try to help? I've read the comments-- there was NOTHING polite or constructive-- all snark and sarcasm. Did you suppose the dev never responded because you didn't bash him enough? I've played through this game four times now, I'm a patron, and I'm in regular contact with his community in Discord-- this is NOT how you go about critiquing a game. 36 separate comments-- not including this one. Not one response from the dev... take a hint. 
 

First of all if it was and I quote you and being rude I would have said something along the lines of this is the worst piece of dung I have ever had the displeasure of playing... At no point did I say Anything even remotely scathing toward this game I did say I don't understand what the developer was thinking or I don't know why they would do something that makes no sense and that is a logical conclusion when for an example your supposed to be finding out where Lyx is hiding and you get traces from locations that have nothing to do with the actual last place you would have left from.  All of that said quite frankly it's none of your business what I say none of you it's the developer has issue with what I say They have every right to have my comments deleted, to have me band from sending comments in the first place, And I imagine a way to directly report to itch.io about my conduct... Considering I'm still able to leave comments, I'm not received any emails from itch.io stating a developer has raised issues with your conduct I have to assume that either a this person hasn't gotten around to reading my comments, The person isn't bothered by my comments, who are the persons just too busy to even visit the comment section. Which considering there have been at least a few people asking is the project still going and the developer has not, directly responded yeah I'm still working on the game indicates to me that the latter is the most probable

First of all: punctuation. I almost had a stroke reading that. Second of all: Your interpretation of your comments is not the Only interpretation, and you've been -
A) less than kind- whether you realize it or not, your comments are nearly ALL negative.
B) sarcastic- I could quote a few, here, but you imply stupidity several times. 
C) patronizing- 'Developers should be thanking me for my extremely valuable opinion-- I know so much more than them about this!'**
D) relentless- 35+ posts over just a few days; one would almost think you've nothing else better to do...
E) uninformed- You've personally NO idea where this game is actually going, what future plans are, etc.
F) unrealistic- Expecting others act as you do, and further expecting more realism in a fantasy anime harem AVN. 
** (this is not a direct quote, but definitely how you come across-- extremely patronizing, self righteous, self important, etc.)
You have the means to contact the developer, now, and yet you continue here. It seems to put a shadow of untruth to your claimed intent.

You forgot one of the options they have: Ignoring. It's easy: you click on their profile, and block it. Poof. No more comments. Some people do that, especially when the posts are multiple AND negative. But... thirty-something posts (and more than a week) later, surely it must be because they're too busy! Surely they would be simply dying to talk to someone that has practically spammed the comments with post after post of complaints and snark directed at something they've poured their heart and soul in for the past few years. Obviously. How could they not see you only want to help them? Maybe come over for afternoon tea, and write it for them?
Sarcasm aside: if you REALLY want to help, and have input, follow the proper channels. Join the Subscribestar page, and the Discord, and try your luck there. Otherwise, the game IS free, and it is more than a little ungrateful to complain about something you got without paying a dime.

You're right The game is free..  Though unless you're the developer, there is no way you have any knowledge as to whether or not I've actually putting money into this game For all you know (Again saying the only person that would know for sure is the developer) I've purchased the game for $10, $15, or even $25... But I'll be honest You're right I haven't paid for it, as of yet it doesn't mean I won't I did very much similar with two other games one of which was Rewind: A looping history, The other was Harem Hotel (Yes I realize it's bad manners and probably uncouth to include the names of other people's works on a comment section However you've already accused me of basically being uncouth so I might as well do so. As far as your list of negative traits that you assume I have expressed including sarcasm sarcasm is saying the opposite of something that is true in a biting end or spiteful manner and no point did I say something along the lines of Oh and I really love how you had me track down Lyx It made so much sense... In fact each and every one of my comments even if they may seem harsh has been factual in the content or way that there is issue with it. You're right I have no clue where the developers planning on going with the game but I don't recall sitting there and saying "Well if you're going to have the character do this" *insert unknown action* "then why do this now?" But I've made a decision, I'm going to practice what I preach at least when it comes to you I will not respond to any for the provocation from you I will not rise up to try to defend or explain my post If you don't like what I have to say feel free to ignore me In fact I encourage you to do so.
