this was so good!! i loved it!!

things i loved:

1. the story being from her perspective. from the start it humanizes her. i also loved her insight into the man, and past his unreliable narration. i loved how tired she was of it, i live how pissed off she was.

2. the triple aspect voices. i LOVE LOVE LOVED this. so good. i loved that she had her own thoughts separated from indoctrination, but she still has her own voices of 'feminization', of gender roles. they were all distinct and voice acting was fantastic.

3. the man sucked hard. a really great job of making him suck believably, from the exaggeration of his accomplishments while also putting down those who accomplished wat he hasnt, to the misogyny towards his coworkers, to his anger at even having a female boss (who is already nice to him).

4. i liked that the woman ending ended with you getting you getting him lol. just leaving. it was perfect.

the only things id critque is

1. i really wouldve loved the three aspects to be labled in the dialogue history, as i had a hard keeping track of which voice was who, as i found four separate voices for one character difficult to keep track of (plus the fact that deaf players/players not using sound qould not get the benefit of this really cool nuance of her internal dialogue

2. it was very simple to keep him happy but also i do get why he would be, because all he wants is subservience and simple validation. so youre not faking a complex relationship. but it would be nice if the conversation felt a little more complex.

anyway, i loved the story, nice job, i hope to see other stories from you

(I'm sorry for the late reply!! I released another game recently and finishing it completely fried my brain ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿซ )

Thank you so much for playing (and for organizing your thoughts into a neat numbered list ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚)!

1. I'm really glad that you enjoyed Yumeko!! I tried to keep a balance between making her "bland" (since she basically has no experiences outside of the room where she's trapped) while also giving her enough personality to humanize her, so I'm happy that you liked her ๐Ÿฅฐ

2. THANK YOU SO MUCH, the voice actors all did such a fantastic job ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ The trio of actresses to act as the narration was something that I came up with relatively late in production, and it was so much fun choosing voices to represent the different "gender roles" that lie in Yumeko's future!

3. LOLLL I'M GLAD, to be honest I loosely based the Doctor's behavior on people that I've interacted with in the past ๐Ÿ˜‚ so I'm happy that he turned out realistic...

4. ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ a truly happily ever after...

For the critiques:

1. Honestly I wasn't expecting people to necessarily notice the usage of the different voice actresses for the narration (or how they were used), and I was actually amazed at how many people picked up on it! It always makes me so happy when people notice these details/nuances ๐Ÿฅน In hindsight I think that definitely would have been a good thing to add (especially since I already had the different "characters" labeled in the script for my purposes LOL) 

2. Very true!! After I wrote the script I wasn't able to change it much since it was fully voice acted, but in hindsight I would have liked to flesh things out a little more, since there were a lot of interesting possibilities that I thought to include after the fact ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿซ  (I'll have to explore them in another game, alas...)

Thank you so much for playing and taking the time to leave your thoughts ๐Ÿฅน I'd say that I make a lot of games with a similar "flavor," so I hope that you enjoy playing them if you decide to try them out! ๐Ÿ™
