Thank you so much for considering the request for a hide button. You're very cool for that.

You did an awesome job for Bree's story, honestly I forgot I was playing a game and felt like I was reading a novel at some point while talking to her. That's how involved I was in the plot lmao.

The game music after the night event at home was wonderful btw, listened to it for a fair while because of how soothing it was.

Are you working on the MC's avatar, any ideas so far. I'm so curious as to what I'm playing as. Just inquiring.

Amazing job as always Cactus. It's going to be painful waiting for each update lmao. (not in a bad way, but just because I love the game so far very much)

Thank you so much for all the kind words, it really motivates me to keep working hard on the game :)

In the few scenes where you catch a glimpse of the MC, he's a very normal looking guy with black hair. In games like this, I like to leave it as 'self-insert' as possible, which is why he doesn't have a defined look.

Maybe in the future if more people want to have a concrete MC character design, I will make one, but for now you can just think of yourself or whatever you like :)

Self insert MC is honestly not a bad idea, I like the idea.

But what about the MC speech bubbles, will they be left as is for now, or are you planning for a very simplistic character sprite?

Hi, I was playing around with maybe just like a silhouette that appears? I may run a poll on my Patreon about this now that you mention it...

Oh i see! I've never used patreon. But I'll check it out for this game. :)

Personally I agree with you and prefer that he stay less defined, appearance-wise. Even when small aspects of customization are added, it's usually not enough to feel like 'me' due to the amount of work it would take and thus we end up seeing them everywhere with something only vaguely resembling our own preferences, which is annoying. I prefer that the MC remain exactly as 'anonymous' and hardly ever shown on screen as they already are, for maximum self-insert immersion. And in that vein even if you were to give us fully customisable MC, all that would do is take away from the time you have to give us more of this amazing game. It's one of those things where I think either have fully integrated customization which is great, or not at all and keep MCs appearance as 'up to your imagination', as possible. Which in the case of a still developing game is I'd say the best way to go about it, at least for the time being. Like the only time I really want to see his face is in special moments like if he's being kissed, or using his mouth for something. And you've already done an amazing job of making him feel more like 'us' than a separate character.
