Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 8! My name's Hythrain, a co-host and one of the streamers for this event! This feedback is being written live as I stream your game! If you're interested in seeing my live reaction, let me know and I can send you a link to the VOD once it's posted to YouTube!

So my normal approach for any game in these events is simple: I get the game, make sure it's not a virus, then play it with as little information on how to play as possible. This way, I can judge how intuitively someone can figure out the game. Only if it's obvious that I need to read more will I do so. I note this so you can get a sense where some of these feedback comes from. In addition, I want to note that feedback and rating are different; don't use this feedback to gauge what I'll rate, nor should you view my rating as entirely indicative of my feedback.

This was such a cute game. I was so sad when it just suddenly ended. I'm not even into yaoi stuff but I was interested to see how this develops.

As a visual novel, it's really hard to give feedback as the primary element of any visual novel is its story. It takes a lot more before that sort of feedback can be given. So instead, I put my focus towards the script and trying to find any spelling or grammatical errors. There were a few here, so hopefully this list will help out.

1. "So. Can I ask how do you know this spot? It's the first time I get company here."
Change this to: "So, can I ask how you know this spot? It's the first time I've had company here."
This will make the sentence more casual and more grammatically correct.

2. "... but I thought you were either dating or really best friends."
Change the last part to either: "or really good friends" or " or best friends"
The reason why is you don't need to include "really" when describing best friends.

3. "You know what kind of questions comes next."
Remove the S at the end of comes. Since "questions" is a plural, you don't need the s for come. If it was singular, you would.

4. "I do pastries as a side hustle too sometimes."
Change to: "I do pastries as a side hustle, too."
Don't need the "sometimes" on there, and there should be a comma before the "too."

5. "Your remember the last conversation you've had with your mom."
Change to: "You remember the last conversation you had with your mom."
Not only was there a typo in the first word (your instead of you), but since this statement is in past tense (compared to the correction in #1, which is present tense) you don't need to include "have" in here, which you had contracted down to 've.

6. "Your sister and Alisa's mothers..." - This may not be a typo, I just want to confirm if "mothers" is supposed to be plural, aka Alisa had two mothers. If yes, ignore. If no, that S has gotta go.

This was all the stuff I caught. Hope this helps! Have a good one!

P.S. OLD MEN?! YOU CALL THESE TWO OLD MEN?! THEY'RE, WHAT, NOT EVEN 40 YEARS OLD! THAT'S NOT OLD!

Hiii, I momentarily escape the Spooktober Jam mines to respond here!

Honestly I’m shocked you played my game this early, I thought you wouldn’t have time to get to it before the end 😭 But I’m glad if you found the game cute, that’s sort of half the objective since I’m aiming for “cute, cozy melancholy”. And if you’re sad it ended early I’m extra happy 😈 Don’t worry though, as I said in my devlog the whole thing is outlined, it’s my little passion project and I don’t plan on giving it up!

Aaaand yeah, english isn’t my first language, I’m working alone on this, so this was to be expected though I’m really cringing at the “You/Your” mistake. 😭

Yes, Alisa had two mothers. When you said “I x your mom” she got to respond “Oh? Which one?” it was really funny. All of the mommy (and daddy) issues will be explored in the sequel (I didn’t stutter, no).

And lastly you make a nice point. In consequence, after Boris says “it’s been over twenty years” I’ve decided to add a tiny bit of narration to be more precise: “Closer to thirty, actually.” They are indeed somewhere in their 40s đŸ«ą the awkward spot where you’re not a boy but you’re not that old either. I feel a bit weird calling this story Boy’s Love and I just think the phrase Old Man Yaoi is super funny and stands out a bit more 😉

I wasn't sure I was going to either but after I decided to start doing two 5 hour streams a day if enough donations came in, a bunch of folks made sure I did just enough of them.

Also, my whole old man rant was because I'm 40. >_>
