Howdy it's me again.
I wanna address the gameplay currently out for the public, and what needs improvement while also giving some suggestions!
Current Gameplay:
Positives:
1. Excellent gameplay, love how you can interact with SOME of the girls to have fun.
2. Love the keycards update in your inventory. Wish there were other ways to gain access to lockers when you don't have the keycard.
3. Love how big the game is and how you can explore.
========================================================================
Negatives:
1. Too many areas to softlock yourself.
2. Cold storage keycard is not required to get into the cold storage area. (At the beginning of the area.)
3. Ton of bugs/glitches overall when trying to play the game unless you fiddle with your graphics.
4. Game is not loading your previous save/taking to long/black screen but able to use your flashlight and phone.

New content suggestions:
Companion Levels:
While yes you are exploring the pizzalab complex to find out what happened, you can recruit the girls to help you. I wish there was also a friendship level with negative and positive levels. The more negative your friendship is with the girls, the less they are willing to help you UNLESS it's a scripted event. The more positive it is, then the more they are willing to help you with.
Lets take Ruby for example: Don't know where her helping you will come into play, but most likely to move that arcade machine she chucked at you the first time you meet her in the arcade so you can see what's behind that door. The more negative your relationship is between you and her, the less willing she is gonna help you. The more positive, she will more than gladly will move the arcade machine.
As the game comes out more and more, all the main girls you meet that would normally hunt you, if you get friendly with ALL of them, you get a special ending.
Also, the more positively friendly you are with them, the more they are willing to follow you and help you instead of, ya know, kicking your balls in. Like how Bonbon followed you in the basement/pits. However, if your friendship level is not high enough for them, they won't follow you and will continue to do their own thing.
Last thing about the companion levels:
They have their own secret ending after you beat the game depending on how you treat them. Like when you beat the full game when you have one girl at max friendship, you can potentially find them at the entrance begging you to take them with ya since you grew so close to them, despite them being a robot.
I would LOVE to see this implemented as it will CHANGE how things work. But to nerf how op this will be, IF they have access to an area that you don't yet, they can open it up if they are with you (if you have a high enough friendship for them to follow you).
They can also find you useful things from time to time, but the probability rate of that happening MUST start low until you get them to max friendship.
Phone:
The phone can be used to track your friendship stats with you and the girls. Like, when you open it, have the normal two widgets (The hack tool and object finder) on the main screen, but have a interactable one that opens the girls friendship stats.
It will also show that as you meet the girls, it will show if they are hostile to you, neutral, or friendly with you.

I love this game already and want to see it improve. Adding this will change everything.
