Ack, this is such a nice comment! Thank you so much, Good Ghost, for taking a chance on the demo. I'll admit to worries about including too many options, so hearing that you enjoy their presence and it adds to your immersion is wonderful feedback. ♡ (The UI also went through many iterations early this year which, happily, led to this current version).

As for an opportunity to sort it all out - all I can say without spoilers is that a few different endings are outlined, each with variations depending on your choices, of course - and one of them may just be what your MC is striving for.

Best of luck!

And thank you for the initial 5 stars, that's incredibly generous. I'll do my best to ensure the following chapters live up to your rating. ⸜(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)⸝

Hey good to see your reply, and it is absolutely fine if you take a week or so to reach back. I try to leave comments in majority of the games i played (just to give feedback or to show gratitude) and you are one of the few devs who actually responds with care and passion. I do appreciate such gesture.

Even though I love having so many choices, now that I have had time to think about it, it might get complicated in the future so hope you have a plan for that.

If you need anyone to proofread or help you overcome that writers block, feel free to let me know and I'll drop my mail ID for you. (Dw, i wont leak stuff, i respect good writing)

Sorry if this reply is too long you must be busy, either way thanks for making this game and as usual take care.

Trial and error continues as the story progresses, and I suspect / fear every chapter will teach me something about possibilities and limitations! Future chapters may have fewer choices, or even more... probably not more.

But who knows?

That's a kind and generous policy of commentary! Sharing thoughts takes both time and mental space, so I'm aware that it's no small thing to offer. This is why I also make a habit of replying whenever possible: I do care about your experience, and am passionate about this project!

At the moment, I (sadly) can only process feedback from a few individuals at a time, but the offer is noted and appreciated! I'm always looking for outside opinions that might benefit the story. In a more general sense, additional beta readers will be necessary in the future - possibly through applications. Unclear at this point. No obligation but if you are interested then, feel free to let me know.

I usually link playtesters to the alpha version through discord DMs.
