Hi! Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it and are hooked on the story.
Regarding the screen reader getting cut off, I will definitely investigate it. It is a bit strange because the game actually uses your device's built-in system narrator rather than a custom game voice, but I will look into what might be causing those interruptions in the engine.
I completely understand what you mean about the pings. That feature is actually designed with future real voice acting in mind. Once we have real voice actors for the characters, I will be able to time the audio files perfectly so the ping happens exactly when the dialogue ends. Right now, because the system narrator reads at different speeds depending on the user's OS settings, the game engine can't accurately predict when it finishes reading a line.
For now, we are going to focus on polishing these first few chapters, and then we will continue developing the upcoming ones. You can find all the news and progress updates on our official website!
Thank you so much again for your amazing feedback!
