Thanks for giving the free version a try and for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback!
I'm glad you enjoyed the concept. A lot of what you mentioned is already on my radar. The game is still in active development, so polish and expanding gameplay systems are a major focus moving forward.
Since you're playing the free version, it's worth mentioning that it's a few versions behind the current build. Performance has improved quite a bit since then. The latest version runs smoothly at 4K on RTX 4070-class hardware and above, so your RTX 5060 shouldn't have any trouble with the current release.
A vehicle recall/respawn feature has been requested a few times now, so that's something I'll likely add in a future update.
Skipping NPC dialogue is a bit more complicated because every NPC response is generated by AI in real time rather than being prewritten. It's something I'd like to improve, but it isn't as simple as adding a traditional dialogue skip button.
I also like your ideas for giving NPCs more ways to interact with the world. Expanding routines and allowing AI characters to perform activities like showering, changing clothes, and other daily actions is very much the direction I want to take the game.
And thanks for the offer to test! I really appreciate it. I'll definitely be looking for more testers as development progresses. Hopefully when you check back after a few more updates, you'll see the game in a much stronger state.
