I like the idea and I do occasionally play some dialog tactics based games like Citizen Sleeper :) I think you got the good amount core game mechanism diensions like and potential depth, like the 4 basic operations based on the reactions. I wish the hints can stay slightly longer than a blink and made more noticeable. Also is there any logic or pattern how each hint pops up or are they completely random? Overall good job guys! Wish to see more.

Thank you, Antares. I saw your entry for GMTK 2025 - awesome, as someone who developed a tactical game what you wrote is that much more meaningful!
Interesting that you mention Citizen Sleeper - I have heard the developer behind it literally state that they don't like dialog. For me dialog is everything - as Disco Elysium aptly demonstrated. Maybe you find some similarity because it's also inspired by tabletop RPGs?
Right, I understand about the hints - I can add how long it stays before disappearing as a setting.
Currently the hints are random. Because they reflect needs they can become semi deterministic.
I am preparing an update after the voting period - fixes, more content, new mechanics. Stay tuned!
