Thank you for the very thorough feedback. Glad you like the creepy art style.
We're doing a lot of reworking right now. So your suggestion about the visual explanation, music/sfx, the grammar/dialog, jumpscare, and build up is appreciated.
On the fill-in-the-blank mechanic: totally fair. Right now it's more of a narrative/interactive beat than a mechanic with stakes. But you're not wrong. We still need to make sure the choice in this game matters.
About the option setting disappearing, yeah, it's still buggy. We need to fix this.
Thanks again for playing our game and for such a constructive write-up. It genuinely helps shape where we take this next.
