I think this game is confusing, not a bad game just a bit confusing. I rate it a 5/10 so far. I think there needs to be a bit more substance in the beginning, like the first dialogue should've been something about how we are waking up with injuries. We have too many options initially which felt very overwhelming with no explanation to what the "Anxiety" and "Awareness" bars are or why they matter. The feeding minigame has no explanation and if you keep clicking on the bar you'll eventually get it 5/5. I know that the doctor is a yandere but the way I played this story I woke up, grabbed all items in the house including the knife, went to work, tried walking to pharmacy, and then got hit by a car. The only interaction I've had with Evren was giving him black coffee, but suddenly he is our primary doctor in this hospital and by the end of the day despite our character JUST meeting him we have the option to kiss him. Now, Idk if you guys kiss your doctors but I SURE DONT. and shouldn't there be other staff??? like does nobody see this doctor literally laying in my bed. And honestly I wouldn't have minded if this WAS that bizarre, but the way it was written felt like I was missing story parts that I didn't read/interact with. What about our job? Like did we instantly get fired from being hit by a car like???? If the doctor had been stalking us and from what I assume is injecting us with some sort of depressant at night, HE hits us with his car, then takes us to his place because he is a medical professional where he locks us somewhere in his house, I felt like that bizarre interaction where he's laying with us would make sense. But from my view point I gave this guy coffee one time, I know nothing in a way where it feels like I'm not SUPPOSED to feel this confused about the story. If we suffered from brain trauma, amnesia, ptsd, or some other form of memory altering and that was told to us(the player) in the beginning that would've allowed for way more in the story and added a fear element within the characters AROUND us. The doctor could take advantage of us and try to alter our perception, but no? I wake up in the hospital, I walk around, I get a weird dream, then I get fed, and Evern talks with us and this doesn't feel super integral to the plot. I'll continue to play more, and I believe having a plot that is followable will truly bring this game to the potential it has. Because I can tell the creator cares about this game, the art is good, the videos were a different element I haven't seen before, the voices and characters are compelling on their own. But my biggest critique is that when creators make something everything is obvious to THEM but its not obvious to the player, so when I played this I felt lost in a way where it didn't feel like that was the intention. anyway evern sexy asf tho #ride
