Really enjoyable game; You do have some bugs and typos. your ml2 5 portrait isn't in it, and bunch of others. You also have a few dead ends where you can't progress, but ironically because there is something wrong with your inventory/appearance menus, you can use those to get untrapped but I feel like that is sequence breaking something pretty badly.
I really like this game though, really hope you keep going with it and finish this.
EDIT: There is one big petpeeve I have; For when you're initially male, the dark blue text color on black is VERY hard to read, at least for me. Please switch it to a lighter blue. I know you probably don't want it too bright to hurt people's eyes, but when its that dark, its a struggle to read it. Try either: #93A5FF or #A3B8CC Also you have some code slipping into your passage when you interact with the rocking horse.
EDIT 2: Just a suggestion of a route/something I'd like to see is if you give Jude the security card, if your relationship isn't high enough with her, she might double cross you and set you up/get you in trouble. Sorry for the unsolicited suggestion, just think that would be in character for her and add more layers to things that can happen

Thank you for your kind words and feedback, I'm going to look into all the issues (I never made the ml2 5 portrait because I thought it was a practically unobtainable state, guess not). I like the Jude idea. The game monitors personal state on more levels than just affection for jude, so I think this could be a nice angle to her interactions with you.
Spoiler Warning: this is for the Dev so they know how I got to the state that should've been "unobtainable" and actually a lot more than that since like I said, there was quite a broken images towards the end of my game:

Just to let you know, I had a quite long gameplay loop, I got really far to the point where the girlfriend was kinda helping me get out of the facility but wound up not doing it because she liked what was happening to me in the end. I went to the point where they were talking about natural release (which they kept making excuses to put off, my girlfriend mentioned her car breaking down the day she was supposed to take me home, and that happened to be the day my mental strength hit zero. I was extremely agreeable most of the game (also for the record, that's also a bit of a bug because a lot of Modder's interactions and even the director seem to act as if I was unruly/fighting against it.) You can last quite a long time if you don't resist anything, be completely honest with your girlfriend and just go about your day without causing trouble.
Thanks. I'll do a fix for all the bugs first and than I'll start looking at the narrative inconsistencies. There is a lot of niche micro interactions in the game with the idea that it should feel narratively somewhat consistent, so it is an important focus for me. And any support will be greatly appreciated. I'm still looking for an artist and if enough people support it, I can commission some art for the game as well.
Sorry, this is just an attempt to be helpful; Some of the bugs off the top of my head I noticed:
-frequently your underwear items don't match what it says you're wearing (i.e. they will put you pull ups but your status says you're wearing boxers)
-When you go to the inventory/observe/etc. stuff it can get you out of a dead passage, but that means its returning you somewhere that's not where the player was which can be causing tons of issues with the sequence breaks. One of the times it broke my game really bad where Madaline was supposed to reward me, we went to watch a movie, I selected blanket, went to dead passage, I tried doing inventory, return and it kept resetting to the beginning of the "reward"/deal section with her, but then the buttons at the bottom of the page didn't work at all, just completely ended the game there.
-The nurses will comment on you being dirty/causing messes when you haven't actually done anything, again I suspect it has something to do with the underwear situation. Also the dry chart/gold stars is a bit unreliable with tracking.
-If you stress relief to the point where "you can only be interested when you're padded", even if you wear the double it doesn't work.
-when you back out of a conversation with Jude, John, nurses, like go into a choice that has nothing to do (like give them an item) it boots you back to on the map.
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Good luck o/
