For the VN password I stopped playing when they took away the option to rename the MC because in the comments they said they made the decision because the players where idiot's and that rubbed me the wrong way. The writer for password also seemed to really want to push the MC towards one character in particular. There are 2 things I look for on a VN but 1 a good story and 2 a well written but BLANK MC I like to insert myself in to this world being able to name the MC is a good way to do that. After all I'm the one making the choices. Also I have played a few VNs with more diverse cast in it and I found that in a lot of them the MC ends up "Thinking things" without my input. I'm gay and I want any MC I play as to be the same so if the VN I'm playing has female or other genders I don't like it when the MC starts saying things like "wow that girl over is super hot I would like to bang her." That just takes me out of it. Like I said above I like when the MC is the player and not just another character in this story. It's not completely bad if it's not but thos is just something I look for in VN. This is actually why I'm enjoying Minotaur Hotel so much I'm not just some other character I'm myself and I can make choices That I would make if this where actually me.

Erm you are very wrong about the password stuff, the character was given a fixed name simply as a creative desicion not because he thought players where idiots. The only comment grizz ever made that was about intelligence was after a large amount of people couldn't find their way passed bensons route and he couldnt see how when so many people could get passed it, so he refered to some people being 'lizard brained'.
that's not the comment I remember but it doesn't change the fact he dose think some of his players are "unintelligent". As for the benson problem I can understand why people where getting stuck there for those passwords the rules of the game suddenly changed without warning unless you knew to look for a password else where it looks like the end of the game. Wile other passwords where pointed out to you in letters these passwords where hidden in the dialog other characters say. That's not the players fault in my opinion.
Regardless I don't follow this project anymore and it's been a wile since I have so maybe I remembered it wrong. Even without all this stuff that happened I'm not a fan of VNs that make you play all the routes to get a true ending. I would rather play a VN with 1 or 2 characters I like and then move on to the next one.
