Interesting concept, I like this. Now I curious why this can happen to them. I must say voice actor is really good too.
In bathroom scene I think it stuck, but just too long and there is no indicator it is running, may be add some text like "(showering)" in chat box will be help. And there is too many button below chat box, I think it better limit it into 7 max and move the least important into menu
Thanks so much for checking it out and taking the time to leave feedback :3 I'm glad you liked it! I'll let the voice actors know too :D
A few people have said similar things about the bathroom shower scene, haha. I actually made it like that on purpose x3 I wanted it to last the duration of the SFX (approx 20 seconds) mainly because I listen to a lot of audio dramas and they do that sort of thing in those. For me personally, when I come across stuff like that in audio dramas, I like it cos for me it increases immersion, but I can totally see how it would be frustrating for people playing a game + might come across as a bug, so I will change that when the jam is over :3
Originally, I was just gonna make this as an audio drama with art and no text at all. Then a few days in, I decided that I would have text after all, cos if there's no text then anyone with a hearing impairment would have no idea what's going on if it's audio-only.
As for the UI buttons at the bottom, I agree! :3 Sadly, there's not much I can do about that :( I'm using Tyranobuilder because I'm not a programmer, and since the jam was quite short, I didn't make the UI from scratch. I used GIMP + ComiPo to edit the appearance of one of Tyrano's UI templates, which means I can't remove any of the buttons. I can take away the image of a button, but the button itself would still be there and function if someone accidentally clicked there x3 Editing the UI appearance took me quite a few hours, so there definitely wasn't time for me to make a UI from scratch that looks better. I might be able to spend more time to change it after the jam though :D
I'm really glad that I decided to include text in the end then :3 I wanted as many people as possible to be able to enjoy it, and I guess without the text some people might miss out. My best friend doesn't have a hearing impairment, but he always puts subtitles on movies + TV shows cos he has some problems with his throat/coughing, which means he sometimes can't hear everything being said.
I suppose when the jam is over, I could try to add the option for people to select if they want text or not so that they have a choice instead of just one or the other :3
