Hi! Thank you so much for this in-depth review :)
1. You are right, there isn’t much sound design after the bus scene. This isn‘t a bug, I just haven‘t found any fitting music yet. I‘d like to have a custom soundtrack for the finished game, but since music‘s the only thing I can‘t do myself it‘s a little bit trickier. Right now I don‘t have the means to pay a composer, but hopefully I will eventually! Maybe I‘ll look for placeholder music in meantime. (Also sorry for scaring the s*** out of you, haha)
2. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I‘ll definitely look into it! It seems like the mailbox was buggy for a few people.
3. The character pronouns are a good idea! I‘ll tweak the profiles in the next bigger update.
Thank you again and I‘m happy you enjoyed this first alpha :)
