Hello! 🌸 Thanks so much for the feedback! Don't worry, it didn't come off as mean at all! I completely understand how this may have made you break immersion, it's true that this could make the MC look a bit spineless whxgwhd 💦

When I started writing this game, MC's "put off/realistic" choices actually had more impact (for instance, if they didn't want to eat anything, then they really didn't eat anything). The reason why I changed it to the way it is now is because I wanted to give a different kind of feeling. A feeling similar to being trapped because Crowe can be a really manipulative person (this is why I also added to the TW the thing about emotional abuse). A lot of the times when MC tries to be realistic, or is even put off by Crowe's actions, he will make comments that will make MC take a step back and change their mind because of guilt. I understand it probably won't be everyone's cup of tea, but rest assured that the different types of choices will result in 3 different endings 💪

Thank you for giving the game a chance! I'm glad you still enjoyed it 🥰

Hi!! Thank you so much for your response :D !!

I did pick up on the fact that Crowe was intended to be emotionally manipulative, but it still feels rather unnatural/jarring/spineless for the MC to change their mind just because Crowe acts sad and makes them feel bad 😭😭 I feel like more obvious attempts at manipulation only work if the player can believe they’d successfully be manipulated by them ?? Hence why I suggested more subtle forms of manipulation that don’t take away player agency, or a more gradual progression that makes taking away player agency more powerful, or perhaps more choices that allow the MC to react to Crowe (or perhaps allowing the MC to realise that something is wrong after a lot of successful manipulation attempts) ??

I’m glad to see that the story will branch after the demo, and I hope you don’t mind my suggestions (ofc you can feel free to disregard them)!! I’m a writer myself, and for some reason, I tend to be more critical towards works I enjoy TwT .. So yes, I definitely did enjoy it, and I think the full game will be quite amazing c: !!
