Ah shoot! I know I should have put the tutorial at the end of the game instead!
I’m glad this story tackled the childhood friends trope in a way you enjoyed and that you found Peter and Amanda relatable! It was honestly their point (although both are relatable in a different way, but I guess even them see a bit of themselves in each other)!
And, oh my god, I’m so happy somebody noticed for the name of the classmates!! I wanted to make it clear having them named “Classmate 1” or “Bully” was a choice, even though the characters actually had names (I usually go the opposite direction, cf. HSL naming the headmaster “Joshua Hudson”).
And it was the point of the more similar choices indeed! Peter enjoys clear communication so you have to be clear about Amanda’s feelings to earn points (while being confused will comfort him into friendship rather than love).
And thank you for commenting on the animation, the GUI etc. I did think a lot about it and was quite unsure about the GUI since it really is out of my comfort zone but since everyone feels satisfied with it, I’m kinda happy too then, haha! And yes, the music was really important in this game, and the composer is really extremely talented!!!!
And glad it didn’t disappoint! I like to call Peter the “evergreen flag”, I feel like it fits the game, haha! And I’m very happy you had a great experience with the game, thank you so much!
