The final choice of the game, here is what I thought.

I could use the resources of the government to keep as many people as I can alive. Sacrifice my morals for a chance to keep folks homed.

Or, I could stand on the moral high ground and continue to play life on a coin flip that things will work out. 

If the game ran a little more, I wonder if the people in the hotel will lose trust in me, lose morale after choosing honor over resources. Who knows? Well, you do. And that's what I like about your stories. They are haunting in what I don't know, what I do know, what the world is like, and what it could be.

You keep surprising me with how wonderfully terrifying your stories are. From the last time you get to see your best friend, to the safety of Hedghog's kids. I would not let anyone into the hotel if they even posed the slightest threat to those kids.

You showed a great way how the media is manipulated without us, the player, nessicarliy falling for it, just that there does exist a large portion of people far away from the area of effect that think of people as monsters; successfully redirecting the focus away from the people who caused harm.

History has shown that if you want the people to not do crime you can give them "bread and circus" (distraction by entertainment), or fund projects to keep their community safe and connected. That is to say, yes, the government in this situation could have done more, could have done better, but focused more on the threat of war and covering up their mistakes.

You showed how the sickness does change you mentally, and that is scary, but it does not change you too far from who your true self was; a friend, a protector, a father, a mother, a child. The worst direct effect is the painful and usually nonconsensual method the transformation travels. 

If I were to die, I would give the responsibility to protect the inhabitants of the hotel to the one furry who did not betray me. I would have liked to have sent the canned food family to my best friend, who is already infected, and can house the bear's kids.

:)

That was funny and awesome. Every page was art.

I like this. Each choice feels very unclear on what it means in the present or for the future. You really have to understand what is being told to you, or be very creative in what each word is trying to say.

Do I want to attack now while we are still in recovery? This may stall a future attack from the enemy.

Or do I want to stay peaceful to not risk retaliation? This may stall enough time for us to recover.

Not to be harsh, but that was very not smart of the General. Getting rid of the few people who understand the statistics of the serum that was being studied? Which, as she said, under some circumstances, can be very bad for all people involved. 

Then she gave these people just an unknown dose of serum to... I don't know watch? Watch without proper knowledge on how to do a health inspection?

I mean, the process already comes with one person just getting sick within minutes. What happens if that's the same with all the other 50 people? Just a lot of vomit and paperwork and loss of real research time.

That was beautiful. I have my regrets about the food, but I think I did the best I could without knowing what was coming next.

I ACTUALLY NAMED MYSELF "COFFEE" AND ACTUALLY HAD A RESPONSE! YAY!

Also, I do just like the name Coffee, so, nyeh.

Any other names with responses?

I REMEBER THIS GAME! Gosh. So many people I know wanted to play this. I wonder if I still have them on my contacts list.

Tad confusing, but fun over all. Good job!

Pet to the end

I like it, very expressive, very sad, but, can someone explain a tad further?

Oh, maybe an expansion; full of potential. 

So far, yeah, pretty big fan of Toast.

Poor kid. I was hoping to at least let them take a nap. Take some food and stuff for the road.

Well, one more thing. During Toast's route, the only route I played so far, I did notice some lore dumps here and there; the kind that make you step back and ask if you were already told or hinted of that existing. 

Not a deal breaker, just stood out is all.

I don't know how I feel about the references.

I wanted to respect Vendrake, thinking he had "some" reasoning in his coldness- There really isn't. 

I think he has to die. 

I choose the Toast route AS A JOKE! I wasn't expecting to be so captivated and defending this man till the bitter end ;w;

Honestly, Kubo had his problems, but the work environment wasn't helping him at all, After 5 years you'll think a shouting match wouldn't be needed to remove chocolate from a vending machine, but, there they were. 

Then, he flourished under a good working environment. It wasn't perfect, messes and chaos still occurred, and the team didn't always agree, but the job was done effectively. Unlike a sudden spike in incidents happening in the Underworld. 

Got to say, I love how we found out about the previous war between Up Above and the Under World. Lives we lost, the pain still lingers, and scars haven't healed. It was wonderful and tragic and pretty real

I love how the comedy and seriousness blend so well. It feels like something that would happen if an Angel, Exorcist, Ghost, and Demon Lord had to come together and grow a close bond. Haha! It's tragic how even the supernatural feel depressed, put at the limits of wanting to be loved, giving up on life, and holding onto strong emotions they don't even know why they hold.

Also, I love Civ Vallen's music! Especially 'My Angelic Duty'. I use most of the songs to study.

Very good. I like the stand ins, makes it feel cute and charming. I know you said there will be violence and NSFW later, but for what is here right now, it's good! 

Still, there are some text issues. "//" some of these.

yay

Just downloaded. I know it's gonna be great!

Yay to go Super Star!

Got to get this off my chest, I got so uncomfortably mad that the trivia game was rigged. Like, I knew two answers, and lost to technicality. I loved exploring the place to learn more about the mansion, and I got betrayed by that love.

how do I collect stone? Sometimes I break stone, sometimes I can't, no time has breaking stone lead to collecting stone.

Sweet

I love my little guy.

I feel so in love with my little goat pal, I was mad when goat pal came home stressed than normal.

I know know what mothers feel when their little ones come back home sad.

After getting the notes to CC, the chef appears in the cafeteria. Talk to him, and he will give you a hammer. Use the hammer to get rid of Melvin's privacy (aka, you open his locker).

I really did like Fred's route. It was fun!

For the ghost, before grabbing the blue book in the library, have that character grab a picture of someone that looks just like him from the bedroom. Should be in the next room over. On a small table by a bed.

I did. Get to the end, upper attic, and click on the candles with Dave. Then get Hector up there to mention having lime for the circle. Keep clicking around till something happens. 

I think it was my fault for getting gets WAY out of order that stuff didn't make sense anymore. You can get the lime early in the game, but I didn't get it because I didn't click the lock right were its accepted. 

Oh! Thank you. I was worried. 

Also- In one part of the story, did you mean "Turn off" or "Turn on"? For sexual power?

is there twitter down, or...

What is the bag of limes for? I was given a book, but no idea how to read it.

I seen all the ghost. They are cool. Lol

nice and cozy

Sure! I'll love to play again. I'll share this game as best as I can.

Huh. I thought the Hell No option would circle back to the party, but instead of going their because you want it party, it would be because you want to SURVIVE. 

But yeah, I get why the fake out was there. Mc WANTS to get out of their shell. Using the excuse of SURVIVAL would be... a different feeling. 

LOVE the writing, but there are some grammar, spelling, and formatting errors(which I guess is grammar too?).

Least favorite character right now: Sherry (laughed at the common misunderstanding of Social Anxiety and shyness. It's a classic :) )

This is REALLY good. Keep it up. Any other ways we can support your work? Can't do patreon right now.

came here from youtube. glad to be here. 

Would most stuff be in the Lexicon?

Is there a place I can see the lore of the game? Like, the many names of the towns, the three religious armies, and more.
