OH MY GOD, how did I only JUST notice you already put this up on Steam?? I'M SO EXCITED!!! It's crazy seeing how far you've come from those first few chapters to now being this close to releasing the whole thing! I can't wait to purchase the game when it releases!! >_<

Just to expand just a tad further on our character's mother, Salyra (SORRY, I LOVE RANTING ABOUT HER), I'm wondering if you intentionally wrote her as narcissistic, because the more I read her scenes, the more her narcissistic tendencies stand out.
This only came to me because I was talking (yapping, actually) to my friend about this story a few days ago in hopes it'd get her into IFs, and since she studies psychology, she pointed out that the mother's behavior seems a bit narcissistic.
I think it's actually very interesting if you had written it intentionally because she, deep down, seems to be trying her best in her own twisted way.

Anyways, I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I ADORE your writing. This IF is slowly torturing me... It's got me on chokehold.
This is absolutely ADORABLE. I love the different base doll options and how diverse they are, especially the different facial expressions. It really shows how each individual doll has a certain personality/demeanor... plus the number of different clothing options we can choose to dress them up is deadass crazy!
Returned to this IF after a little over two years, and I'm honestly amazed all over again.
Star-struck.
Bamboozled.
The characters feel layered and real, the conflicts cut deep, and every replay brings out a new piece of info that I, like, missed the first few times. INCREDIBLE writing.
SPOILERS below:
I might ramble A BIT here, but the writing struck such a nerve with me in the BEST way possible. Salyra made me absolutely furious, BUT that's exactly what makes her so well written. Everyone in this story feels layered and human, which is one of the biggest reasons I adore this IF. Salyra, though, is the kind of complex that leaves me torn between admiration and frustration </3
She acts in ways she ACTUALLY BELIEVES are in our character's best interest. She's trying, she's made mistakes, and she thinks she's protecting us. But then she goes through our character's belongings, excusing it with, "I want to know who you've become" and that LITERALLY boils my blood. I like to think of myself as forgiving, but if I put myself in my character's shoes, that kind of intrusion is something I genuinely can't excuse.
imo, it's so heartbreaking. The tenderness she shows toward Rana makes it clear she wants to be the kind of mother she never really was to our character. She's trying to do better, and that complexity makes her all the more fascinating. From my perspective, I can almost sympathize with her. But again, from my character's point of view, no matter how much they try to be understanding, it still leaves a bitter taste because Rana represents everything they should have had.

ANYWAYS, I love a bit of angst, which is probably why my character leans toward a more apprehensive relationship with her mother. And again... LOVE the writing. I can't wait for the full game to be released! Please remember to take regular water breaks too!!
I’ve been following this IF for 3 years now and it never fails to amaze me. I replay it all the time and even after dozens of restarts, I still stumble across new branches and moments I hadn’t seen before. The amount of detail and care put into the choices, characters, and worldbuilding is just wild, it really makes every playthrough feel unique. Honestly, it’s one of the few stories I can always come back to, and it keeps setting the bar higher each time. And recently I FINALLY gave N’s route a proper try even though I wasn’t originally that into them, and now I’m completely hooked. I love them so much. MY SHAYLA. I can't believe I didn't give them a chance and always chose the others over N. I don't think I can play any other route than theirs now </3
