I have played dozens if not hundreds of visual novels. The only kind I dislike are kinetic novels with no choices. I dislike them because being able to branch the game and have an effect as well as making the main character more mine is a huge part of why I like the genre. I have played visual novels that last five minutes up to those that last a couple dozen hours and I have enjoyed both. I don't care whether a game is short or long so long as it is good. It's tough to list one favourite visual novel but some of my favourites would be The Falconers: Moonlight, Buried: An Interactive Story, The Mind’s Eclipse, Emily is Away, and The Last Birdling.
I'm just a customer. I like that Itch has DRM free options for games. I like that the Itch client is FOSS. I like that the store pages give the option to list details such as the engine used. I like that I can download the game files stand alone without using a client.
I wish that the notifications for game updates were easier to find. For example on GOG when I look at my game list for games I own it tells me which ones have had updates since I last downloaded the files. I also wish that Itch would do a better job moderating developers that falsely advertise their game. For instance some list a Linux version but when I go to download the game it only has a Windows version and even after reporting this the game is still for sale advertising a Linux version. Lastly I wish that reviews were public for all not just developers and those who follow me.
The game doesn't launch for me on Linux. I tried through the Itch app as well as downloading it on it's own. When I run it through Terminal the error I get is:
"error while loading shared libraries: UnityPlayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

The first two weeks listed Linux support but Week Three only lists Windows. Is there a Linux executable that downloads with the Windows .exe ? I have found in many games that are made with Ren'Py that even if they list just Windows there is a .sh file in the folder as well. It just would be nice to not spend $20 USD to find out i'm wrong in this case.
So I have some good news and bad news. Good news is I have since upgraded my CPU from the i7-6700 to an i5-12600K and now the frame rate issues are fixed. Even on ultra settings at 2560*1440 it didn't drop below 60 FPS. The bad news is that now if I set the graphics above "Low" the screen flickers constantly.

I see what you mean. In that case perhaps what would make it easier for people like myself is to have release status on the left hand side of the main store page with the other options. As it is to sort by released I would have to manually go to the directory you linked or find a released game and click the status on the store page.
I searched a few keywords and didn't find this idea so my apologies if it has already been brought up. I would love it if I could filter the Itch store to only show me games that are released and hiding those that are in early access. If i'm mistaken and this is already possible i'd love to know how.
