okay so basically ignore all of that, the whole folder move it to the bin then take it out again and you should be good!

It was the stupidest thing ever but it was quite prominent, and people said the game was good but the creator was a bad person (which was like huhhh??). People were saying she was fetishising black men (which, from a black girl, was SUCH a reach i was flabbergasted) and then there was something about Michah's va being involved in a somewhat sketchy game previously. All of it really had me wondering if people were being fr bc theres no way thats it, but they were and a lot of people dislike her.

I don't have an issue with people creating for likes, and i'm the biggest advocate for the idea that creating for money/ratings doesn't make you less respectable than people who create for passion alone. I myself adore writing in general, but as a ff author am very transparent with my readers that I post for validation and would love a comment lmao! I will never criticise wanting reviews, however the writer in me can never defend sacrificing your narrative for the sake of ratings.

Nothing else to add in particular other than i completely agree with you!! Will still check out and support future works, but it was a shame how this ended, especially since it had such a high quality start </3

oml you might've logged out before the full cutscene then. Look up a playthrough and skip to the end to see the deal with the cat!

Despite that though I still feel like it came out of nowhere. The s*icide was a shock but it made somewhat sense with the flow of the story, but the stabbing felt like a really rushed idea that didn't follow the direction the plot was going at all. Felt like more out of place than just the shock factor of the first ending. Didn't love it- I'd hoped for something more if i'm honest but nonetheless i appreciate the effort that went into making the game!

I read this comment after getting the first ending twice and I thought it was unnecessarily harsh until i watched a playthrough and saw what the other ending was meant to be...bad taste is the understatement of the century! The blatant rating farming really rubbed me the wrong way, especially because it seems that the whole beauty of the game was sacrificed with rushed,less-than-stellar endings in order to garner ratings. I've been mostly defending this creator as i definitely feel like people have been hating on her for no reason with error143 and making mountains out of molehills, but it really feels like this whole game was just designed to be a clapback to the haters, talking about the destructive nature of social media and shocking us with a s*icide that seemed to come out of nowhere to show that 'words hurt guys'. I wasn't particularly mad at that, but the rating thing at the end really made the game feel like it was made to fulfil an agenda, rather than out of passion or a desire to give players and enjoyable experience.

You wouldn't know it from my comment so far but I do love this creator and their games and appreciate all their hardwork, Error 143 was a masterpiece of a game and Going Live was so well made - the song was incredible and had my jaw open! I just didn't love this. At all. I would've been so supportive if there was a big 'guys please please leave a rating' at the end, or even if the creator said point blank 'ill release the happy ending if you get this to 5k ratings' but to make it a part of the game itself, forcing a narrative that doesn't quite fit with the story you were telling? And to boast 3 ending when one of them doesn't even exist yet? It just feel disingenuous and kind of like spitting on genuine fans.
