1. not really! i just answered how i wanted, which is how i would do it even if i did not believe i could only play this once
2. my mental image of the characters were quite loose since i didn't have a "canon" description to go off. ash had a more masculine look (strong jaw, short hair, etc) but i didn't envision them as a man. SAL is a robot, and therefore it didn't make sense to me for them to be masc or fem.
3. i was honest with ash and we ended up "taking things slow". i found the bit about "how many steps are there?" quite cute for some reason.
4. i liked playing as SAL! i liked seeing their side of things and seeing how they thought. also, your writing is great, and i really liked SAL's dialouge. i liked that ash felt sorta real to me! they were a bit nicer and calmer than i would maybe expect but i liked them. the only thing i didn't like was that there's no fullscreen option (i'm on laptop) but that's a small thing. another thing, i didn't like that some white text was in the middle of the passage so i'd click on it without reading the rest of the text.
5. it made me feel warm. ash was very patient with SAL and i just loved that aspect.
6. i'd love to see more about ash and SAL's daily routine, especially once they're dating.
7. i like to think it would work out. they might need to have a lot of talks to think about ways they can help eachother, but i think they'd be very cute together <3
8. just that i really like this game! also the green and black aesthetic adds to the vibe i think.
