OMG thank you so so much!! 🥹 Your comment honestly gave me energy for the whole week ahead (??) lol
First, about the mini-game feedback: YES YOU'RE SO RIGHT. I've noted it down and from now on, any mini-game that drops the player into rules-they-need-to-read mid-flow will get a proper instruction screen before it begins. Thank you so much for pointing this out! This kind of feedback is genuinely invaluable because I just can't catch it on my own 🥲
And, you said the word that's literally the heart of why I make this game: "immersed." That's the entire goal. Every creative choice I make is in service of that one thing: letting players sink into the story during the time they spend here. Hearing that it worked for you means everything 🥹
About Ark, don't worry, he's absolutely happening! His route will come a bit later than Dane and Frey's, but it's actually the key to unlocking the bigger mystery of the campus. Playing Dane and Frey's routes will feel fully complete on their own, but Ark's is where it all ties together. No spoilers yet, but once the full story is out I'll also be putting together a guide document so everyone can experience it the way that fits them best!
Oh and yes, When Frey takes off his glasses... XD Let's keep it as a secret for now!
Thank you again for taking the time to play all the way through and write such a thoughtful comment 💕
