Hi there, just played it!

It's a good game so far for the most part and I'm enjoying the story.

I picked up a few things through my playthrough:

• English has a few errors, but still playable and understandable / enjoyable
• Lighting in some scenes appears too strong
• Some of the main character's thoughts in-game are not in white and italics like you said they'd be at the start of the game
• Some choices that the player can make use the wrong pronoun: "Put pressure on her. Let him look for any job faster." when talking to Emily
• Some of Emily's animations don't really fit to what she's saying: facial animations are good though
• If you put your cursor in the empty center of a straight arrow when navigating around the house,
  it doesn't highlight it any longer and doesn't allow you to click
• Unclear at times on how to progress (Maybe that's just me lol)

Overall I like it and I'm for sure looking forward to any updates you put out!

I'm not gonna play your game, the reason is this.... If you can't be bothered, nor can I.. You don't eat waffles with spoons, especially spoons that are upside down! (5th Pic) The face on the wall draws more attention than the out of focus model. (Pic 2)
Another bubble butt, non realistic and in 98% of games at the moment. (Pic 3) and a complete turn off! (Personal Preference)
Attention to detail is not everything, but if you want people to play and not criticize, then it's 98% of everything and this also includes your writing 'You lived a normal life until' I stopped reading at this point because it reads the same as almost every other game, it doesn't stand out and it does't call to me.
I am not saying these things to be cruel or negative, but they are important factors to the future and well being of any project.
I wish you the best of luck with this.

It would be nice to know what kind of kinks we can expect down the line.

Pretty much this, there's only a few things I'd like to add.

- Inconsistent light effects. During the evening, the office still had sunlight in it, that should be some lamp light.

- The wine scene is way too dark, you barely can see anything unless you manually change the brightness on your screen.

- Eric? For real? Ugh. I know especially Russian developers likes to "pay homage" to Big Brother, but it's 2020 already, move on.

- If the language you use on your Patreon is English, and that's what you'll use to communicate with your player base as well, then the default language in the game should be English, not Russian.

- The same music that Photo Hunt has being on repeat almost constantly will be more annoying than enjoyable on the long run.

Otherwise it's fine, not the best first release I ever saw, but there are much much worse than this, and most problems with the game are small ones.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

• English is really not my native language, but I will try to correct the translation. In the future, it is possible to attract people who will translate better.
• I will try to do less coverage in future renders. I was worried that, on the contrary, the night scenes were too dark))
• As for the color of thoughts, I will double-check all the dialog options today. Perhaps the translation style was lost.
• "Put pressure on her. Let him look for any job faster." I will try to understand the translation error. Can you tell me how this phrase sounds correctly? The point of it is to insist on the fastest search for any job.
• I think I need to create more emotions to match the animation...
• I'll fix the arrow right away. This will not be the case for the next update.
• Yes, a magazine with quests is planned. Well it's not a priority) I tried to give direction with hints, but I understand now that those who do not know all the ways of the game will get discomfort.

I'm a novice developer. But I will try to learn how to port to Android!

"Put pressure on her. Let him look for any job faster.", If I understand what you meant to say, should read "Put pressure on her. Make her look for a job faster."

 

[AlwayzUndead]

Its a good start. My only issues were when starting its automatically set to Russian so i had to guess where the English translation would be based on other games with multi languages, an in some scenes the lighting would flicker and could be a bit brighter. There are some spelling errors as shanklyr said but apart from that i enjoyed the game so far.

Thank you for your feedback! Details are important to me. In any case, I will try to avoid such mistakes in the future! About the description. I can't tell you about the main story and idea of the game now, because it hasn't happened yet in this Demo. And to describe what is not yet in the game, but only planned, I think it is incorrect.

Remove the clown?

 

[Abhai]

I'm a novice developer. But I will try to learn how to port to Android!

better try to improve game firstly, there is a fair number of flaws to correct/improve there
pc/mac versions are enough even for more advanced games (with more updates)...down the line you could/should port it to android just to increase your players base a bit, if nothing else. and those who wanna "android pls" now, could ask for an unofficial version if they wanna it.
btw, good luck with the game

- I thought it would be fun to use that name) Apparently not

- I was sure it would be English. I thought Renpy should identify the language system. At least that's what his documentation says. And that he remembers the last language. That's why I couldn't check. I'll dig into the engine! As I understand it, this is a common problem in many games.

- It's all about copyright) this music is free and therefore everywhere. I'll look for a less boring one)

 

[Light_FeniXXX]

It would be nice to know what kind of kinks we can expect down the line.

In the future, I plan to focus on different paths in the game. I would like the game to really be non-linear. There were no black and white options. The consequences were not immediate.
The main plot hasn't come yet in this Demo. I was more focused on the mechanics. Because I'm not a programmer and I had to learn everything from scratch.
If you asked about tags, then I plan to conduct all the main ones as in other games. If I have subscribers on the Patron in the future, I will enter tags based on voting. The only thing I'm against is imposing mandatory scenes on the player. I want him to decide for himself and be able to avoid scenes.

I didn't say you had to but something like....

It's been a while now, I was seemingly trapped in a mundane life without ever realizing it, so when the trouble at work started it took me not only by surprise, but also out of my comfort zone.
It's funny how we get so used to the everyday and drift along on our own, especially when you consider that friendship and companionship are a fundamental part of who we are, Humans.
Nothing re-affirms this better than a friend in need. They needed a place and I needed a friend, win-win right? Maybe, but when I also consider the person I have become as opposed to the person I WANTED to be
you have to wonder if my friend even knows me anymore!
One thing is for sure.. Something has to change, I have to change! Do I let people walk all over me, or do I become the Alpha? Do I rub peoples nose in the sand, or do I offer a calm, friendly hand?
Do I discuss or manipulate?
You and I, my subconscious friend, are on a journey, a journey of discovery and faith, a journey of truth or dare. It all begins now, it all begins TODAY!

And I would have played your game in a heartbeat.

Thanks! There are really a lot of plans. I will describe all the tasks for myself.
