This kind of game (text based) has a lot of potential as it allows for more fetish to be put in place than most other (non text based) games. That said it can also have it's struggles as games that focus on text do get nitpicked for things like spelling, grammar, and of course the content provided. I hope the dev is really for the challenge creating such a game can give cause I personally think we could do with more text based games.

This is like the worst possible version of Ethos of Darkness. No clear relationship between any input and any result, no actual map or gameplay. No dev should ever release a game in such a state - it only makes him or her look incompetent or greedy.
Feels like someone ordered a rare steak so the restaurant just herded a cow to their table. That being said, I really hope this gets worked on, there aren't enough text-based games with those tags.
An Alpha or Techdemo not having all features or much content, fine, thats to be expected.
It having optimization problems or weird/buggy physics, fine.
But not having the character sprite (or symbol) move while the player moves invisibly seems like a completely glaring oversight that the developer should know about. That casts doubt about the seriousness of the dev.
a good base game start and i cant wait to see this grow like Lilith throne

All the fields must add to 15. You have 1 point in each attribute ergo: 4 points are used and you have 8 points remaining.

Alright, I ain't one to come in here and start shitting all over people and their work. I love text-based games. I quite enjoy a lot of these very small projects for what they are, made by one person or a small team with no money. But this is just nothing. Like, absolutely nothing. Not worth anyone's time or thought or download or anything at all. It's in its conceptual stage at best.
Yet still there are people in here saying that it has a lot of "potential". That you don't know what they may or may not do with this in the future. You could say that anyone with access to a computer has the potential of making worthwhile game one day. But you don't just throw your money at them in case they do. They should have to actually present you with a solid "core" of a game that they can build around. Something that shows that they are in fact capable of delivering a good experience. And there is nothing even resembling that here. This "core" is broken and barren that I don't see how anyone can reasonably have faith that this developer will produce anything of worth. The writing is bad, the art is bad, the interface is barebones, the concept is generic, what little content it has is a technical mess. No aspect of this inspires any confidence. People should stop making excuses for developers like this. Please have some standards.
Maybe this developer is capable of creating something decent. But this needed a lot more time in the oven before they opened up a Patreon. (And if you go to their Patreon you can see that apparently one of the two people involved with this game have already started working on a different "ambitious" 3D game that is on hold because they are incapable of making it. No. Just no. Red flags. Avoid.)

This dev should stick to using premade game engines instead of using their very, very, very basic programming skills to make a buggy, messy and unintuitive game.

PS the problem with the icon not moving was I switched from a shitty system to a better looking one and i uploaded a not working version by accident, I will release the newest version on the 4th so you can see the progress I am making, I work a full time job and am writing this game on the side, I will read every comment on here and try to work off of them to improve myself and my game. This is my first time doing something this ambitious with code so please, bring in the criticism, criticism helps you grow!
Sorry for the confusion.
In fact, Here I fucked up releasing the broken v97 I apologize here the latest update.

(click view changelist.)The game is pre-alpha basically a prototype but yeat im working on it. Our 3d game is on hold due to no modeling/animation knowledge. Thats why I changed gears and went to text based/2d because i can work with that. 8 Years programming experience but 0 in modeling.

My future plan for the character creation system is a Avatar system like the ones used in some of the html games i tested, I liked that system and would like to see it as a part of my game.

What resolution are you on, I designed the ui to work all the way down to 900x800... Maybe it's a DPI issue.
Vertacle resolution should go to 720 or 700 to be compatible with low end or older laptops.
