Ok - just started the game.
Add a preference link on the start page. Currently you have to use "Load" to change the settings....
Then the first text confuses me ...

They will see each other every week or not for months? ...
The UI is quite uncommon ...
And when the BF got arrested, the first thing she does is resting? .. How about calling the police to ask about him?
Then everything is going downhill.
Crude translation (I guess or horrible writing), some pointless stats that you can look at and generic "events" like "I talk with my Eshe"
That's it. It is barely a tech demo/teaser but not anything you can call a first release. The preview images are about 60% of the game content as of 0.0.2.
We dont know shit about her, or any character. Everything is bland and boring without anything.
Before you pile that shitload of stats and "mechanics" onto the player, maybe use some time and show something about the MC and her live. We get 6-8 sentences and pics about her time with her "BF".
What we know about the MC:
She is black
She has a black friend that she can see every weekend, but they wont get together for month!
She has a hair salon with a debt that she has to pay weekly (yeah fuck reality, we need a weekly moneythink!!)
She has a black coworker
She has/had a criminal BF
She is forced by some other black chick to commit crimes - BECAUSE!
I know - black ppl and US police dont go well together, but WHY should she not go to the police? - As I said, that should be the first plausible thing after she knows that her BF got arrested. Up to that drug pick up (that is stupid as well - she has to walk what? 50m ... ok - dont care) she hasnt committed any crimes and could go to the police.
And the whole sandbox crap shows its weakness at its best - her life is turned upside down and what does she do? Nothing - she has a calm conversation with that Eshe girl and her best friend. Yeah nothing unusual to talk about.
Sorry, here is nothing good to say - I hoped for some kind of black GGGB attempt and not some crappy sandbox stat grinder without any character building.
PLZ add Sandbox tag. Thx.
