Man I wish HTML games would do more to advertise their game than just give you a few stock images and porn clips.

could you link a screenshot so i can see whats happening and what browser are you using?
i will wait for a few more updates of story etc before checking this out. i initially was going to DL it till i noticed the small DL size. lots of other games to look at that have more content than this on iniital release. note to the dev, try to put some actual content in your releases. would gain you more interest in your game in my opinion.
You could show a picture of the actual game interface so people have an idea of what it's like instead of just random gifs. Maybe a pic with some of the writing on screen so people can scrutinize it for quality. It's not about needing original art, it's about showing off the parts you actually fucking made, not just random porn.

Why the hell would someone release this? It has no content, it seems like every single passage has a bug, the writing (if you can call this writing) is shameful. This is something anyone could put together in two minutes.
You most likely spent more time setting up a subscribestar page than actually working on this ... thing!
I hate being an asshole about this but if you REALLY want to make a game and have people love it so much they're willing to give you money to work on it, WHY would you release this empty husk of a game?
I'm sorry man, but if others are anything like me, as long as they remember the name of this game, they'll avoid even clicking on it, let alone give you their hard earned bucks.

Glad you're testing your bloody game now AFTER releasing it.. If you want ppl to pay for your work, ACTUALLY put some work in it... To me you're just another "hey look at my patreon, my patreon is cool, my patreon is the best".
Remember that we're here for one thing, and if the thing is good, then we're more incline to put some money, that's how it works.
Lemme give some honest advice onyour game, so you can have a better idea of what a decent game would look like:
- display stats on the side bar, without needing the click of a button
- forget about putting all the actions i can do in the same line, it's really not user friendly
- put some work on your UI, customize it a lil' bit, so i can think you put work on your game
- "the cafe opens between 4pm to 8pm every day" => goes there at 4:47pm => not open.
==> test your goddamn game, and if you're too lazy to do it, then ask ppl to do it. Putting out there a v0.0.1 isn't an excuse for it to be bugged, or unfinished.
oh and please don't be the "i'm gonna actually put a lot of location with nothing in it so my game would look diverse and full and amazing and..." type of dev. hell no.
(sorry for the sass and the anger, but it's kinda deserved)
I'm not expecting any artwork, I'm expecting screenshots. An HTML game lives and dies on its writing, so showcase your writing, showcase the UI, and show how this HTML project is put together. Porn clips and stock images tell me nothing about any of those three.
schedule is messed up. should be able to work in the morning. it's a cafe, that means coffee.
park breaks the game eventually while you try to burn time for the cafe to open.
dead links in the bathroom.
your first introduction to the game should be on rails as you slowly get introduced to areas of the game and your general situation. not a sandbox where everything is broken. this is easier to design as the first pages land you at completed stages of the game and give you the ability to create structures with completed loops. so you're working from a stable foundation.
also, if you're going to have your links on the same line, you need to put a separator | of | some | kind | between | them.
the only page that actually works is where you enter your name.
