I know everyone is defending this game, so I am sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I really used to like this game, but the most recent has become painful! I saw the dev's caveat that the game is a grind, but here's my question: why? Why make us do the same exact things multiple times only to progress an inch? Why tell me to go somewhere in this hospital but not give the option? By definition doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results is called insanity, and that game has succeeded in doing just that, I feel like I am going insane playing this game.
I am sorry, but it seems like this is designed to draw something out for the sake of drawing out the story. That seems like a lack of creativity on the part of the dev. I know I don't have to play this, but I used to really like this game, but it feels like the grind is the game, and the game itself wants to piss off everyone who plays it. Like I said, I really used to like this game, and always looked forward to its release, but I'm out. After getting nowhere feeling like nothing is happening, and even skipping a level to see if anything changed, I grew tired and frustrated.
Dev, I wish you luck, but maybe look at the games that are really popular and take a page from their book, because this isn't working. I usually support those types of games and was tempted to support this one, until you decided to make the game the grind.
