That scene was heart breaking and gut wrenching, but damn you know how to write.I appreciate you taking the time to share your frustration. Sorry that scene changed your mind about the game. The only thing I can say is that everything I put in the story has a place and a reason. But I understand that scene was upsetting for a lot of people. Perhaps as the story unfolds it might change your mind about how you view that particular moment. Regardless, thanks for giving my game a try.
yea, im gonna need some resolution, this has been digging at me since i played it 2 days ago, hallow even brought it to his attention and he just blew it off... i really hope something gets done with this in the near future.
I thought it was strange and not in line with how the MC has behaved so far. Hope it is addressed in an upcoming release.

I must say i was really enjoying this game very much so untill that BS with the lost little girl. Thats some messed up sht man. F u for putting that in there.

It definitely sets the tone for how important it is to protect the "Lost Ones".
Keep up the good work, but please not too many of those scenes too often.
We better be able to help that lost girl. I may be a pervy sob, but I am a hyper protective one when it comes to kids. I already want to kill her parents for ignoring her so much they forgot she exists.
But her parents didn't actually do anything wrong, much like the landlady, Sarah, starting to forget about her daughter, Renée.We better be able to help that lost girl.

Wow, you have some strong feelings about this and honestly I love you for it. It means you were invested, which is a huge compliment. I also understand the story pissed you right the heck off. That's definitely not what I'm going for. If you aren't too angry and are interested, I'd be willing to have a private conversation with you about where my head is with some of what's going on. Why does the MC do what he does (or doesn't)? Why are the choices about the storyline so limited? I don't want to put in to much expose in the public comments, simply because I want players to draw their own conclusions. But I also get why sometimes you need to yell at the developer because he isn't having the MC react the way you think he should. PM me if you care to. Or if you just want to yell at me, that's perfectly okay too.Nothing has ever made me hate the MC of a game as much as the end of day 27.
Why didn't he Beg Muriel to interfere?
Why didn't he run forward as soon as he saw her corned, just in case, and try to catch her?
Why didn't he Order Ubel to catch her?
He just let it happen.
And if that had to happen, why not end it, that night? Why not Inform Hollow that tonight he gets to feed, and march on the Mayor and the task force, and use the Hollow to enact some kind of vengeance? If Muriel would be upset about that, why not condemn HER, for failing to help, or encouraging him to move faster so he could help? Remind her that hell already broke the rules before, and she had the choice of either breaking a rule and undoing the girl's death, or else you would let the Hollow free on the people who caused this?
When it came to his wife and kids, he wasn't there. He couldn't have done anything. But with this he was, he could have, and he failed.
But oh well, what's done is done. It's day 28 now! Let's go to a tennis lesson and maybe fuck an instagram model!
It's not just the scene that pisses me off. It's the lack of choice. VERY VERY VERY few choices in game seem to impact the plot, at all. And in a story where the MC is trying to figure his path forward in the face of impending doom, where he is the one to make the 5 ordained choices.... why do you write a game where the player has SO LITTLE choice?
Even if the intent, for the sake of true consequences, was for that scene to always play out like that, why could we not be given a choice to ATTEMPT to not be helpless or worthless as it happened, even if we were bound to fail?
Why could we not make the choice to reign ourselves in, or give into rage?
If nothing else, why couldn't we be given the choice to spend day 28 in bed, sulking, mourning, and swearing to ourselves that we would do everything to gain the power to ensure we never merely stood by, helpless, ever again?
Well, to the last one, I guess the answer is obvious. Got an instagram model to go fuck. No time to mope about standing by and doing nothing, while watching a 16 year old girl die.
How am I supposed to feel any sympathy or connection to this piece of shit?
I really feel you, but i don't think this is a story of a Hero who saves everyone and its been reiterated many times during the game, if there is a choice given in those situations it'd completely defeats the narrative of the game and it'd be like making two separate games. Hallow is not portrayed as a kind of superpower to do the MC's bidding, if he let Hallow loose on the Mayor's office then the innocents won't be spared either. And blaming Muriel has no effect since it's been told many times that heaven can't directly interfere(even when MC was killed it was the universe which looked the other way) and for what its worth Muriel tried to warn him he can't do anything. And regarding not sulking the day after, my guess is its mainly because MC already blames himself for so many things, so he just added one to that list and went to sleep (although it can also be since the updates takes place in days not in chapters, so each day is important for story progression and it cannot be wasted for mourning).How am I supposed to feel any sympathy or connection to this piece of shit?

Something is making people forget. MC himself even forgot about Persephone until he forced himself to remember when confronted by her.
It's a tragic story, and I hope we have a chance to save her (I even suspect we will be informed of her existence because she's Megan's actual best friend that little Amy was so upset about).
We'll just have to wait and see.

Many movies use this high stress situation to accelerate the bang, make people get closer faster,I really feel you, but i don't think this is a story of a Hero who saves everyone and its been reiterated many times during the game, if there is a choice given in those situations it'd completely defeats the narrative of the game and it'd be like making two separate games.

This game is not a typical power fantasy/Harem setting, i mean the way you get the girls is in itself so twisted and fucked up. So i think you make the game to be something which it never tried to be in the first place. Still i feel you(I really felt helpless and almost gave up the game in the latest update when a little girl was crying for help), I tried connecting/immersing myself with the MC but its hard though i still enjoy the game cause of its unique setting and some lovable characters. Just my two cents.
Either I am overthinking it (a distinct possibility, I am good at that), or I understand the place and reason....The only thing I can say is that everything I put in the story has a place and a reason...
100% agreed that it was fucked up but now that I am calm enough to rationally think about that scene, it makes sense from and for the story; since he has no connection to her, he couldn't see her. Since he couldn't see/hear her, he couldn't help. Hollow knew the kid was there, but he sure the hell isn't going to help.Why the fuck didn't we help the little lost girl, that was fucked up.
Isn't Renne's mum the one people got butthurt over the possible ntr scene.
All pregnancies in this game will be optional.Yeah, that is the problem we have a connection with Renne and can see her, but her own mother doesn't remember.
So it is her, so preggo an NTR chick, pass.
Oh I like preggo, its the with an NTR chick that is the problem.All pregnancies in this game will be optional.
