Great start to a game i am already invested.

The dealing with mental illness aspect is done really well so far.

I like more down to Earth characters and settings keep up the good work

A strong potential, beautiful writing and impressive graphics. Music is valued. The "action" part is however too light for my taste (just a kiss) and I hope that during the other versions that the creator will let go much more. I'm just afraid that the investigation part will take over too much. good job.

I haven´t finished On Distant Shores yet, but if it is the game I think it is I liked what I played. It just had too many LI´s for me to keep track off.

The premise of this game intrigues me so I will download it for that reason and we´ll see if I keep doing it.

The musical interludes that reflect the struggles of the characters are a really fantastic idea. Are you using an AI to write the songs? If so, you might want to take another pass at the granddaughter's 'bear in my room' song. What started as an emotional moment ended up being unintentionally funny because of how on the nose the lyrics were, and how often the words 'the bear in my room' repeated itself.

Also it would be great if the player had the ability to rename the granddaughter.

Is this about MC being depressed and lonely only for girls to walk up to him and want sex?
Why does that sound familiar?
Oh. That was the last game.

On Distant Shores was great although it had one of the most disappointing endings I've experienced.
Yeah. Makes me leery another of his games. I don't want to enjoy all the way through only to end up like game of thrones/on distant shores. An ending that just fucking ruins the story.

I found ODS ending perfect. Not every story has a good ending. I found the ending of the other story highly emotional and moving.

Tried the compressed and non compressed version. Neither of them are running for me. First time I encountered a problem running a game. Anyone else? Obviously some of you got it work based on posts here.

Planned tags: NTRS and lesbians although it is avoidable, so not interested anymore. Because if that possibility exists in any situation, then the game belongs on the ignore list. Besides that, harem is out of the question. So everything is wrong in this game.
Cool.

And today marks the day I learned NTR is not NTRS.

Or the other way around, NTRS is part of NTR.

I checked all the other interactions after the Becky kissing incident, and seems that none of the other LI interactions had a punishment score if you didn't take the choice in their favor. So at least thats good. But I still think that the whole interaction with Becky is not anchored in reality.

I went through the two interactions with Becky again and this time I didn't choose to loosen the dress code, and there was no punishment score for not kissing her this time. So I guess that means she took the loosening of the dress code as a come-on, and then not kissing her makes you lose the point you gained for loosening it in the first place and also cancels the dress code change. So I guess if you're not interested in her then just don't be friendly at all?

But the main issue with the whole scenario is that this is a Gen-X guy who spent 30 years working a corporate job. There is no way that the thought would even occur to him to try to kiss this co-worker on the 2nd day of knowing her on his first official day of work as her supervisor. I mean really. Just listen to his trauma dump to the blue haired woman at the gym later on, its been 11 years. Its gonna take more than a stumble into someone to even start the processes required to do such a thing. Plus the path for that LI gets shut down right then too? She seems nice but we don't know her well enough to make that decision this early in the game!

After leaving there, especially after that scene in the gym, Angie needs a gentle conversation about boundaries and appropriateness. He's about to be a college professor and she's been talking about setting him up with his students as well, that has to be nipped in the bud before she gets him fired.
