Is is normal to get to this point and be stuck?
I can rotate the view with the mouse, get the menu with ESC, but any other button does nothing, I can't move, and the interaction point with the guy is too far to even be able to trigger it...!?!?!?

This is where i got stuck, closed game and restarted, loaded and was back at previous area where she is asked to kill the woman.
It wouldnt trigger the cutscene for that section she would be lying on her bed in the observation room, couldnt progress past so i just deleted the game and will wait for a fix.
Seems that there is a bug there, but the update ends just after interacting with him, your are not losing anything
so, I reached the bugged ending room pass out, wake up naked next to some dude, can't move
in addition to my suggestions on the previous page:
- fix your leveldesign. cut down on the backtracking, make newly opend doors more apparent as well as the way forward. it all looks very samey and I got lost multiple times
- I have to repeat my earlier point of making interactables more obvious. finding the neural base thing was A PAIN!
- I understand why you use AI voice gen, but you should talk to someone who's good at it (scholar's lore on youtube comes to mind. ask them for help so your characters don't sound so flat...)
- combat needs redoing/a lot of work. the knife is pretty much useless except against the static growth on doors... spent half an hour trying to hit one of the bugs, died multiple times, didn't get a single hit in
- your lighting is too much. it's all lit up and bright. if you want to give horror-vibes, tone it down.
- with the interactables being so easily missed, there's too much clutter.
- the station is too clean. the naked woman in the small office comes to mind, iirc the text says she bled out, but it's all neat and tidy.
- the woman in the psych ward needs a bigger hitbox or a different trigger when she's on her knees. I was too close to actually hit her with the knife...
- the idea to have MC's clothes show her health is nice, but the texture when she takes damage is not. also, what's the indicator if I decide to let her be naked (and what's the mechanical downside for her being naked in a hostile environment)?
finally, without knowing your plans, my advice would be to cut the bugs and go for psychological and/or body horror. but also focus more on the lewd side of things (i.e. instead of MC dieing, have her fall over and one of the bugs crawls into one of her orifices)

I'm not sure but i don't think you should be able to run through in 5 minutes, and speaking for myself i had no problem with finding my way around/finding objects.
The orb changes colour with her health.
to be fair, the backtracking could only be an issue because I got lost. that depends on the leveldesign.
if there is little to no backtracking, the issue is me getting lost, reinforcing my point of everything looking the same.
if there is intentional backtracking, it's not helped by everything looking the same...
as always, they are suggestions and my observations. the dev can do what they want with it
game has a lot of potential, im my experience the game was fun and had no problems with graphics or mechanics
So is the character creation just the outfit and hair? Cause if that's the case, that tag really needs to be removed entirely. Changing clothes and hair isn't character creation in the slightest, it's barely even customizing.

Hello,
About backtracking, I don’t think is a problem in the game. Some people also like to wander and explore everything, even in a game like this. All doors have names and green/red panels. They are also shown as open/closed/infected on the map, I recommend to use it.
About interactables, I can add some shine shader on them but I don’t want to break the immersion. I think the appearing of the icon on proximity is ok.
Knife is not intended for combat, that’s why the attack is slow and imprecise. As a general rule, don’t let the enemies get closer to you!
About the lightning, there may be a bug that sets the gamma at maximum. Its fixed in the last update, but not in this one.
About the female corpse, yes, you are probably right.
About Sera hitbox, I’ll have to check it
As someone answered, you can also know your health depending on the color of the little drone. Cira will also put her left arm on her stomach when she is in critical state. Of course, you can also see the state in the inventory.
About the clothes tearing: I’m still working on it. The enemies could grab Cira every time they attack her. This possibility will be greater or lower depending on her clothes state. If you play without clothes, enemies will always grab her. I also plan to add a setting just in case you don’t want this to happen, given that can be annoying for some players.
I appreciate your extended feedback
I can't give you money and I'm sick of VNs, so anything that's different (and not ass/NTR/ai slop) I try my best to help and give decent(I hope!) feedbackI appreciate your extended feedback
good luck!
Game is ok, not anything sexual other than some nudity.
I'd like to see some more monsters roaming the halls, with lewd scenes.
I'd have the option to make smaller boobs on the heroine, Im not for big boob characters A/B size.
