I like it. My only suggestion is the ability to see how things stand/are affected in general. I don't think you are going the "episode" route so having stats not accessible till the end is a bit annoying.
Although I'm not a fan of game overs what happens if you really fuck up? This seems like "date this person" game but clearly there are other characters.
Also, was there any way to prevent my house from being brunt to the ground!?
I think for a lot of people using their personal judgment and paying attention to how in-game characters react to their actions is an integral part of the "gameplay." It should also be pretty obvious when it comes to morality without spelling it out directly, i.e., players can differentiate between actions that are "less" moral than others.
Without this element of strategy, these kinds of games are far less immersive (at least in my opinion). Letting players track their morality would be like a cheat basically. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this isn't the type of game where you should try too hard to manipulate the outcomes because the game is literally
designed for players to simply play how they want to play. In other words, you'll have more fun if you just choose the actions you want, and you won't necessarily be punished if your decisions lean somewhat more heavily in one direction than the other.
With all of that said, I do acknowledge that a few players
prefer to know what exactly is happening when they make in-game choices and this makes the game more fun for them. That's why I'm open to letting someone make a walkthrough for the game if they so choose and I'd be willing to publish it on the main game thread/assist with it's creation. Anyone with a decompiler could easily peak into the games code and see the direct morality effects and relationship effects (the only thing they'd have a hard time deciphering are the hidden variables).
Not making a walkthrough myself is just a personal choice, though, because I want to encourage people to play the game how it's meant to be played.
well..i guess there had to be one person not smitten by the adorable Naomi
sorry Sir Damned..ya aint batting .1000 anymore
That's alright, it was inevitable as "beauty" is entirely subjective and some people just have different tastes (especially people in different parts of the world). That said, she's definitely a stunner if 99% of the people who've played think she's attractive so far.
Just started, but I hope I can get rid of that Naomi girl ... I really dont like her look. I feel like she's squinting all the time. And her mouth is ... ugly? I dunno. I really dont like it.

But I will continue. The feedback seems to be good, so I will give it a proper try.
Sorry my friend, it wont be that easy to shake her for a while as she's one of two main female characters. That said... players will eventually be able to dodge her from time to time in favor of the second main female character, depending on who they like more. That said... if you can tolerate her and you still enjoy the game overall than don't be discouraged, there are going to be LOTS of potential romances/flings in the game.
