There’s a giant rectangle in the way of all the text when you try to play the html file on mobile, making the game unplayable.

Good point! Not sure how to do bugfixes on here yet, but the links are updated on Patreon.

This game is pretty great so far, besides the potentially relatively typical story in regard to the secretary and her boss. But we'll see where it leads.
One more thing though. When it comes to the character descriptions, would it be possible to get more information about their looks? Some characters have it (information about hair color, skin color, etc.), but others don't. This is pretty much nitpicking given that the player can also make up their look themselves, which can also work and be great, but I'm just wondering whether more detailed descriptions were in the works.

Thank you! Honestly the whole character menu is still a work in progress. One of the original ideas was to add galleries to each page and use AI to draw them in different scenes, which would’ve solved the appearance problem. But then, I don’t know much about AI and to my understanding the level of consistency still leaves much to be desired so I decided against it for now.

I see the case for more details, but I wanted to give a “feel” of the characters, and let the player fill the rest in their minds as you've pointed out. I’ll try to hit a happy medium.

Personally I do prefer the text only style over (possibly bad) AI. But that is obviously up to you.
Too much information would indeed take away the players freedom. I guess the amount of information isn't even what I found a bit off, instead it was more so the fact that some characters have their looks mentioned and others don't. So more so lack of consistency I'd say, but that could very well be because of the fact that it's a work in progress. Ultimately it also isn't that important compared to new high quality content which I'm very much looking forward to.

Hello,

this is a game very well written. I like it very much. There are many minor choices which is great.

There are a few minor typos. I also encountered the bug mentioned above, where I was stuck due to my previous choices. Here is another bug in passage playpong12. You want to update the variable $bodyshots, but there is one dollar $ to much in the code: <<set $$bodyshots = true>> so an incorrect variable is updated.
