I found the retro roguelike layout to be pretty charming. The game seems alright, but there were a few things I wished were more clear in game.
- Tips. I wished they were more accessible than having to step on the "?" each time to read them. Could you make it so that they can be picked up and viewed more easily?
- I didn't know what to expect, but I would have preferred to know how to pause the game before being thrown into a room full of moving enemies.
- Dodging. Honestly, I didn't use it at all. Didn't know how it worked, but managed to beat enemies without it.
- Relationship scores. I don't know if it's a bug, but I seem to get a penalty to almost every interaction. Sometimes they actually do something and sometimes they don't. Like groping Sabrina causes the game to try to set her score to 15. Having sex with Kelsie tries to set it to 50.
P.S. the sprites in the overview are a little different than how they appear in-game.
Yea the tips one is really weird. As is putting the big letter in the first room. There are, like, 2 big enemies. One is possibly the first enemy you fight. You don't get told how to do ANYTHING beyond basic movement until you pass this enemy. Which is optional, but the game doesn't tell you.
Combat dodgte is pointless since you can just move away from enemies and if you fight them on trees they just don't hit you most of the time.
The skip/repeat functions are also both unexplained and barely noticeable, being a tiny button or in the corner respectively.
Once you get far enough to hang out the entire gameplay loop has no meaning. You can talk to a girl for free, enter the forest, immediately exit. Repeat. Desire doesn't matter, charm can be filled so much in 1 run its essentially meaningless, potency doesn't seem to do anything. Only seduction matters at all and it also fills so fast it loses meaning.
Girls going
>doesn't like you
>humors you
>likes you
>submissive
Is weird too. Why is the surfer girl 'submissive'? There's been no dialogue, interactions, anything to suggest this. We literally just hang out. Say I filled the score to be submissive via groping, that'd make sense. But if you hang out with someone and then they like you, that's not submissive, that's people.
