Hey everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to play my game and share your thoughts! I'm not a pro dev or writer but I can improve. I’ve gone through all the feedback, and I wanted to address some of the points you’ve raised.
I get it with the "coming soon" links but I am not sure that it is a good way to build the game. In its current state the player has not more options and only get frustrated because they get hints about future stuff that they currently cant try.
Maybe just hide that and the player gets another no choice links (like the phone) - might be better.
I get it that different choices might help me understand the story,
but that is a mistake on your part. When I can get there, I have to get the context of the story no matter what I pick. And I picked the choices I picked, because the other were not appealing to me. I do replay these games if they have multiple paths and/or endings, but here it is not deep or wide enough to justify that.
As much as I hate games that dont give me choices (there is a reason I hide all kinetic games ^^) - you should focus on a better intro that establishes the MC and the most important characters. Maybe add some "fake" choices that only change some text lines for fluff to keep the player engaged and dont impact branching so early on.
Also. the phone UI is really good but overwhelming at that time and I think it might also be a bit buggy when you dont click in the right order. Hide not relevant entries - that might be unrealistic but will give the player a better focus what is relevant and what not. Maybe make the names and thumbs unreadable/grey/blur or smth like that when you dont want to hide them.
As I said - the style of the UI is good, but allow the player to change stuff like fontsize and most importantly text speed. I bet most players will set text speed to instant in all the games they play. For me, I can ready quite fast and games that dont allow me to read at my speed (~ 1-2s for a 2-3 line renpy text) get uninstalled instantly.
Oh and maybe add the mute button on start and not so late - that is also quite annoying.
good look with your game.
