I liked the worldbuilding and the characters, also how the world gets more colorful after a hug (and that you can reject the hug and that choice is acknowledged, and you can still finish the game ok). Hugs being punishable by witholding food is a bleak thought, but something I can see AI will try to do to keep those under their watch in check.
Nice story. I liked the idea and th ewriting. Also the characters were interesting. Also the art is very nice.
An interesting concept of a sci-fi dystopian world with, perhaps, a cautionary commentary on today’s obsession with AI by the corporations. Loved the art and character design:)
I liked the story and its development; however, I think perhaps there was a lack of world and character development. The events unfold too quickly, and there isn't much space to stop and think. But that's just a personal preference, and that's okay.
I admit the bug hindered the experience a bit, but I'll use it as an excuse to test other routes/paths.
Good work!
Tech/bug feedback >> selecting think about her leads to a dead end. I had to restart and select another choice to continue. Also, there are a few typos that were distracting.
The lore and worldbuilding were engaging, otherwise. Well done!
