This kind of sentiment gets pushback because it is SUCH a personal preference. I wouldn't have even picked up this game if the MC had been their own character with their own appearance. It's extremely common for this gray hairless androgynous-looking character to be a stand-in for YOU or YOUR UNIQUE CHARACTER in these VNs. You can fill in the blanks with your own imagination. It's meant to be "unfinished"...because you finish it in your mind.
I've had a pretty unique life (as have most people) and I know I'll never see someone like me represented, unless I tell my own story. I have no desire to do that. I just want to yume with some fun characters.
In this game, the whole point is that the love interest will fall for the MC because of their actions, no matter their appearance, so it makes even more sense than usual to have their appearance be a blank slate. It's not the kind of story you may want to read or tell, but I wholeheartedly disagree that that makes it a lesser story than if it had had a MC with a specific appearance.
And I'm pretty confused why you feel so strongly about this, as I haven't heard anything about the creator being forced to make a self-insert MC or anything. If you ever make your own VN with an OC MC, I promise I will read it! But your preference is just that; a preference.
Really enjoyed playing this game. The writing was very cute and charming, and I had a fun time! I liked the wide variety of choices. I felt like I had a choice for whatever I would do in the situation. Also, the wide variety of expressions you dew for Sabel is impressive and makes the game so much more immersive!
I had fun discovering all the kinds of faces he can make. If I had to criticize something, it would be that I wanted to see more of his actual character, but this is a game jam and this game is centered around a chase, so I understand that that doesn't leave much room for character writing.
Great job overall and thanks for making this game! I'm looking forward to whatever you decide to do with it in the future!
