It's all good, and I appreciate the quick replies! I look forward to the next release and hope development goes smoothly for you.

Hello there, I hope you're doing well! Perfect Pitch is an outstanding game, and I would like to thank and congratulate you for your efforts. Creating and successfully releasing a visual novel is no easy feat, especially for (what I assume to be) a solo dev, and even moreso for a game with this level of visual flair. I've never seen another VN use animations and cutscenes like this, and as someone who's been working on their own VN for a while and has been planning on utilizing cutscenes, this game has given me a lot to think about in terms of designing and implementing them. It also brought back a lot of fond music-related memories for me, including stuff from my marching band years.

There are a couple things I'm curious about:

1. Since this game clearly takes a ton of inspiration from Lessons in Love, and there's a screen at the start that mentions "careful listening" being required to progress, does this mean future updates will include puzzles?

2. Besides Lessons in Love, are there any other VNs you've used as inspiration for your game?

3. This one might be a bit personal, so I totally understand if you're unwilling to answer it. I believe you've mentioned having taught music in the past, and considering the way academic research is presented in this game, I've been wondering: are you (or have been) a university professor?

thanks for the quick reply! i did read that instruction and had some trouble understanding it based on how it was phrased, but i think i get it now.

i also figured out what the issue was: i think i somehow broke the teeth when i put them in (i didn't realize you could do that), and it was the only set of teeth i had, effectively softlocking me. probably happened when i was spamming the z button (a lack of gabapentin makes selecting things very difficult)

can anyone explain how to attach the plastic arms? i've been trying forever to get them on, but it's not working (tried with gabapentin, properly cleaned the blood off from the shoulders/bars)

edit: somehow got the arms and legs on, still not entirely sure what triggers them to pop on, now i've attached all the parts and i think i need to clean up the remaining blood, but im not sure. i checked the game files so i know what the final clean body is supposed to look like, but it's really hard to get the cloth to interact with the blood stains (especially once you're completely out of gabapentin)
