The trust system took a lot of time to develop, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. The love potion increases trust by a fixed amount each time it's used. It doesn't increase it a lot. I wanted to avoid a system where you could buy trust with money. Using it every time will just unlock the final quest.
I've heard a lot of feedback about the consumption rate. I plan to address this by adjusting skills and items.
Thank you for all the feedback, it's very helpful.
I'm currently testing more powerful healing skills. Due to personal preferences, I'm struggling to balance making the predator's body too comfortable for the player. (The prey should be at the mercy of the predator.)
Increasing item usage is a good idea. I'll think of a way to make it feel natural to bring items into the body.
Digestive suppression was removed during the balancing stage. Since the predator recovers health by digesting the player, suppressing it too much resulted in a sudden game over trap. It felt unfair, so I removed it, but I'll look for a better way.
By the way, burping and constriction decrease slightly as trust level increases.
I enjoyed the game, but I think I found a few bugs.

・Surrendering during the first battle leads to a soft-lock.
・The choices presented after defeating the Giant Weapon are not translated.
・After mutating, the protagonist does not appear during battles against the Giant Weapon, Giant Orange, the three Bunny Girls, the Sniper, the apartment resident, and the two liquor sellers.
・Progression is impossible on the 9th floor of the apartment building.
===
・You can use the back-entrance elevator even without clearing the apartment area.
・If you turn back after becoming infected and lose to a police officer zombie, your species reverts to human, and the protagonist's sprite is displayed correctly. (It appears the sprite display bug was unrelated to the specific enemy you fought; my apologies.)
・If you lose to an office worker zombie, the screen remains dark and does not return to normal.
・When you are defeated by an Office Zombie, the "Armed Survivor Event" occurs.
・Even after defeating the zombie that bursts out of the police box, you can still hear voices when passing through the corridor.

The root cause is likely that events were triggered in an unexpected order. There were inconsistencies between the story/dialogue and the actual situation.
