Specifically the last one especially, while I don't believe they should have top and bottom surgeries in a college clinic (lol), maybe adding a hospital in town for it would be great! We definitely need a "Egg Cracking" update in the future!!
(Also, if you have more suggestions, make sure to join the discord since there's a whole suggestion channel there :D)
I'm very mixed up on this; please don't take what I'm about to say as hate or anything of the sort!! This is truly just criticism as well as questions I have before buying the game!
While I do appreciate the warning and many indications, this age-gap goes far deeper than just being scandalous when one character, specifically the person of power and/or the elder of the two, knows the other when they were still a minor. Because I haven't bought the game yet this is all speculation, but wasn't mason 16 years old when he met his teacher, whom to be Arthur? While they are adults now, yes, Arthur still held a level of authority for some time before Mason became an adult.
This is essentially grooming, and while I don't believe this is new information, I just hope that this topic was tackled respectfully and not romanticized. I believe other's share the same sentiment that a broader, larger warning at the top of the page would be better so others know what they are getting into before buying the game.
I also understand many frustrations coming from others because Arthur doesn't look like a man in his mid 30s, and while the art style may be at fault, I do believe that this decision possibly confused some people, including myself.
Now I know this will probably get downvoted into super hell (like most comments with criticism do), I still want to make sure that my comment is clear; this isn't hate. I don't hate this concept, and the art directory in this project looks amazing! I just believe there is a lot of miscommunication and misunderstandings from both the staff and community. Much love, and hope to hear back soon, just so I can quench my worries before buying this game!! <3
Maybe I’m jumping the gun a little too much right now, but are we sure no AI was used for the art? I’m just a little skeptical and I apologize if this seems rude, I really don’t mean it to be! I just want to know since looking at the guy’s hands look… very melty, to say the least. As well as the clothing, it’s wrinkles and overall shading just… feel off, y’know? Sorry if this seems rude, again!
First of all, no need to be so defensive. I meant zero harm with my comment and I did enjoy my playthrough of this game. If it insulted you that I simply had my doubts if this was human made or not, than that says a lot about you than it does me (sorry if this came out as rude, again I am not here to get petty over an itch game lol).
Second, I still have my doubts that some of this wasn't used with Chatgpt. And yes, while I do agree that AI does steals from writers, Isn't it such a coincidence that every single person with this "unique writing style" is being copied by AI? Truly, I mean no offense and again, I'm sorry if my comments ever come off as rude! I'm simply a concerned player wanting to know if the game he's playing was made with care or not.
Before I comment this, please don't take this as accusatory or outright hateful, I do not mean that in the slightest. This visual novel was written with AI, specifically ChatGPT. All of it isn't, I could tell that much, but there were moments that gave it away. The constant grouping of threes, the "its not x, its y" wording used frequently, the tell-don't-show with the explanation from Zeke (I know it's a visual novel thats not supposed to show you every part of the story, but it just REEKED of those AI dumbing-it-down explanations), and so on.
The more I noticed, the more the story started to change as well; instead of it being this mystery about our lover who's kind of bad-shit crazy and us slowly regaining our memory, It turned super left field with monsters and the fact Khol could be knocked out that easily despite us being told we SHOULD fear this guy?? I know this demo has a lot of work to do, and I do love this game-- the art is fantastic and the story definitely had an amazing hook, I just hope that if the creator was using AI, they would stop or at least be more honest to their audience.
Thank you so much for your kind response and I'm glad to know your wrote the game yourself! Sorry if that sounded backhanded but its true, I'm glad. I'm sorry if my earlier response was rather rude as well, I'm an artist and I really dislike AI "art" because of that fact. I will be looking forward to the no-AI all-text version when it comes out, and again, thank you for the response!
This seemed okay until I realized, not only was the art was so painfully AI generated, the creators were also charging 7 whole dollars to play a game filled with AI. Why would I buy a game that doesn't even care about the art going to it, and even has the audacity to label itself a "visual novel". I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, I truly hope you stop using AI because your game has such an interesting premise reading the description.
Hello!! First off, I LOVE this demo a whole bunch! You are an excellent writer and I aspire to be like you when I create my IF story!! Anywho, I have around two things to ask, if that’s alright? Do you have any visuals for what the weapon’s of our player character look like? I’m having trouble picturing it in my brain and I really wanna know what you think they look like (not saying your descriptions were bad, I promise!! I’m just slow lol)! Oh and, what site did you use to make this IF? I tried twine but I’m so buns at it lolol!! I heard you’re in surgery, so answer whenever you can/want and I truly hope you get better soon!! Hugs and platonic kisses, XX!!
