Before I state the issues i've had, I want to say this game's visuals are seriously one of the most unique and stunning visuals i've ever seen, it enhances the atmosphere by a million times, the maids having distinctive designs and personalities, although some character's head sizes seemed off compared to others but i can overlook that if that's the style you're going for, the music, just like maidcore is also amazing and soulful and its Va11-hall-a-esque storytelling and worldbuilding instantly captivated me into wanting more. I seriously think this game has potential and I know YOU the Dev, is working hard on delivering, even in it's buggy state, not many games captivated me as much as this. (dont really know the ToS, i skip ToS cuz frankly i get the gist and dont really care, so i tried being proper as possible otherwise id be praising this like a lunatic.)
Ok, for bugs, this game is seriously in rough shape (I know its in early development stages so its not a big deal and hope this helps)
. Radio doesn't seem to work
. Character's suddenly have a ??? whenever you load back in
. Many misspellings here and there
. The letter "Z" seems to not work at all and fuses with the entire word
.Characters will say "double it" and doing so will say that you "f***cked up"
.Characters disappearing is a little wonky and some animations would repeat multiple times or would just look out of place, like iya hitting marimo
. When theres multiple characters on screen, some of the characters will be behind others being almost completely hidden (perhaps moving characters who aren't providing much out of screen until they do or say their farewells or perhaps having a sprite at the bottom of the screen if no more characters can fit)
.Character's dialogue do not sync up with what you did.
.Day 2 is extremely buggy and im not sure if you can even get passed it since i got softlocked multiple times
.In Day 2, talking to yakui first leads to a softlock and the cat scene bugs out where the cat splits in 2 and half it's body is missing
.In Day 2, talking to either Dorei or Shitai first will play out the cat scene, then either one will lead you to itai's argument, then talking to the other characters (Yakui, Shitai, or Dorei, based on who you chose first) will play the same scene up to 2 more times
.In Day 2, going to "above finished" softlocks you
.In Day 2, after talking to everyone, with the amount of bugs and avoiding softlocks, there's nothing to do and the game seamlessly just ends here, even found the bar trying to figure out what to do next
These are all the bugs i've stumbled upon but I think there should be more accessibility options like having a skip button or fastforward, having a backlog, being able to change the voice separate from sound (voices could use work, definitely love the banjo-kazooie sort of voiceacting but all the maids sound the same it gets repetitive), knowing what you cooked up, knowing what song is currently playing, or having a small character description of the various maids you've encountered, perhaps growing as you learn more about them.
Definitely looking forward to this game no matter how long till launch, maidcore has seriously opened me to more music genres and creators from russia and affected me in a personal level, whether in hobbies or feelings. I will continue to support it's artists and creators whether it stays niche or blows up in popularity, GOOD LUCK!
