I came across a few more issues. 1: Bella is instantly hungry after eating a student which just shouldn't be possible. 2: Bella can supposedly see 200 degrees around her which is just unfair in every way. If she has a 90-degree view when walking and a 150 when standing still, it would be reasonable, but not a constant 200-degree view. (It might be 180, but I'm not sure. It's still too much especially when hiding is so diffacult.)

Okay man normally I don't like to get into arguments but i think what your experiencing is a skill issue
1. I think your over exaggerating about her vision I had plenty of times when I was on her side and she never saw me, I don't know if your running around or not so she can hear you but she doesn't
2. Bella's stomach capacity is 3 she can have 3 students in her stomach before she full, even then she has an animation when she's eating someone your supposed to run in that grace period.
3. Bella being faster than you is the point I have seen a lot of people complain about this but its not that hard to get around Bella prefers apples over you so just hold a apple its better losing a key than being eaten. if a student is nearby use them as a meat shield, even then the more students Bella has in her stomach the slower she is by the time she has 2 she is literally slower than you, and besides would you rather her be slower than you all the time then you would always outrun her and all the mechanics you could use to keep her at bay would be pointless.
4. I honestly don't know what your talking about with Bella seeing you through walls I have beaten her 5 times so far and never encountered such a glitch maybe you were not as hidden as you thought
5. your just unlucky with apples or your just bad at finding them there usually always in an unlocked room or in the cafeteria just be careful rushing down there immediately that's where Bella spawns.
6. the RNG escape system. I have seen so many people complain about this and everyone who does always says there should be a mash or minigame to escape. these people don't understand the point of the game this isn't struggle simulator were you have to press the keys at the right time its supposed to be tense. you don't want to be caught if you could just either mash or minigame your way out of her belly she would become more of an inconvenience than an actual threat. and sure Ghost could make it a hard minigame but then would you really want to break both your fingers and you keyboard just to get out of Bella's belly the point is being eaten by Bella is supposed to be a bad thing you will likely die from. and I have stated previously that there are defenses you can use to keep Bella at bay or escape her belly easier by filling her up.
7. yes Bella taking your key is annoying but that's the point think about it if you just had an apple it just means you have a get out of jail free card in order to make it so you still don't want to be caught she will eat your key to punish you. and you don't lose it forever you just have to wait for her to burp it out her taking your key is a punishment for being caught so JUST DONT GET CAUGHT. and if you find that hard than that's your skill issue I have beaten Bella mutable times without being eaten you just have to be careful and even so her escape RNG isn't as bad as you think its not an entirely grantee death I once got eaten by her 3 times and escaped each one yeah I was lucky as hell but I took steps to increase my chances and besides its supposed to be against you anyway that's why its to tense its a great feeling.
8. I honestly have no idea what you mean by Bella moving towards your last location usually I don't see her for awhile until running into her later which supports that tense feeling of not knowing where she is. she has the exact same pathfinding as the other students just a bit tweaked with features like being able to hear you and chasing you when she sees you other than that she wanders the exact same way as the other students.
so after all that look your treating Bella like she's some impossible force but look around you almost everyone here in the comment section beat her that fact is you supposedly failing over 100 times says more about your skill than it does about the game. just be more careful check if students are nearby to use as meat shields, try to predict her current location from where you saw her last if you see a student going in the same direction as you stick with them when going around corners listen for footsteps just incase these are the strats I use to stay alive and they work. and its not easy making a game and ghost must of worked really hard to get it out fully in only a month then there you whos complain about almost every feature of the game Bella's sight, Bellas speed, RNG this RNG that when in reality your just having a skill issue thw whole solution to your problem is to just get good. I will admit this game is not perfect I sometimes wish there were more ways to keep the Preds at bay and more items you could use to interact with them though I don't want to pressure any of the devs about this its more of a nickpick if anything if what's already there works it works its still a very fun game and in my opinion one of my favorite vore games. its hard the odds are supposed to be stacked against you that's why its all the more satisfying when you finally win. sorry if this came out a little aggressive I just keep seeing these kinds of complaints and wanted to address them I don't mean to insult you and I'm sorry if I have.
A few of these are most likely skill issues or just poor luck happening repeatedly. I really shouldn't be playing for several hours on no sleep for a few days and slightly drunk, but I'm an idiot who keeps screwing himself. As for the see through walls and tracking my location even when not being chased, I was actually spotted by her despite her being practically behind a corner on the opposite end of the hallway and going upstairs to the washroom and hiding. She honestly should have lost me since I hid in the last stall crouching, but she still ate me. There was one time I was hiding behind a pillar in a room I was in while sneaking immediately open hearing faint footsteps and she entered the room walking right up to me and insta gulped me. No chase, no gasp, just gulped me instantly. I'm pretty sure she isn't supposed to walk towards the player if they are hiding properly and didn't run near her like she has with me more than once. As for the RNG I finally managed to escape her stomach once and if I were to put a percentage based on my fails to success, it would be 0.3% chance. I'm a very unlucky person.
As for her speed being 25% faster then the player. I did test it on a few runs that I got spotted on prepose and did the math. I'm fine with her being faster then the player, but 25% is a bit much for a character who is supposed to be the slowest. 10%-15% instead of 25% faster with her being about 10% slower then the player after gulping a student isn't an unreasonable request. She's just a bit too fast based on what her profile says. and her field of view is a bit ridiculous for such a small map and some hiding spots such as behind pillars don't actually hide the player from the preds Like they should if she decides to check the room you are in after stopping right outside. and as for her becoming increasingly slower I had her eat 2 students and she wasn't much slower than the player. I think it was a minor glitch where she didn't fully register the second prey she ate since her belly only grew to the size of 2 prey after swallowing me.
(Edit) I'm well aware of my luck with apples being that bad since if only 4 spawns for me they are usually all behind locked doors, but if 8 spawn I usually get 3 in non-locked rooms with 1 on the cafeteria and since the kitchen is almost always locked I at least know where one is should I find the key as fer her sight I was sneaking on the opposite side of the hallway I saw and heard her start running despite her not looking directly at me a few times. I do like the game a lot and the apple mechanics are well done, but how long she's sated by them is about 3 seconds which is just too short in my opinion. I've also been pinned in a room by her a few times since she likes standing in doorways after taking my apple.
I see the thing is when shes chasing you is that sometimes shes can be closer than you think so maybe the reason she got you in the stall was because she was right behind you.
I do see what your talking about with her field of view but personally I never encountered any issues with it normally I run into a room and crouch behind the open door and she loses me so that's something you can try
She is supposed to be slower than you when she eats 2 students maybe shes not I always assumed she was due to the fact I was always able to escape her when she had 2 prey.
I will say this some of your criticisms could apply a bit more to another Pred Satie shes the third one you unlock and shes basically Bella on steroids Bella the only Pred affected by the apple trick so Satie will just eat you anyway and shes faster than Bella the only 2 downsides she has is shes has louder footsteps than Bella and can only hold 2 prey instead of 3 I like to think she could hold more but according to her lore she wants to keep her figure so I like to think she holds back her true power shes still very scary but personally I still had fun with her despite this because I just had to be more careful and if your wondering no apples aren't useless now they can still be used to fill saties belly to make escape slightly easier.
as for the other 2 preds there not exactly Bella clones they have things that make them different The fairy is a completely silent Pred with her only sound cue being the gasp when she sees you but she can only hold one prey so feed her a prey and she will leave you alone for awhile. and the lamia is also a silent Pred she does make the sss sound snakes make though but its hard to tell where she is just by that one sound shes large and slow but still can move slightly faster than you to catch you she is the hardest to escape I only escaped her once and she can hold at least 5 students at a time maybe more I don't know the exact number and she gets the other students to snitch on your location I haven't beaten her yet but shes a fun challenge.
Bella I would say shes the second easiest to escape her belly the fairy the easiest though that doesn't mean its easy Satie either has the same or better belly strength than Bella and the lamia has the strongest even with 5 students she digested us all her stomach strength is insane and I love it.
I think part of my problem is I was trying to Metal Gear it, but the small map has little to no hiding spots that actually work and as for the bathroom thing I was far away when I hid, and she got to me after 20 seconds. It was most likely caused by me overusing my laptop or a bug that rarely happens. My mind is clearer now that I am not drunk and got some sleep, so I realize how stupid I sounded. I do think an easy mode for those who are having a lot of trouble like me would be a nice addition or at least lowering how far the preds can see since they can spot you from one side of the map to the other which does make stealth less viable and make the pillars a bit bigger so they can actually hide the player. Maybe Ghost will read this and consider these.
(Edit) She's about the same speed as the player but has better turning and can B-line towards you when she's eaten another student. I think she's supposed to get slower per prey, but it's not working as intended.
Personality I don't try to stealth it I feel like the game is more about getting as much done as possible while taking the measure's to secure yourself like if I can confirm Bella is on the top floor or is at least heading there I will take the opportunity to run to cover more ground and get more done quickly while also being careful around corners I usually follow other students around corners if possible to avoid surprises that's just how I play you can hide from Bella though I would agree that the map doesn't have enough hiding spots but you do at least have enough for her to lose sight of you if you know what to do at least in my experience
