Hello Ghost!
Your game is fantastic. I played the demo since about 3 weeks ago and am excited to have purchased the full game. I've been keeping a close eye on this page for updates!
My favorite predators are of course Bella and Ligeska. Bella is naturally very beginner friendly with the apple mechanic. I like that they aren't fast and of course can swallow multiple prey. I know Ligeska has a mechanic wherein students may reveal your location to her, I'm curious how it works. Do all the predators have weight gain like Bella?
My least favorite was Satie due to her high speed. She was the hardest predator for me, which made her not feel as fun as the others.
Nightmare mode is truly a challenge, but I wish it included more than 2 other starting students since I love how the predators actually chase anyone on sight. More students, more prey, more fun.
So far I can play as Bella. Besides the novelty of it, is there any benefit to swallowing another student? I understand she has high volume which increases her resistances to digestion while swallowed. I enjoy playing with the predators as fellow students and was pleasantly surprised when one swallowed me. The sadistic side of me wishes they would get hungrier quicker and maybe even act on their hunger (rather than me having to be next to them).
I understand you mentioned being done with updates for now. I am grateful for your past bi-weekly schedule of releasing updates. I think this game would benefit even more with a 'sandbox' mode, allowing the player to customize the level, such as:
- starting number of students
- number of predators
- stat adjustments (movement speed, digestion rate, etc)
Those are just some basic examples.
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback, I look forward to what you do. All the best.
