Yeah, I have that, too with the switch of pronouns. If you choose a female dog it was one time referred as a "he". Chris is referred to as "they" several times.

I really love Cam and everything feels really fluid and over all satisfyingly balanced!

I have an issue though with the ex. I decided to make them an ex-friend and I don't get their reasoning. How can a simple friend feel such deep betrayal for the MC getting together with Chris? I get why we got no direct reasoning in the demo for the suspense alone but sadly with the choice for them to be no ex whom MC had a relationship with it kinda....irks. After the confrontation I was seriously thinking "wtf is their problem with MC and why ist it automatically narrated through MCs thought process that we feel guilt??" The last bit regarding the guilt felt forced upon the reader... No friend would turn to such extremes on a friendship simply cause they hate the partner? I believe there is a good explanation for it. Still. With what limited information WE currently got with the demo that whole affair feels...i dunno how to describe it. Before I was so throughouly invested in the story and then I was kinda kicked Out of this trance, If you get what I mean. It was a tad bit confusing.

Sorry that I needed so much words to deliver what I meant, hope it conveys what I meant to say.

And don't get me wrong, I was one of the first lurkers to your Tumblr account, I anticipated this demo for a long time and I truly love everything about it to pieces. The described situation above irritated me cause Im autistic af and have a hard time not knowing why someone hates me/ has a problem with sth I did - it deeply concerns me and that results to overthinking -and it kinda always bleeds through my reading experience in interactive fictions 😅 As one can guess I tried several times to reach a sliver of understanding...to no avail.

I love how strong Cams character was portrayed, If I had to choose what I enjoyed the most in your story it would be that. He just feels so complex and...well, real. Simply amazing work! 

I loved the route of Cam even before the demo, you delivered this expectation and more. Repect. Not many interactive fictions can do that and captivate their readers like that. 

To add to this if you select the flirt options with the "ex friend" choice prior it is worded as though you were in a relationship previously and I think that is how the ex friend without the flirting comes off as well, it reads like there was an invested romantic relationship that the MC potentially cheated on as opposed to friends. That being said I did enjoy the game so far but I agree with the OP that this particular thing feels off. As does the shirt with Cam even if you are his size lol
