Hi, thanks for liking the game! The game will continue in developement for quite a while, so worry not about that.
As for your questions, nice, I enjoy taking these more lore based. Here are my answers:>Vanessa is Alice's mother, it's a bit implicit but I'm not really sure well I managed to convey that, her relationship with the MC will be explained when she's added to the game
>Technically, yes, making a crystal out of the MC's spell would serve somewhat the same as applying continuous hypnosis; thing is, it'd be a watered down version of the gadgets, basically serving only for girls that are already controllable, and considering that the MC doesn't really know how to make those, it's a really inefficient method (even more after getting either the chip or the pendulum).
