Just recently arrived and played your games.
As a fan of creative works like VNs, you should do what helps you achieve your goal.
As a player, I'm scared by these sort of things. I want the best results obviously but it doesn't always work out.
Please be careful going forward, and good luck. I really want to play this game and others when they are finished. MELTING POINT for example, even if it is a long shot.
P.s. I also hope you keep the older one, this version of the game up, it is fun and like comparing old and new versions.
