there isn't much to comment on yet, but the music was good

i don't think you're going to be able to have your cake and eat it when it comes to making a game about doing cute things but it also lets you slap boobs and strip the girl down to her underwear. it seems like two different audiences are being conflated just because they both potentially like anime girl games

if this is a game about building a relationship with a virtual character then i think there needs to be more of a scenario instead of just an avatar you leave idle to unlock customization; it should be 'My Virtual Senpai' or 'My Virtual Co-worker' or something, and it should be implicit that -she- needs a friend because her mood/room/whatever else improves as you interact with her. just a thought

Thanks for giving it a go!

The music was the main reason I made this honestly, because I just wanted an easy way to have background noise for my brain that I can just have on 24/7 (with the added bonus that all the music is royalty free so I can use it in my livestreams).

You're right about the identity crisis of being cozy vs 18+, and this will probably one of the first things I'll rework. The goal was never to make a gooner game, it was just one of the easiest things to implement and figure out my code. I actually like the suggestions of My Virtual Co-Worker as well.

I'll be putting more depth into the management part, where the character can indeed be happy, sad, bored, sleepy,... because I think that's the better move here.

Anyways, thank you for giving your thoughts, it helps me a lot, especially at this stage in development where I'm not really sure what direction to go myself.
