Why do you not ask to be taken to the hospital immediately, and ask why he didn't do that?
(I'm sure he'd have a good excuse, but it's really weird and unnatural for the mc to not even question it. Anyone can buy a lab coat and pretend to be a doctor, and no town is without a clinic at the bare minimum.)

....kinda sad Tartaglia isn't a love interest.
I like him. ^_^

...after the fence deal, I REALLY like him! :heart:
(The bad ending I mean. lol)

I do not understand how the mc can feel remotely worried about people they just met and expect to leave behind in a few days...

But I suppose if the mc holed themselves up in a room alone and/or kept avoiding people and look for a way out like I would have done, then this wouldn't have been much of a story. lol

...pretty sure if I ever set foot in a church I'd go up in flames. >_>;
Best not to try.

I wish there was an option to NOT help with that part tho. Seriously.

The enter vs leave option is TOO difficult.
I've seen those before, and they're usually hard, but not impossible. It stops being a choice if it's impossible.

Fyi: When you DO manage to hit ANYTHING but Enter, then your game crashes. Might wanna fix that.
(It was a pain in the ass too. I'm a -BIT- pissed off at that so-called 'choice' atm. >_> )
I also broke the game and had to shut it down the hard way.

...and now the game is broken and won't even let me open it anymore. >_<

Pop quiz: IS there a route that lets you leave?

well they do explain that they were going to take you to the infirmary but that it's being used by someone else. it's a small town!

seeing as tartaglia is a teenager and mc is an adult, that's not gonna happen

it's completely normal for to people to worry about someone they just met, even if they plan to leave. that's a pretty common feeling lol

also it's rather silly to wish to avoid a main section of the game, if the game's not for you that's fair, you're not gonna like everything. but how can there be story if you skip the main events

yes it stops being a choice if it's impossible, but that's the point. being unable to resist even if you try. i personally thought it was a cool mechanic that showcased that quite well.

you've left quite a few rude nitpicky comments on yandere vns the past couple days. having opinions about things is fine, but leaving pushy comments on indie devs trying to make art sucks

i don't know if you're just young (and if so, remember these games are usually 18+) or if you're just not used to engaging with artists and game developers, but people simply do not have to take your input on their art and projects. lots of indie devs love feedback and criticism, but only if it's actually coming from someone who actually cares about the project. if your replies are all just "i don't like X, why didn't we do Y, please change Z" then maybe these games just aren't for you.

This may be a culture difference... lol
I have NEVER seen a town small enough to not have at the bare minimum a medical center.

I duknow... what if the mc was 18 and Tartaglia 17?
Could work! ^_^

But I do get the point, all things considered.
Plus his obsession with his gf, so, yeah... *sigh*

Really? *raises an eyebrow* Humans are truly strange creatures...
Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm halfway to sociopathy, so I wouldn't know normal if it hit me in the face.

Depends on the game tho.
In Pact With a Witch there's the exact same type choice where they try and force your hand, but if you outmaneuver it, you get a whole different ending. (I think they had some plans to write a separate path there, but haven't gotten around to it, so they made it a summary end of the path instead.)

I can't know if the mouse forcing, when there is -clearly- a choice, means some force is trying to control your mind and you need to break out of it or not. It's very confusing, and I'm very stubborn --especially about avoiding churches.

It IS a pretty cool game mechanism, but certain overly stubborn readers will try to get out of it anyway I fear. lol

I have very strong opinions, and is not very good at wording my feedback nicely I fear.
The sad thing is that I sound a million times nicer than I used to. lol

And speaking as a writer myself I've gotten a lot of feedback, some of it sounding extremely harsh, far worse than me (especially on my older stories that wasn't as well-written as my newer ones), but I always found it helpful, because how can you improve as an artist if you don't know what you're doing wrong or could do better?

Yupp, totally forever 15. Always have been, always will be. ^_^
But my ID will still get me into any bar, so no worries. :p

The problem with my feedback I think, is that I tend to be very direct and honest when I talk.
And my attempts of joking probably don't sound as funny as it does to me.

It's a work in progress, but I'm working on it.
