As I haven't completed the full game yet, I do want to give my current two cents on the game so far. I really do enjoy many aspects of the story, and spreading out to other characters to get to know them and date them better. However, I do have a couple things about the game that irk me just a bit.

Towards the beginning of the game, the player had the opportunity to move around the map in a 2D Pokemon Black & White style setting, being able to see all around them and find out more about their surroundings. However, I've gotten about... 20 chapters in maybe? And by now, there's no other movement around the map to be seen. I kinda find that disappointing, as it limits some of the choices to be made by the player on who to go with and what to do, despite having those choices in text as well. I would much rather love to see a bit of extra movement choices as well.

As for the story, the characters are built up wonderfully, the storyline makes sense, everything plays out naturally, and I enjoy that out of this game. However, one thing that irks me about the text in this game is that some of the scripting has some sentences spelled incorrectly. I will try to get a screenshot to show what I mean, but with such a professionally built game like this, it's important to have the right spelling set up in the game. I would just say a quick review through the scripts with a second or third set of eyes should help with correcting misspelled words.

Other than that, keep up the good work. I hope to see some animations with this game if you learn or know how to do so!

I think it was mentioned when selecting the exploration setting that it was unfinished! It was recommended to not use it until then.

Thanks for the feedback! It always does help me prioritize features and fixes for the next build and I'm always open to constructive criticism! I'll be honest that I agree with your critiques 100%. Being honest, the 2D pokemon style movement was added in after the fact. The visual novel was never planned on having this feature but after writing the script for so long I was really craving something that let you adventure a little bit so I added this little feature. It did feel a little bare bones to me and I've been hoping to fill that void with some optional scenes to be found within it as well as more movement options, and recently clothes to find, but it's slow going developing those sections. I have my eyes set on that in the future though!

It's wonderful to hear you're enjoying the story as much as you do! I'm super happy about that. And believe me, spelling errors are the bane of my existence. I'll be honest again, I'm pretty bad at spelling but I do like writing (strange I know) so these errors have plagued me for a long time. I've gotten help from one amazing person to proofread the novel, and I've given it a few reads myself, and I can say it's got far far less than it used to have but I won't doubt there are still lots to be found. I'm working my way through reading it again and hoping to find more help on this front too. I'm stoked you called it a professional looking game though! It means a lot to the programmer in me. 

If you find any spelling errors and want to report them to me please do and I'll get them corrected ASAP! I can always be reached here (although sometimes my notifications are funky), or at ScylezStudios@gmail.com

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you had fun <3
