Very well done, a very enjoyable experience. You took a not so normal route of making the women classier. So that even Penny who is presumably meant to have a sluttier appearance retains her sexual appeal and still looks decent. This makes things more realistic in my opinion, and it hits home because of it.
Then there's the romantic angle, which most who play these sorts of games don't care for since they just want to get their rocks off. Which is understandable. It's really nice. I actually care about whether or not something bad happens to a certain someone who "looks like she doesn't belong". And the feeling that this someone has a particular interest in the player is also nice.
The mystery as well, It's got me paranoid as to who could be behind what. And the anime-esque music choice lol, I liked that too. Very well done overall, a worthwhile experience for sure.
However, the more you grow a liking for something, the more worrisome you become for its consistency.
This is your game. Your vision. And not to mention, your generosity that's allowed me to indulge in the experience for free in the first place. I can't tell you how to run your story.
But I figured that you knowing that there's someone out there who enjoys the music selection, the approach taken towards creating the women, and the romance angle. Not to mention the action, amongst other things. That maybe that would serve as a reminder that those things don't go unnoticed, and are well appreciated. And would be missed, just as well.
And with that, that you wouldn't overlook the value of such things whilst in future development.
I know I sound like a neckbeard when I say these things. But this game has genuinely left a lasting impression on me, and if your mission was for me to care for the story and the characters alike, then mission accomplished.
I also understand that the weight of my opinion is of a lower echelon since I haven't made a paying contribution to the project, but I wanted to to try and reach you anyways. In the hopes that seeing my appreciation for such things, would extend their longevity.
Thank you either way, regardless of what you choose to do.
And best of luck.
