Receptivity is a short game which is more a story than a game. It's also very linear and there isn't a lot of choices to make.
I don't really know what to say else, so I'll go straight for the points I think deserve attention.
- The title of the game seems to be actually "receptivity" without capital R. Where is the mistake?
- You really want to check the door when the character leaves work.
- So you can take the bus only by interacting with one of the two tiles on which the bus stop is present? At first, I thought it was because you wanted the player to access it by the opening which could have been a nice detail. But it fell flat when I noticed you could also access the bus stop by the side.
- The "It's getting late. I should get a place to stay." event. You can trigger it multiple times by moving up and down at the border. You might want to try avoiding that, this is unnecessary. Maybe every time the player is "trying to leave", but not every time the character makes a step in the wrong direction.
- Speaking of which, there is not this message for the North path? Why? And also some signs can be interacted with and some that are visually identical cannot? Without explanations? That's a clear case of lack of consistency.
- When the character enters the house, the door visually closes in front of her before she gets teleported inside.
- If you insist a bit to go upstairs, the character can basically walk on the ceiling. If you really didn't wanted this to happen, you could have just make the character go back downstairs instead of just turning it away.
- OMG! I disintegrated her! (The same thing happens if she is interacted with from the left too.)
- Interacting with her from the right and decide to hold her hand, the game softlocks. (The cutscene is a little weird when interacted from the left, but the game doesn't softlock.)
- Something less easy, but if there is no use for save files, you might want to try to get rid of the "Continue" option on the title screen.
- Now I want to know... WHO KILLED THE FIRE? RESPOND!
*hem* Anyway, this is all I have to say. I think it could be nice if there were more polish and maybe an... actual game in all this. Like... I know visual novels are a thing... But even in that domain, Receptivity (or receptivity?) falls flat. On top of that, there is a clear lack of quality check: there is inconsistencies, characters disappear for no reason when interacted with from a certain position and a softlock near the end that could have easily been fixed.
Verdict: Receptivity is very very flawed and would have required a lot more care. Now, don't let this get to you the wrong way. I know I pointed out a lot of negative points, but this is what constructive criticism is made for. Pointing out the wrong so you can eventually get things better. You have a great artist on your side, the artwork she did is splendid. But to me, that's not enough.
I wish you to improve your skills and eventually come back with a better project or maybe an enhanced version of Receptivity/receptivity where it will be... more than it actually is.
Good luck!
