Thank you so much for the kinds words and for enjoying our game! We try our best to make the game as enjoyable as possible. It definitely shows that Gabe is one of the older parts of the game and we're already planning to rewrite her route slightly, just at least so that her reasoning for friendzoning you makes any sense (and we'll probably add a way to romance her)
That being said, I'm not sure I understood the first point you mention. Could you rephrase it for me?
Sorry for the late reply, but if i recall correctly, when interacting with Gabe, the MC mentions that they should do some research before they help Gabe with their "problem". Implying that theres something more to do for her between interactions, like a book to find or a term to search for in the library. I didnt know if there was something i missed, or if the "research" was in fact the following interactions.
