Thank you very much for the feedback, Kuokamana. Truly appreciated.

I'm glad you enjoyed the concept and the visuals, and let me address the concerns you raised.

Please note that the version available to you is a "proof of concept" version of the actual VN. That is, it has the sole purpose of letting you get a feel of what's to come, not really experience the following builds.

The VN is more novel than game. You will not be bombarded with choices, but when you do get to make a choice it will count, and will have huge influence on how your  journey unfolds. The choice you refer to, and all other choices you've seen and haven't seen yet, do show you different things and count towards your journey as of build 1 to come.

You will follow one main character throughout the novel. What you've seen in the PoC build was day 1 of a very long journey. You will continue to experience the novel through several characters for a few more days, but before long you will experience things through the eyes of the VN's male protagonist.

Istanbul (not Constantinople) is a serious story with dozens of characters. Each of which will have their own personality, mannerisms and views on life. These views are what you will see when a certain character is speaking or behaving. Therefore, if you see a professor in Istanbul University testing one of his students, you can pretty much expect the point of view of a Turkish professor.

This is not a politically correct VN. It's a story on opposing and conflicting points of view and ways of life. Eventually, you'll be experiencing the whole thing through the eyes of Turkish, American and nationals of many countries, each with their own views and biases, all of which are expressed as a matter-of-fact for the character in question.

Thanks again for your feedback, and keep 'em coming.

Thank you Erized for your questions. That's the kind of feedback I need to be able to clarify things further. I went ahead and added the replies to your questions to the VN's synopsis. Keep me updated with your opinions and feedback.

"In the first chapter you get to run the story as multiple characters, male and female. Gradually though, the story gets to unfold from a male character's perspective, with 3 possible romance options.

Istanbul (not Constantinople) includes no nudity, sex animations or gay love, although it tackles different perspectives on straight, homo and bi sexuality in general. The visual novel also tackles political issues, king makers and many more non mainstream topics. I will take into account any particular topics you, my supporters, would like to include as well. Just drop me a line with an issue you think should benefit from a different point of view."
