Hi, glad you like it. Yeah, I'm trying to bring deeper gameplay than is usual for the genre.

Yeah, unfortunetly games can get false positives from antiviruses when they are not sent to a verification firm to be placed on a "safe list". Thankfully these are rare, because there is no way I could pay for that for every demo/early access release.

Glad to see the dificulty curve working as intended, thanks for the feedback.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you liked it.

Responding to the observations:

-The mechanics you describe are intentional, input is always welcome in grading the difficulty, though.

-Common problem I hadn't yet chosen a solution for as of this demo. Will raises your resistance, but that can be bad in excess if the partner is low level. I implemented a button to lower it at will that will be in future releases

-Also fixed and will not be present in future releases, but for this one Alt+Enter does fix it.

-Yes, most actions have some boost from CHA, but talk ones are affected most.

PS:Many of the game systems have been rebuilt in a more iterable way since this demo, which is why I can't bring future fixes back to it.

You can just unclick the button of the screen you have open. The build I have right now also has a more obvious "BACK" button so this lack of clarity will be adressed in future releases.

Thanks for the feedback.

At this point I'm doing character commissions to fund development, this means the final game will take longer but more of these short form stories will be made available for free in the meantime.

When the final release comes, yes. Though I'll probably have it here first.

Thanks : )

Apparently uploading through itch's "butler" program can fix this. I have done that. If you'd like to try again now please let me know if it fixed it. (If not maybe doing it through the itch app does)

Yup, done.

Thanks, glad you like it ^_^

To be clear I have no doubt that it would not harm your PC in any way, I'm just saying I understand if you don't take my word on that : P

Though it would be pretty bumb to post a virus to a site that has all my personal data to process payments.

Thanks ^_^

Idk about endless mode because I want players to try different builds for each run, but the full game will of course have a lot more time to build your stats. Right now I'm working on comms that will ad more partners.

Thanks : )

Sorry to hear that. While pretty uncommon it is a potential problem with Game Maker Studio games and the only solution they offer is to pay a company to autfenticate the executable, something that I can't afford to do for early access builds.
I'm sure there are ways to exclude it from your antivirus, but it would ne very fair that you would not to want to do that.

An installer is pretty much always going to ask for that. It's trying to create the game files in your computer, that requires admin permission.

Thanks, glad you like it ^_^

It is technically possible but probably something I'd only do for the final game, sry.

This is just a system demo. I am currently workinf on game commissions within this system. A full game will come afer that adapting the systems and assets created for the comms.

Glad you like it ^_^

The full game will be much longer and have you reach higher stats. NG+ is planned, but lot letting you carry full stats over, just some rewards that can make progress faster next time, similar to some roguelikes.

Thanks ^_^ Hope you like it when you do.

Thanks, glad you like it : )

Thanks ^_^

There is a lot more coming up.
