This game surprisingly wasn't that bad, I was surprised by the storyline and how it was actually engrossing. But a few things I noticed that I think would be good to take into account moving forward.

1) There was no mention at ALL anywhere on this page that this game had any horror aspects to it. And the topics revolving the horror aspect are fairly dark too. I was not expecting the jumpscares at all when they happened. I'm not super happy with horror being forced onto me without my knowledge first. Either: a) tag/advertise this as a romance/horror or (b) give a warning at the beginning of the game, as well as an option to disable that feature (as long as it's not relevant to the story).

2) The minigame. I don't have the best hand-eye coordination, but the minigames were seriously buggy/laggy. Even when I'd press the key as it hovered over the symbol, it wouldn't go through and my streak would disappear. Sometimes I don't even think it would count altogether. Also, it was ridiculously hard, even after playing it like 5+ times. Maybe include an option in the settings to select the difficulty level of the minigames? That way it'll feel more accessible. Or maybe offer different variety of minigames in case some people don't like rhythm games like that? I'm not a huge fan but that's not the main issue.

3) The game itself was kinda laggy, and it was hard to know what things I should click on to interact with. It wasn't always super clear. And the magnifying glass in the corner was helpful, but even when I'd click on things I'd have to try 2-3 times. 

4) Someone had mentioned this in the comments, but including "Dark Skin" as a theme/feature to be included in future updates? This is extremely problematic and ignorant. This comes across as a huge fetishization of dark skin people, which is already still a huge issue in today's climate. I'd really recommend either deleting that from your list of "themes". It's not a theme to feature or something to desire in such an objectifying way. And as a dark skin person myself I find it a little gross. Having a variety of skin tones among a cast of characters should be a norm anyways. 

I paid the $5 donation but it's the same as the public version? I'm frustrated and wish I could get my money back. Now I know to read reviews/comments before doing anything else. Feels like a rip off but whatever. Does this mean that when the game is finished I'll still have to pay for it? 

I wasn't able to get it to work on my Mac. i ended up using my work laptop, which is a windows, and played it on there. Though I didn't want to say anything and double post. 

So I downloaded the file so I could play chapter 2. I moved my save files over from my old one to the new one but for some reason it's just stuck on the loading screen? I tried downloading a new game without switching my saves but it still wouldn't open. I'm not sure what to do? I have a Mac btw!
