Thank you so much for your feedback and thanks for reporting the bugs. I know it's annoying to become a playtester if you just want to enjoy something (I have the same problem when I play games from itch haha), but it is really difficult to get playtesters when you're a solodev with no budget. I tested the game countless times myself of course, but you tend to do things always the same way when you're doing it over and over again.
I was a little scared to watch but I really enjoyed your video, you seem like a really chill dude! A few points:
- you're right that the zucchini should go in the fridge :D I will try to make it more clear where the stuff goes.
- you read the first note but didn't take it. You're the second person to do that so I should probably disable the option to put it back :D
- I'm not entirely sure what bug you encountered. There was a bug that let you use the protocol book after the fire altough it should not have. I hope that's it, because I fixed that.
- it's probably frustrating to have to start all over again after forgetting to close the door etc. I will build a save system that resets you to the start of the night at least
- You should not be able to go to the basement until you give the meds. I fixed that as well. It's a little weird to have two different buttons to interact with things altough you never really need it. I'm gonna work on that. When you give the meds after taking the note the progression is bugged.
- I'm so fucking happy that you looked in the clients files to investigate who called. You're right though that there should have been some guidance for that, at least mentioning the client files
- the idea when nothing's happening was originally to build some tension until the next phone call or whatever event. But it does get boring when you really have nothing to do. I'm planning to implement a little handheld with a 2d game or something. Also more stuff to interact with and read. A little more flexibility with the tasks, which you do first etc. is a good idea. There is no good reason to not do the dishes whenever you feel like it or nothing else is happening. I'll keep that in mind. The idea with the checkboxes is also cool.
I'm also really happy that you liked it despite all the annoying things! :)
I uploaded my game using butler and it just seems to dissapear after it tells me that the upload is complete. I tried this multiple times yesterday, always with the same result.
