Hi! I hope you don’t mind me asking but I never knew that Cogdemos was accessible for blind people more than itch, I’m curious on how that’s the case, and in general how do you go about playing IFs?

It was fun to play. I mostly just fooled around hiding my real power. No one better threaten my sister or it’s a death sentence. That boy who saw in a vision isn’t smart if he came alone lol, what was he expecting.

The problem with that is they only view each as siblings even if MC is overprotective sometimes. It’s just going to be weird seeing as she basically raised MC even when her mother came back. Some things aren’t meant to be. I could understand why you want it. This is just my opinion

I’m not the person who wrote it, but blind people use screen readers that allow them to use cell phones or computers.

Interesting premise but pacing is a bit frenetic and so much is just not developed. Even from the first choices, you pick your mothers eyes and your fathers… list of colors which I assume is hair but doesn’t say, nor does it clarify as you just pick a color and it goes unacknowledged directly into more narrative. Idk, it feels like a commercial, and is a good commercial with nice highlights, but we need the in between to really buy in to the characters and world. A great start but I would encourage you to explore/expand the plot and character development so we can establish sufficient back-stories/motivations to propel us forward.

I’ll try to improve the story in my free time, but these days I’m a little busy and as I promised I’ll also be busy updating the story every week for my patreons so it may take a while before the already written scenes will be rewritten.

Still I’m aiming to complete this goal within a month.

Okay, the writing is a bit… rough. At the start there’s a heart emoji/emoticon in the dialogue, the option when you choose your hair color doesn’t even specify that this choice is FOR your hair color, there’s some grammar/dialogue I’d take another look at to try cleaning up and making it more readable, etc. I think a proofreader or maybe a partner helping you to structure things would go a long way.

I do like overpowered protagonists, and Xianxia stuff is interesting to me so I played through but there are some thoughts I’d like to share.  
The morality in the game is pretty black and white, with you either being a very nice saint or absolute psychopath with very little middle ground. Some examples being to save two children from being kidnapped by a creepy man and some other guy or… ignore them to boost evil- no option to just help them purely to shut everyone up or use it simply as an excuse to kill then leaving the kids alone (if you wanted to be evil, just with limits like not hurting kids)  
Save the old lady from drowning for a large boost to good, or just… sit and watch for evil.  
There’s not much middle ground. I want to be a cocky asshole, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to kill some creep that’s actively talking about lopping a little girl’s limbs off, y’know?  
I also sorta struggle to retain names, since characters kinda fade in and out without much development or time getting to know them. I can barely recall anyone beyond Ruohan, and I don’t even think she’s an RO.

agreed it’s way too black and white would love more neutral options. i love to be a cocky asshole that’s just on the edge of both. I do love the options to hide your true strength tho love just fighting on their level.
