I really enjoyed this, and unlike other text games, I am interested in most of the romance choices. Most of the time, and even in visual novels, there might be one or two I am interested in. Cannot wait till this is finish. Also I will say of how this last demo ended with us about to take that test, I am a little annoyed it ended there. I wanted to complete it and ace to show even though my character cannot do whatever one else can, she will still be a complete badass.

Thank you for writing such an amazing story! 
I love the concept of the story, the characters Iāve met so far (yes, even Satan), and I love your writing style!
Whenever I have super-power choices, I never go with the mental powers cause I find them less intriguing than physical powers. But holy I love your take on mental psychics so much!
I cannot be more happy with the idea that I can be both morbid and hilarious, which is something hard to do for most stories that uses opposing stats for personalities. I cannot wait to spend more time with Sally and Nick! Looking forward to future updates!

Sorry about the abrupt ending! 
I wanted to make sure the assignment wasnāt being introduced confusingly/boringly before coding the 2 dozen ways of completing it. Itās easier to rework major issues with smaller sections before writing more than it would be to redo the whole unsuccessful shebang.
Thank you so much! Ments are way less exciting than usual superheros (I agree; who would want to read minds if they could fly instead? Or control lightening? Or talk to dogs?) Psychic abilities have also always felt lowkey horrifying to meātheyāre either invasive by nature (telepathy, empathy, or remote viewing) or potentially depressing to possess (precognition). Telekinesis is the only unilaterally cool one, so I nerfed it (sorry Gray).
Looks like you need to buff up your Pollard score, bc some ad agency is obviously reading your mind

Actually forgot I was reading a WIP there for a minuteā¦ and was super disappointed when it ended.
Great job, love the story and the characters so far. Canāt wait to see where you go with this and also to beat glitch during the test.

I found this demo about a week ago and forgot to leave a comment but I really like the whole idea of playing the character and not actually being the real main character. I played a moreā¦moody character who at one point wasnāt in the best place due to their abilities and was wondering if Kent/Kenna can sense that? Or do they try not to read peopleās emotions regularly?
I really like this demo, I hate how itās a cliffhanger though.

So, i randomly started thinking about the ways to impress Rosy in the assignment and I recall you gave some examples of the solutions like with high innovative stat you can untangle some cords or you can bribe Glitch to throw the assignment with an avocado toast. And the MC can also persuade Glitch to take the L with enough points in interpersonal. (canāt find the post that stated this, sorry 
)
I wonder if thereās going to be a way to succeed while relying on the interpersonal stat while following the guidelines of the assignment? Or not ācheatingā, essentially. Although I think the persuasion is still using the MCās skill so the win is still earned (kinda?), I want my MC (whose best stat is interpersonal) and Sally to be able to win against Glitch and Nox fair and square.

Question: Just how deep does a mentās abilities reach into the mind of the main character? Can a ment only read/hear surface thoughts? Can they delve into our characterās subconscious and learn things about us that perhaps we ourselves didnāt know? Or does it fall somewhere in between?
Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else.

This is the post from earlier in the thread that might have your answer.
In another post the author did disclose something along the lines that involuntary invasion of the MCās mind could cause harm if someone were to try ādigging deeperā. Even ments as powerful as Nick would have difficulty with a ānormalā mind to work with, forcing entry probably wouldnāt end well.

Hey, loved the demo and the premise. Its great that more people are interested in telepathy rather than those other superpowers like flight or pyromancy. Just wanted to ask if powerful ments could mind control or make the non ments highly susceptible to suggestion or something? Because the part about the bad parents-MC relationship gave me a vibe of parents mind controlling the MC as a child not to cry or to stop tantrums and that the MC doesnāt like them because of this.

Iām happy people are liking the demo! That being said, I donāt think itāll be possible for me to ever really break off at a point that isnāt a cliffhanger, especially as the story continues. I genuinely thought I was cutting off at a pretty low-drama point
. . . Yāall are going hate me for Chapter 3. Sorry in advance.
You mention ācheatingā. But Aeon wants strategists who think outside the box. Or room. Be wary of assuming restrictions that havenāt been stated.
Thereās one line that touches upon how Ments can hurt norms (I think itās locked in one of the ASE answers). Basically, Ments canāt enter a non-Mentās head without permission (Button being the exception). Sometimes mental entry can be demanded at gunpoint, however, or earned via deception. Once a Ment is inside . . . well, thereās a reason that Ment criminals are dangerous enough to have a global organization dedicated to fighting them, and several reasons why that organization only uses Ment agents. Itāll all be addressed in future chapters.
(Apologies for questions I didnāt answer, but I canāt ruin all the surprises 
)

This is such an intriguing concept, Iām loving this already. You have such a great voice when youāre writing and it just draws me in. I love that Buttonās dialogue and inner thoughts change based on their confidence, humor or morbidity stats. So many authors just use stats as choice tools that barely affect the MC and the people around them, but your way of incorporating the stats is so effective. Itās fantastic, keep it up!
