Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I enjoyed it!
Gold!

I appreciate the glossaries you included in the stats screen. A lot of games just assume you understand everything that’s happening which I find frustrating. Especially when it comes to what the stats actually do. Though I noticed you left out the explanation for discretion, freedom, and deception.
-
Not a big fan of the way the stats work. The stats only go up a tiny bit at a time, then when we get to the point in the game where we choose how we bettered ourselves we end up losing other stats for the sake of raising one. Also we don’t get the little message at the bottom that tells us what was raised/decreased for that part.
-
I keep being referred to as a man, even though I picked female at the beginning. Example:
“It won’t give me any quarters. You the new guy? The one Day-Day hired?”
“That’s me. Name’s Jordan. How much in quarters were you trying to get?”
-
After seeing the man die, we are asked if we want to talk about it with our lover. If we pick either of the no options it just keeps looping back to the original question (if we want to confide in our lover)
-
If I decide to cover Joe’s shift it’s basically impossible to survive the man with the shotgun- I always died. Even with an influence of 67% I can’t talk him down. What’s worse, I have to lie about the situation either way. I can’t call for backup or anything else, my only choices if I don’t confront him are to say there wasn’t a disturbance/I took care of the disturbance. Both of those choices take away big percentages on my stats.
-
At the beginning of the last chapter we can either sneak or run by some women. When I chose sneak, I got the second half of the running dialogue after I spoke to them: “You start jogging again to maintain the pretense of the original sprinting” (I was never sprinting, I was sneaking)
-
The ending… I get killed by Victoria and my lover dies no matter what I do. Is this the only possible path? And Blond was killing people over a dream? What?
Some suggestions:
-
A content warning. There’s violence (gore), sexual content (rape), and slurs (the f-word).
-
In the story we’re always puking or reeling when we see gore. Maybe it doesn’t have that sort of affect on us? I think we should be able to choose how we react.
-
An option to be single. We could live with someone other than our bf/gf, like a roommate or family member.
That’s about all I got right now. Overall I had fun and liked the humor you peppered in. Brawn Stamos the uncle Jesse themed crossfit is definitely a favorite!
