@Rebelgirl You caught me. Ha-ha! Yes, the names are certainly influenced by the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, and the surname Lamm in a play on the term “on the lam.” Thanks for your comment and for playing! The below response concerns you as well.
@malinryden I responded to the others about it briefly, but I’ll tell you the same in more depth, Bonnie and other female characters do play big, influential parts in the latter parts of the story, but I can understand a desire not to have to play as a male. I can definitely look into adding a gender option and sexual orientation, as well, considering the interest in it. No promises, but I’ll do my best. It may or may not be super difficult to add some choices in the beginning and make the pronouns through out the rest of the story able to change upon making a gender orientation choice, so we’ll see. I might even add a non gender, alien life form option if it turns out to not be a herculean task (just for fun as it will add to the insanity aspect of the game). I will say that I have another choice story I’ve been thinking of writing called Gone Pockets that is more of a magical adventure, and I will definitely add gender options to that one from the start, as it is less dependent on future sequels like NPT is. For, as I mentioned in another response, I chose to write No Proper Thief because I wanted a prequel to A ZebraFox Games animated RPG production, BLAME, which is slated to come out in the future (few years) through a medium different than a reading game. NPT is stand alone, of course, but the lead character will be a variant of Clyde Lamm in both. I’ve always been a linear short story writer, and have written plenty of stories from the female prospective, and as such I guess in NPT, my first choice based story, it never really crossed my mind.
As for the sprinklers, I see what you mean. It is perhaps my least favorite choice juncture, as well. Not just in the first two chapters, but in the entire story. I believe it is essential that the mask comes off or that Clyde’s identity is revealed somehow at that point to progress the story, but I can give it some more thought and come up with more diverse, perhaps some delayed reveals for the identity incident.
@Crotale Thanks!
@Lobo420 Hopefully you won’t have to wait too long.
@gkkiller Thanks for your interest!
@Zanity Thank you! Very happy to have your support.
@Zeus Thank you! I knew that crime was serious subject matter and wanted to offset the gravity of the scenario with more lighthearted characters and some humor. Glad you enjoyed the humor aspect. 
@reaper95 That’s nice of you to say. Thanks for giving the story a look.
