Before all that,I noticed about 5 minutes into the game that I'm pretty sure you're using an AI LLM to generate the speech, and an older one based on the amount of em dashes that are present in the text. Seems like that is your priority number one to fix is you need to write the script or the game will not go anywhere.
First thing is that the game boots in Russian and the language change is nice that it's on the main screen in the yellow box. But not all the text has been translated. On both Diana's and Mark's Social page, their 3 bars, looks like love, friendship, lust are all in Russian still, along with the text at the bottom of their social page. If you are on the SociALL page and you scroll down on a photo it will enlarge it even if you are at the top of the page. The hold text between messages is also still in Russian. When notifications pop up at the top of the screen, it would be a nice QoL to be able to click them and head to that chat, currently it doesn't do that. When you pick "Don't Send" as an option, usually you just wouldn't have a speech bubble.
I gotta say, I kinda like the look of the characters. They have an early 90's sci fi fantasy anime vibe to them. Angled chin, man-eater, fem fatalle FMC and a very pretty boy russian Antagonist/Friend. Even though the MC looks like the angel demon from Chainsaw Man. They are all interesting looking.
There seems to be a decent amount of dead time between sent and received texts even on 3x speed.
Finished in around 20minutes on 3x speed for 1/2 of it.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. I really appreciate the time you took to write it.
You raised many valid points, and I'll definitely do my best to address them.
One small clarification: I assume you played the game in English. That may be why it seemed like the dialogue and writing were generated by an LLM. In fact, I write the entire script myself. I only use an LLM to translate it into English. That said, your observation is still valuable—it just applies to the translation rather than the original writing.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review. I truly appreciate it.
Happy to help.
A phone game without a mobile version. Are you kidding me?
I'll definitely make a mobile version. Thank you very much for your comment.
