Elyot's tendency to repeat himself is a meme :ROFLMAO:

He's getting better though
Lol, one should find themselves hard pressed to suggest him merely repeating himself as an adequate description of his tendencies. Why if that was all it was it would be perfectly common and tolerable. No, Elyot's problem is his need to hold the readers hand as he goes over every tiny nuance of the story he wants to tell rather than trusting the reader to remember what was said 2, 8 and 60-something sentences ago. If i've just seen scene 121, i don't need or want scene 122 to pause and reference it every other sentence just in case i might not understand the context of the next sentence.

He really likes to hold hands, isn't him?

It is kinda fun, because it finally feels like teasing for me.

It really is kind of endearing!

With how young this story is, I am most certainly willing to suspend all pause for the sake of supporting the author and the plot. As far as I am aware, this is Elyot's first work, and that certainly deserves considerable praise for how much he does get right.

But man, dare I say, Elyot loves to hold the reader's hand; nay, entraps them in a bear hug and never lets go :ROFLMAO:

Yo L_Elyot, just wanted to give you a shout out and thank you for helping Deniam with their investigation of a potential VN mode for their game, i had a good feeling when i sent them to you that you'd be good to them cause that's the kind of guy you come across as and i've just heard that that's exactly what you did, rock solid job mate.

i wish there was away to change the first names and last names of the characters. I have trouble pronouncing them. i had to Google translate to figure them out and still kinda have trouble.

URM has a "Renaming" feature.

I tried using that program but don't understand how to use it so i gave up on using that program a long time ago. Now i look for modders or people that has the program already installed and ask for a copy of the mod.

It always confuses me that in the game code nak means Nao Kuno, not Nadeko

I know that I might be getting ahead of myself being I just started playing but does the MC ever get all his memory back?

If I was the Dev, I would show the MC sitting on a bus everytime he takes a bus ride. Also, when he goes to a building, show the outside of the building.

very small issue, not sure if its all music or just a specific song, but it seems to reset to the loudest volume whenever it loops? that or im also going crazy & its not getting louder despite being pretty low, seems great so far besides a few typos, not enough to ruin the experience, but enough to warrant leaving a comment if nobody else has mentioned it

so im playing linear mode
It was mostly text. I played in linear mode to follow the story.
im playing in linear mode too, & trust me sandbox wouldve been worse, sure being able to choose might sound like the better option, but for these in development games, as i assume you well know, it either means grinding or repeating a minor event until you get enough affection, points, whatever, to continue story, & again as youve noticed this game is in development, if you mean it lacks h scenes, thats basically how it works for some games, some are going to world build at the start, otherwise the only thing people remember are 5 minute sex scenes, & then uninstall the game because thats all it had, im enjoying it so far, sure not much is happening, but i much prefer a slower burn just because while all these games might never finish for decades, some are pretty good quality. if i want a quick nut i can find a game thats been developed that way, or just find some actual porn. either way some times these games end up being abandoned which sucks because to me an unfinished product is a shame, though i hate bad endings even more. its nice that every once in awhile you get the choice of a linear option, because an open mostly empty repetitive world isnt as fun
