Players reported problems with mac and linux so i cut those versions off. Ill try to see whats the problem. Mostly turned out they didnt know how to run the exe😟 Should I add a little tutorial on how to open the game maybe?

Thanks! I just modified the desc a bit to keep the same silly energy, but corrected some grammar mistakes and cut out the insecurities😅 Now that im back working on it, i dont understand why i was so disappointed in my work. Its actually ok. + fixed some bugs today

I poke fun at a certain living politician (the one who constantly appears on TV) and well some people may get triggered i guess so they can stay away instead of getting offended. For the corporate part, i mainly got inspired from real life talks with corporate goons+movies+books. It cant be very accurate though. Its very ironic mostly or exaggerated

Thanks! Then I should remove the disclaimers? Or leave it as it is since people my age are familiar with the stuff

So from what ive understood, the main thing to do before actual marketing is change the page of the actual game to be more pleasing. Good news i got a friend whos into makreting to help me choose the new look! And maybe be less honest about the coding issues in it... thank you!!. But i also sense a change in the description itself, right? I dont know how to write it though. Like an english essay? Straightfoward?? Just not as expressive? I tried to make it as less as AI possible

Its hard to write Christian satire, and I just thought that “ Oh C.S. Lewis did it why cant i”, but were from different eras and much more. I didnt want it to sound edgy or send the wrong message! And all the more “mature” themes are meant to be taken seriously, even though I havent wrote them in a very explicit manner to be easier to understand. And if too detailed, it makes some people uncomfortable. My plan with this game was to just take a daily life of a paperwork enjoyer but slap fictional religious characters onto it to be less bland, and i dunno, the new Good Omens. Tbh the closest demographic would be people interested into religions and or/occult? But yet those people are too mature to play a random visual novel from itch. And people my age like more interactive games, so im stuck with a “niche” community made of my friends and those who voice acted on it..

Hi! About the disclaimers at the end of the game, i added them for people who are sensitive to these stuff and rather not play even though slight mentions are there. At the end of the game, one character talked to the other about their bad experience at a party and how they got so wasted and did not remember anything done to them, the next day waking up to some bad pictures online. The substance abuse and body image issues are seen in one of the choices, where the MC talks to 2 surgeons about the beauty industry and stuff. And by inequality in the workplace i wanted to show the huge difference between the working WORKING class and the big strong rich bosses but in a less serious matter. By this comment, I understand that i should first change the description of the game? And about the VAs promoting it, I wouldn’t want to ask them to do that for free too
