Extra comment:

Not bad for an RPG. Pretty solid gameplay but I felt the narrative was long-winded at the beginning. You probably should shorten the introduction. The artwork for scenes were decent; matches the in-game graphics and suits the game. Audio were just the typical default music source so while it’s nice, it isn’t original and you could try crafting your own sound files to help in immersion. So far so good, just keep at it.

Very nice game! Although I didn’t expect the nudes scenes ahahaha the overall game was good and enjoyable. A few lag issues and bugs that slow the game when I exit the menu screen so I think that’s the only thing that needs fixing so far. Good job!

Didn’t experience any lag, maybe it’s the specs? Otherwise, a decent game.

HARAM!!! Just joking, it was ok game. The only issue I has is the instruction, like not too clear because later got some buttons that I didn’t know about because not mentioned in tutorial. Was good game though.

Extra comment:
Overall the game is good. I like how the game gives you options such as wanting to do the tutorials or not. It helps beginners to start playing. My concern is the frequent amount of enemies that shows up too much. Maybe you could lessen down on that part?  Also I want MY CHARACTER to be in the game.


Overall, a majority of Users find the game enjoyable and worthy of an actual game development. Most are satisfied although they are some bug issues that have to do with the load order of the scripts and most commonly, the driver of the users comp. So far, it's going good for my game and it's coming around quite well.
