I like the writing style here and I'm interested to see where this story goes, though I quickly started to resent every single one of the characters, including the MC. It gets pretty grating to have the MC constantly showing how angry and upset they are, only to have all of the other characters constantly chide and belittle them for it. I would appreciate some options that are a little more cold or unemotional, maybe some options that allow them to use some coping mechanisms they've developed to control themself? Since they're a trained agent, it seems a little weird that they don't seem to have any self control whatsoever. The drawn out descriptions about how sad, wet, pathetic little Rohan looks every time you say anything mean make it feel like the MC is being forced to feel bad for them - I don't know if that was intentional. I very much appreciated the option to flat out kill Rohan (the only sane option imo, but to each their own).
I'm agree about Rohan. When we belittle him, the narration makes us feel like we just kick a skinny little puppy 😂 I kinda like to do it to him, but it also makes me feel bad. But still like it 😂
Ayo dropping in to say i'm digging this game a lot!! Don't bother with these bozos lecturing you about how to write it, how to tag it and circle jerking about terms for warnings xd They clicked the spicy option themselves, consensually, and had like 3 chances to chicken out, even. They're acting like you're forcing them to take Rohan's route. Don't like it don't click it, this game is not commissioned privately by anyone to decide what goes in it.
Ikr? I don't want to be mean, but I will anyway 😂 there's people in this community that TOO DEMANDING to fit their comfort. People who just can't fathom the consequences of their choice. It's like mad that a horror movie had ghosts in it or amputee porn of having amputated character.
(I'm not writing this to judge people who have sensitive case like trauma, but one consensually choosing something they wouldn't like and still complaining)
This game is so enjoyable! Love it when MC is strong and can kick ass fr. The plot is also special and intriguing, there's still a lot to uncover and yet I'm already invested.
Rhaxa and Nash are my favs rn. Rhaxa specifically, I adore them (I wanna try petting an alien so bad)
I don't particularly care about the others (althou I dislike them all except for Skylar) but Rohan pissed me off so bad, I absolutely despise him. He said it wasn't anything personal but the way he kept taunting and smirking is just asking for death fr. MC already suffered enough and yet he's still going at it, and everyone expects MC to 'play nice' just for, what, that jerk's so-called useless help? Idk why theyre always judging MC when it's absolutely valid to want to attack Rohan. What he did is not some small matter that should be brushed off, it feels absolutely violating to be drugged and operated on, and yet everyone acts like it's no big deal which made me mad af. I wanted to shoot him but idk if that would make me lose the chance to get IVI back so I punched him instead. Wish I could shoot him later thou bcoz I'm not tolerating his ass. Don't know why he's even an RO, idc what reasons he has, what he did and the way he acts after is absolutely vile and sickening.
was coming to see if there’s any word on an update then saw the comments are an absolute fucking cluster. wouldn’t even blame the author if they ghosted atp.
Honestly with all the criticisms in the comments I was expecting more of a bite to this IF lol
Overall I like it I actually think the companions can be quite nice in their own ways despite reading comments saying their only mean - like Nash off the bat is a sweetheart - in the beginning Leanna is just trying to work things out in the moment to survive so she comes off as "harsh" but literally right after Rohan is being a prick (which they fully send him off as to break off the tension) she comes to the MC and directly shows cares for how they feel
The alien (sorry can't remember their name) is stand offish but it's shown they clearly have a good heart 1) because their being hunted/exiled from their kind and 2) they show a clear care for joia's whole being and they even explain their reasoning for not trusting us at the start which the MC shares mutually back because their an alien lol
I like Rohan as a character I think he's the foil to the MC and it could be the Luka alien stage lover in me but I like that bit of toxicity - I recall seeing a comment asking why anyone would ever romance him and its the same reason people play IF where you can be a murderer/villain - and as a sidenote I felt like the whole "surgery" and forced tranquilizer was way more traumatizing then the intercourse (but maybe its diff if you dont choose to sleep with rohan I'll have to see)
I love your story so much , I am currently replaying. Again.
I missed this whole ordeal regarding the outrage some have 'cause of Rohan and the content warnings and such and am...kinda confused. Everything that happens in this story was properly warned of? Well, but I get that the way the MC is treated can be triggering for certain people -especially cause its kinda easy to forget that the MC is indeed first and foremost a dubious character -not by choice I guess, but its still there. In my second playthrough where I played a kinda kind MC I was kinda confused, too -kept forgetting the background of this person 😂 one isn't suddenly a good person just because Joia bought some specks of kindness to the surface of the MCs deformed soul 🫠
My favorite thing in this IF ist how...deep the trauma of the MC is. Well written. It's not the typical way a person with trauma is depicted and I LOVE it! It's such a treat to read ❤️
Im so invested, even after all this time!
In a sea of interactive fiction this one is imprinted in my mind while many others tend to disappear in the background after one playthrough.
Congrats to that, its not easy to achieve and definately sth to be proud of.
You are doing great, I really appreciate how you handled the harsh accusations in one of the other comments on here. Respect, its certainly not easy to handle a triggered person with trauma -and thats a compliment coming from someone that works daily with deeply traumatized people.
I am so intrigued how your story will progress ✨ Can't wait for the update 🥰

love this game! hope the author isn't discouraged by people who can't handle characters more problematic than wile e. coyote

REALL I FUCKING HATE ROHAN TOO
OHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! IT'S SOOOO GOOOOD <3

need more Joia bonding scenes !!

Lmao, I thought of that too. Rohan just gives Luka vibes—their appearance is also similar to Luka. 😭
