Meh, it's still in early stages so i won't bash it, it may get better later on but currently, I'm neutral about it, the pacing is ass like ong they be yapping!! The attempt at comedy for me personally? It's pathetic asf, but that's just me and for some parts, yes you still get the option but i feel the game sometimes try to force nice person bullshit on you, like some choices are labeled rude if you picked them, like dude, me keeping quiet not wanting to talk to you isn't rude, me intimidating men that were going to beat her black and blue and worse, isn't rude like come on? And what was i saying about the pacing? Absolutely dragggg, 4ch in we still don't know shit! Nor are we getting anywhere, but good job at least for just 4ch there's a lot of content even tho we didn't get anywhere but it's still a lot, I'm a fast reader but it still took me a bit to finish current release(4ch), honestly i forgot about it immediately i closed the game, it was that unremarkable, but I'll not be harsh as this is devs first game, I'll let this marinate and come back if i still remember that is.
Hello! Thanks for playing the game! While it is a shame you didn't like my game in its current form, I do find some solace in your willingness to take another chance at it in the future. Therefore, thank you!
I understand that a
'slow burn' approach to the story might be something of a chore to some but please understand that I am structuring the game's story similar to a
slice-of-life anime. I want the story to be about our MC exploring and discovering new things about life that his old one might never have, or at the very least not been able to have. Hence I am
'simmering' a lot of stuff in the proverbial
'slow-cooked stew' that I call my writing before I can fully serve it to you guys! Therefore if people are looking for a quick chow, I must politely urge that they be patient since this
stew will be
simmering for a while
As for the 'kind' and 'rude' thing... I do not know if it's a cultural thing or not, but where I am from, not replying to (or at least not acknowledging) someone with any kind of affirmation
replies, be it verbal or non-verbal, before, during, or after a conversation, is considered rude. We often reply "Oh~/Oh?", "Really?", "Seriously?", or "Mmm~" in conversations during and/or after talking even when it doesn't contribute anything to the conversation. We never/rarely just be silent and
not reply in a conversation even if it is done lol. Now that I'm thinking about it... I guess it's because I generally modeled the dialogue of my characters to real IRL conversations I had with friends. Therefore that might be the reason why you, and/or others, find the options unrealistic/realistic—it's literally inspired by, and in some cases straight-up copied from, real conversations I had with friends lol.

Whether that may be the case or not, the 'kind' and 'rude' options vary contextually from option to option. Case in point—your example, where the
rude option
is 'intimidating' the goons who attacked you and Jax, and not the option where you let them go. Each 'kind' and 'rude' options vary depending on the context that was established beforehand.
Once again, thank you for your criticism! Your words are sharp but it speaks truly. Honest criticism such as yours is what fuels my motivation to strive better and aim higher. Chapter 5 is currently in the works and...
not to be biased or anything
but... it is going to be more action-packed than the previous chapters! Both story-wise and gameplay-wise! Here's to hoping that the
"marinate" you're hoping and looking for is going to be that! Thanks for playing the game!
