A... safe for work, furry, dating game. I hope this person doesn't quit their day job.

Yeah, that's a collection of parts that mixes together as naturally as oil and water.
And the artwork doesn't even look that good...

I was kind of avoiding talking bad about the game cause yeah, sfw furry dating sim isn't all that appealing given the track record of furry dating sims in general. That said I decided to give it a chance anyway and hoo boy is it fucking weird to choose an rpg maker engine as your choice of platform for a dating sim.

Right off the bat the game starts slow as fuck with an unskippable intro that consists of screens and some annoying beeping. Following that is just a black screen after some sort of crash where you're in a room and have to interact with a light, i thought it would work automatically but you have to interact with the light even if you cant see where you are. After I talked to trixie, the squirrel chick, the game just cuts to this horror-esque timed area where theres a bunch of doors and some sort of puzzle and getting into a bathtub in the bathroom just ended in a game over with no chance to save, not to mention the rooms were fuck huge and sprinting was disabled.

Yeah fuck this game, its pretty garbage. Gives the worst first impression i've seen in a long time. Not sure if the demo is just fucked to shit and maybe the actual game is coherent but the demo from their itch is easily the best way to turn away potential followers.

The save room is first door on the left from the starting area of the mansion. Its a book you have to interact with.

I realized that after giving it another shot and honestly it's just a bad game, man. Interrupting the dating sim with a puzzle mansion and then interrupting the mansion with a dating sim as they go back and forth is just a pain and not fun at all. If I want to play a dating sim I want to learn about the characters and get attached to them but I can't because within 2 or 3 minutes I'm thrown back into the mansion. If I want to solve the puzzle mansion the flow of the game is thrown off because I'm suddenly forced into an on rails experience with a dating sim with characters i don't give two fucks about.

The save was merely a single issue in the cancer that is the entire game's design. Even if I had figured it out on my first go around that the bookshelf was interactable and saved, which I did on a second attempt, I literally could not be bothered to continue the game because it's just flat out boring as two genres fight for dominance. If you asked me you should just scrap the entire game and really think about what direction you want to go with because this just doesn't work.

Its ok if you dont like it, its an artsy game I made for myself during a dark time of my life.

The two game segments are related and it makes sense at the end, I promise.

The update I'm working on is a separate story and leans more on the dating sim thing, with super simplistic puzzle elements since everyone seems to have struggled with this.

rather than simple you should do something coherent. Getting a key to unlock a door makes sense. Getting a knife that is used for nothing but suddenly a door that was once a dead end in the kitchen suddenly leads to the next segment does not. Its not that it was difficult it was just that it didn't make sense and became purely trial and error along with wasting time constantly despawning pointless skeletons. I guess I won't find out the point of it all because the demo really wasn't that promising that I'd want to drop 4 bucks just to see the rest. I really don't see why you need to put in puzzle elements and bog down the dating sim, or vise versa bother with a dating sim and just simply make a puzzle game. The two can work well together but keeping them separated and working against each other and tied together by "story" just doesn't make logical sense.

I appreciate the input regardless, man.

The game is inspired by old point and clicks that I love, and a defining feature of those is their insane logic.

now that you mention that I can kind of see where you got your direction from. I'm still firm on my opinion as harsh as it was but i really beg of you to consider polishing it better and trying to put out a good experience first over trying to recreate a retro experience without knowing how to do that. Trying to recreate a point and click experience in RPG maker just doesn't work. Deaths are too slow and unskippable, the player is too slow without the sprint, and the engine itself is somewhat limited when it comes to puzzles outside of get item A and put into slot B. The foyer of the mansion didnt need to be like 60x60 blocks, for example, and you can easily downsize a majority of it just to make it so it isn't an absolute slog to walk through. Point and click games can get away with their fucked up logic because it only takes you about 15 seconds to click in 40 different things and get a feel for the screen while interacting with every single pointless door in one of your hallways, which theres like 3 to 5 of them, takes like 40 seconds because you cant skip anything and the movement speed is slow.

I really fucking hate your demo and the base design of what you went with but I can respect sticking to your guns and doing what makes you happy.
