First post on Eka's!
So a few questions and comments.
Q1. While the game says you need to leave at the end of the month will there be an option to stay with Elaine if your relationship is high enough? (maybe adding a new rent payment or something)
Q2. Will there be more options to interact with the preds other than just small talk? ex: Meeting at the park, gym, etc.
Q3. Will skills apply to more than just escaping preds?
And lastly
Q4. Will there be other ways to restore energy? As of now you can only restore energy by sleeping but if Elaine is on the couch you can't sleep and may end up just passing out because simply waiting will take away your energy.
Now for comments/criticism or just my general thoughts.
1. first off amazing rough draft and am excited to se what will come in future releases.
2. Take your time with development, no one is forcing you to put the game put on a time limit (and if they are just ignore them).
3. There is an odd bug where if the fridge is empty and you come home WITH groceries Elaine will eat you anyways. It's also weird because if you have high enough relationship with her you can just ask to be let out but then she immediately swallows you again.
4. On my first playthrough when going into Elaine's room I saw the explore room when Elaine was asleep and immediately perished because she thought I was stealing money that I didn't even know was there. So maybe give a bit of a warning to players who just want to have a look around without any intent to steal the cash.
5. I think the stats for drinking alcohol are inverted because whenever I try it my drunkenness' doesn't fill up at all but my hunger gets capped real quick.
6. PLEASE add a way to increase max stamina/reduce stamina costs/improve stamina regeneration, because it is SO tedious to do any training at the gym when you can only get at most half an hour of weights before needing to rest for an hour and a half or treadmill for an hour and have to rest for an hour and a half.
And finally
7. In the future would it be possible to pre-emptively use The tablets as a sort of once a day pill that you can reduce damage in a stomach but can't be used when in the stomach, instead of just being a substitute for the packets as honestly you really won't need to worry to much if you can use hundreds of the pills in a predators stomach and nullify all damage + packets. With packets it's risk vs reward as you can end up wasting all your packets if you buy the wrong type or buy to many of one type and to be left without the funds to obtain more if needed while the pills can be inevitably be either game breaking with how many you can use or useless if in a predator with a tight stomach.
You have a great first start out now and I can't wait to see what future releases hold for this game! Also keep in mind that all this are just my thoughts, I mean I am no game designer just a person on the internet so you do you. Good luck! and thank you for your efforts!
