I wouldn't criticize a game from an incomplete perspective, this game is still ongoing and I'm still trying to explain things that happened before the start of the game, because those things take more time to develop, also, ideas are way faster than the actual workflow, I wish my long term planification was good enough to make sense once the full picture of the Broken Dreams universe has been completed, I'm not asking you to be patiente, you can criticize all you want, at the end of the day, I just want a story that respect itself.
Your words: "The first instance is really early on imo, with the principal canceling his health insurance, and then trying to threaten him to keep quiet since higher ups wouldn't believe him over her. This.....doesn't make any sense? It isn't a he-said she-said circumstance of being his word against her's, there was already a tangible consequence to her doing that, with evidence."
Look, the answer to this exists since december 2021, and nobody, NOBODY, has intepreted correctly, and it's fine, because I've not given enough information to solve the puzzle, is there a reason why their superiors want him there? why is he so worried about losing his job and talk to his higher ups? why?
And look, calling Hana a bland character just because acts like your default tsundere girl is at some point fair, at the time I'm writting this comment of course, because, her story is still in a quite early stage.
your words again: "Kaede's story honestly felt so weird, but not for the reasons the story tried to make it. Protagonist is literally just being nice by offering to play games with her, which while unusual for a teacher to do, is not immoral at all! Yet....the protagonist starts yapping about how he's so horrible and creepy for doing this to a student. The strange insistence that this scenario MUST be creepy is the part that feels strange to me."
There's a big reason why THE MAIN CHARACTER considers this a bad idea, deep down in him, he knows the result from previous experiences. This is not intended to be a creepy scenario for YOU, the player, that brings me to my next point, I don't want you to be the main character, that's why at the very start of the development, you weren't able to select a name for the player, because I don't want that, but, making this decision was good tho, now you're obliged to be the player, and despite him, this is not a game about being a good person, this game in fact is about being a shitty person trapped in a world making him a good person, and you'll see why, at the end, is very easy to critizice when you don't know the whole story, right?
My conclusion is that you don't see what you want to see on the story, and it's fine, I don't suffer because of comments about this game, I uinderstand that I'm not perfect, I work as hard as I can to make an enjoyable visual novel, sorry if this is not the game that you expected.
Oh btw, I learnead a new language just to bring you a story, because it's the language you know, this sounds personal, but I'm very tired of this kind of comments calling my grammar and style bad, of course it's not good, my thinking is in on a complete different dimension, I don't see the world in English, it's hard, very hard, and I already created a good story for a lot of people, and I'm happy with that, I'm improving of course, I don't want to think that I'm perfect, again, this is just my attempt to create a good game.
Thanks so much for sharing your theories over the past few days! I wanted to reply sooner, but the discussion was so engaging that I decided to wait and see how far you would take it without any input from me. Your theories were truly fascinating!
It seems like most people are starting to grasp the idea of the MC's different personalities, but only a few have touched on what they truly represent. Without giving too much away, I can say that each personality plays a specific role in the MC's life—not just as a set of emotions, but also as lessons. The story will begin to focus more on what lesson can be learned from each personality, and how Nova ties into all of them.
I hope you're all doing well and continue to enjoy the game as much as I’m enjoying creating it!
As for a release date, I can’t say much just yet, but… you can keep up with the progress of updates here or on Patreon for free! You’ll be able to see what I’m working on and what’s planned for the future!

In several countries, malpractice can be consider a serious problem and a despiteful conduct by some medical professionals and other areas. However, Broken Dreams is a fictional story, so let's say in the universe where the events takes place, malpractice is considered a crime (and it should be considered that way in way more countries, but that's just my opinion). The protagonist at that point is not worried about what he did with Kaede, playing videogames? Not a problem at all, he's worried about scalating his future aproaches with her, making them more and more improper. The relationship between a psychologist and a patient must be professional.

Hey! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the game! I hope it continues to be a fundamental piece of your recovery process! both emotionally and physically. Bad times don't stay forever, you always need something to feel connected to this world, in my case, this game was my ray of hope. If you remember... there's a joke in the game that makes you imagine math formulas because I dropped out of college. Hehe. I still have the original name of the folder where I saved the game: "LAST HOPE" It truly was my last hope... and thanks to kind people like you, I continue doing this for a living, what I'm trying to say is... Never give up, there's always a ray of hope out there, you need to find it! My best wishes to you and thank you again for playing my game! 🤍
