Bookbinding – Dark Cozy Sim

It's a relatively affordable game so being harsh on it doesn't make sense. Here's my current thoughts after playing for half an hour. These notes are personal to me and would really appreciate it if the devs were to consider adding them in future updates. Cons 1. It doesn't have voice acting, It would be nice to hear the characters voices, I think it would add a lot more life to them and create an even more mysterious mood elevating the whole horror or mystery theme. 2. Controls: I noticed while playing the game I couldn't use space to progress the speech bubbles, this odd because most if not all visual novel or story driven games have that and as someone who prefers using the spacebar instead of my mouse it was a little disappointing. 3. Sound effects: Besides the music in the background and the ambient noises the UI doesn't really feel immersive. 4. UI customization: For a game with a looooot of reading since there is no voice acting, an option to increase or decrease UI/Text would be really handy. Pros 1. There are a lot of decorations for the books which is great since this is a book binding sim. 2. The character designs are interesting and makes me think about my characters backstory. The Art department is really good and from the art alone I'm already enticed to keep playing the game to learn more about the characters and story. 3. Music choice is pretty good, sets a pretty decent intro to the "horror/mystery" vibes of the game. Overall at my current play time I think that the game still feels lacking and could do more with the sound effects department but that's just me. I feel like this game feels more like a phone game rather than a pc game at the moment for me.
