Well, I really could not follow the story, sorry, it didn't interest me at all.
One of the reason is that an interesting story is made by player choices, you give
the player some choices, but there is only one path to take, if there would be something
like branch system with multiple endings or conclusions I could go for that.
But now it's just like clicking and going through everything.
And I don't know were dating comes in, but I didn't get till the end so what can I say.
Well anyways, maybe I am too hard on you and sonic fans will appreciate this,
but for me it was no fun.
Plus your game description some how made me a bit mad, if its for real, "front-page"
"all over the new grounds", then pick the best game on NG and ask yourself "am I that good?"
"is my game as good as the top game on NG?"
And you have to accept the fact that it takes a lot of work and guts not to give up, to take all
bad and good and make something of it, something better.
If I offended you in anyway, I'm sorry for that but,
what I'm trying to say is that, lower your expectations and keep going,
and you'll get there at some point.
