Hi there, I just played through the game and wanted to share some of my thoughts on it here. I'll just be quickly going through some of the things I liked, maybe a few things I didn't like and any bugs I might have stumbled across.
I'll start with the things I liked or enjoyed about the game. I liked the 'infomercial' video in the beginning, it sets the game up nicely and adds a bit of humour to the game early on. I liked that the image the player chooses at the start of the game has an impact on the environment later on, like if they choose the eye-ball picture then the paintings/pictures later on are of eye-balls, this also adds to how the game tries to adapt to the players actions, depending on what the player interacts with or doesn't, affects the 'psychiatric report' at the end, it's a very nice touch overall. The game definitely gets points for having a weird and unnerving atmosphere. I also liked how the game tackles a very important subject in modern society, the pursuit of perfection, and how people tend to over analyze themselves to the point where every little imperfection eats away at them to the point where they despise themselves.
Now I'll just go over some of the things I didn't quite like about the game. First off, the performance isn't quite up to snuff, I could feel my mouse movements becoming sluggish at times, which is usually a sign of a low frame rate or poor frame times, and given that the game isn't graphically impressive this shouldn't have been an issue. For added information I was playing at 2560x1440 with a GTX 1080. As mentioned, I didn't find the game graphically impressive in the slightest, that obviously doesn't make it a bad game, but it doesn't help.
I'm happy to say that I didn't encounter any game breaking bugs throughout my playthrough.
Overall the game is quite interesting, it's incredibly weird but that's part of its charm. I really enjoyed how the game tried to adapt to my choices and how I interacted with the environment. It has some decent scares to it, and a pretty unnerving atmosphere. I believe that it sums up a persons struggle with the pursuit of perfection perfectly. I would consider the performance issues I faced to be a very minor issue, but it did hinder my experience a smidge. Overall an enjoyable, albeit weird, experience.
I hope you don't mind but I made a let's play of my time with the game over on my channel.
Interesting Game. I liked the idea of using data from the player. The game is very interactive and I like the profile at the end. I feel like you could play all three scenarios
and get a different ending maybe? IDK, but I had fun playing it :-)
I really enjoyed your game! thank you so much for sharing it! I wonder what results other people will get? I had a suggestion at the end of my video if you want to check it out, otherwise, thank you so much for sharing you art!
Everything I've seen about this game seems lovely, and the opening video is well made. Unfortunately the game crashes for me right afterwards, though the music keeps playing and on one instance it was using 85% of my cpu? So there seems to be some bug issues to work out yet, understandable for only having been out for 3 days, but I hope a fix is found soon as I'd very much like to have this experience myself. While I don't know all of my specs, I am running on a fairly new (<2 years old) laptop computer with widows 10 and an external hard drive (3tb).
Somewhat rough around the edges and I don't know if I completely agree with my particular assessment, but I had a lot of fun with this. Loved the intro.
Adding the behind the scenes development process stuff is a nice touch too.

Nice game. Some really cool graphics and mild jump scares. Intro was fantastic and sound was well done. Nice job... :)

I was promised perfection but... I think I have to return that head-thingie. :)
