I'm honestly just doing a quest for the second time ever so I figure discussing it with others could be helpful to me. Maybe improve how I work and all, and just interact with readers and other authors. Heya!

Thank you omg!! I was worried people would get annoyed with no name or gender being apparent yet, but I guess not!

Well amnesia is a bit cliche at this point but it's not a big deal.

Not having a name right away seems to be potentially tied to the plot, so I don't think it's annoying in that regard. And no apparent gender is not that big of a deal, I think, haha. But that's what I think anyway. To me, it's all fine!

I would find very interesting if, in the threatening environment of this quest, personal information of the protagonist, like name, never end up been told or confirmed. Even the most basic notion of identity is unimportant when fearing for one's own life.

It's tied in to this part, kind of!!

Also somebody just compared this to a cross between Nanquest and Amnesia: The Dark Descent and I am unbelievably happy. I am extremely flattered by that comment, since Nanquest is my favorite quest. Thank you, if you're reading this!!

I was honestly kinda scared I was doing badly at first, but that fear appears unfounded now! I'm glad EerieQuest is decent haha!

Yeah, NanQuest is pretty good. EerieQuest's start might be decent, but now you have to make sure the quest stays interesting. =P

I'm going to do my best with it! There are twists that await, some of which may be very odd and surreal

I think it would be interesting if personal information like names ended up being a valuable resource. Kinda like in Spirited Away with the name stealing thing.

All this speculation about what's going on with names is so cool to me! You all have very interesting ideas regarding it!!

Good stuff so far, Keep it up!

Thank you!!! There's plenty of story left, so rest assured I will be keeping it up!

Any guesses about the shadow cat from anyone? I'm curious about what you all think

I love stories with multiple enemies that work differently, so I'm really interested in the possibility of one type of paranoia for dark areas and another for light areas. Good work on that.

I do have some issues with some things.
Like how the character is apparently aware he is in this for the long run and don't even consider sprinting for possible exits (that would obviously be blocked because of the genre). He also seem to know he eventually will be capable of defending himself even though he have no idea what he is dealing with.
Other problem is how fast some questions got answered. When facing the threatening unknown the reader may have questions, doubts and speculations. It's important that those are responded, but you may want to milk the mystery a little more or you may end up without questions to be answered.

Thank you for your input!!! It's stated one of his interests is paranormal investigation and such, which can lend itself to being genre savvy about these situations. Even so, I do see your point.
As for the speed, I also understand what you're saying here! I'm going to try and improve the pacing of events from here on out!!

>>101373
That is a good explanation. Just be careful to not make this world feel natural to Joel. If you do the story will become more action than horror. (Maybe that is what you want)
And to clarify: I don't mean there is anything wrong with the answers you gave.

I'm not a big fan of too much romance in quests, especially ones where the characters are in constant danger.

But take my opinion with a grain of salt, I'm think I'm in the minority about this.

Regardless, everything is still great! Keep up the good work, again!

Thank you!!! Good to know things are still interesting and enjoyable!!
I'm trying to take everything between the two carefully for now!

As the only person promoting this romance in the suggestions, I want to apologize for the possibility of my interference may had changed the focus of the story to something no one else is interested.
I'm normally not a fan of romances in those kind of stories, but in this case I got a little enthusiastic about the idea. Mostly because it's a trope that can be played with. You could argue that it already is the case since the love interest is so different from what you would expect.
I must admit that I would enjoy an optimistic result for this couple, but the thing I want the most is for the protagonist to be manipulative.
I'm just explaining myself to you to know if you want to avoid my bullshit.

I just want to say that although I haven't suggested anything related to romance yet (priorities, y'know), I fully support everything in this post.

Faggot who doesn't like romance checking back in. I can 100000% get on board with manipulation, I think that's a really interesting angle.
