Look, I know the crew probably put a lot of effort and time into the production of this game, but it’s just not very good. I liked the game, and I did finish it, but something is just really lacking here. If you do like this game, that’s fine! I just have a few personal complaints.
The thing is the dialogue options. They’re all basically copies of the same option three different times, and are constantly, constantly ending in exclamation marks. Your character does NOT need to yell so much though literally every single interaction. Like, I think there’s only two dialogue options in the entire game where your character is not screaming their head off. And the interaction you have with the villain make even less sense. Why, for a game with two endings, can you not express different feelings towards Dr Crow specifically? Every interaction with him, your dialogue gives you no choice but to be extremely hostile towards him. No stopping to take a breath, or wonder why, or ask him more questions about who he is and what he’s doing without being so incredibly rude and disrespectful towards him. If you’re playing a Good run of the game, that’s fine, but in a game where you can WORK WITH THE VILLAIN, you would think you’d be able to show any interest or fascination with him whatsoever! But no! It’s fight him, fight his methods, fight his ideology, and then join him on a whim at the very end of the game and brutally murder your friends! Look, I wanted to join the Doctor throughout the entire gameplay(a Plague Doctor myself) but when I actually got the opportunity to, it just wasn’t satisfying. It felt like a sudden jump to over the top villainy for absolutely no reason and no indication my character was thinking evil thoughts or believed in the Doctor even slightly to begin with. It just…happened. And it’s not very fun, story wise.
Oh, and one last thing. It might just be a nitpick since Duskwood is my favorite and I loved the ending, but I find that the ending game music doesn’t fit the story. At all. If feels like the developers searched up popular songs and just slotted on in over the credits

Game is broken
The sound is not working. I cannot hear any talking or videos. Pretty lame, I couldn’t even play with no sound.
Hello,
Hello,
I think my save file is stuck due to a bug in Chapter 5.
The last message I receive in the Strangers group chat is:
“That’s what this guy was talking about!”
After that, no new messages appear, even after waiting a long time.
I also noticed that some previous messages repeated once, but the game became stuck again at the same point.
I transferred my save to another device using the save transfer code, but the exact same problem happened there as well. I also reinstalled the game, but it did not fix the issue.
Could you please check my save file or help me continue the story?
Thank you.
