Hero MC could have had some dialogue

I don't think it would've polluted the premise of the main character if he had some dialogue. The complete silence kind of detracts from the experience imo

I've been thinking that the entire time I've been playing, it makes no sense for them to be a silent protagonist. Of course, that's half of the reason Karon is even there, to provide context for the player's thought bubble. However I think some of the dialogue would've flown a lot smoother if they'd just spoken normally.

The developer clearly knows how to write dialogue, so it wouldn't have been beyond them. Maybe take out all the awkward, horny jokes and giving the protag some lines instead would've been a better use of his time.

I like silent protagonists. Actually wish they weren't dying out.

They're not dying out, you just don't hear them as much anymore.

i think the silent protagonist works out really well in this game. unlike other games like this its made clear he's not actually silent, just everything he says is up to interpretation when his speech bubble comes up

It's also made clear he has an actual name, but without ever telling us what it is. Such a bizarre way to try to have your cake and eat it too.
