Hello and thank you for your feedback on the game, It was one of the first games I released a few years ago and I am still happy whenever I get engagement like this after all this time.
I would like to conduct this reply in order to address any concerns you may have with the content in the game, the games main theming is around Punk subcultures, one path is around Gutterpunk/Crustpunk and the other is around Skinhead/Mod culture.
To address the concern surrounding the term Skinhead I feel like it may be something lost to translation as Americans associate the term with Neo-nazis and I am here to just clear up a few misconceptions. Skinheads were concepted in a time of counter cultural movements in Britain much like Hippies in the USA at the time and shaving your head was seen as counter cultural as it didn't fit in with the conservative vision of society. Skinhead subculture is an off shoot of the British Mod and Jamaican-British Rube Boy subcultures respectively. Skinheads have always had influence from British black culture and have even had roots in Ska, Reggae and Rocksteady music, later on when Punk Rock music became more popular amongst the Skinhead subculture lead to the creation of a Punk Rock offshoot called Oi! music .
Unfortunately like all growing counter cultural movements when the hit a certain size you are going to get people hijacking the subculture for there own nefarious views and this is where the USA current view of Skinheads come from as Far-Right Neo-Nazis hijacked their own divide of the Skinhead Subculture and tarnished the name for the majority for other Skinheads. Most people in the Skinhead subculture worldwide are usually working class and apolitical or lean to the left of the political spectrum due to anti-authoritarian and anti-conservative views. There's also the very popular subculture of Trojan Skinheads which make up the majority of modern skinheads in Britain and members take pride in their love a black music culture and roots.
I would like to thank you for taking time to read this response and if you would like any further reading here are some links.
Clicked on this expecting some wholesome message about weight. I haven't played it so that might still be true I just uuuuh wasn't expecting the other stuff hahaha
cute message it was pretty good for a visual novel only thing I would like to mention but doesn't matter is the music cuts off at some times and then comes back at certain scenes

A decent first game, but did they have to be called skinheads? That's literally a nickname NeoNazis made for themselves
