At this stage, you will have all played a version of the game where there were no stats screens (so you are blind to your current attributes) or where you can check your stats at the end of each episode only.

 Or (as seen in Ep6X), you have a choice to constantly check your stats throughout the episode.  So just wondering what players inputs are and which option you would like going forward.

I think No stats is just too difficult and some players will end up losing interest in decision making if they never see how they're doing.

I think constant stats will result in some folks re-loading after every choice and trying each combination to see the impact.  No harm in this, but it may break immersion / game-flow.

Personally (and as the Dev, I get a BIG Vote), my preferred option is end of Episode only.   But let me know what you think.....(and feel free to use the comments sections to add any relevant opinions)

I played through 6x with constant stats and it totally threw me out of the gameflow. I found myself backing out of every choice to get the "correct" one. I'd rather play through to the best of my ability and if I really want to know how to optimize, that would come via a walkthrough. Love the game regardless though!

Tripped across your game and now on board as a Patreon. Love the work and a fun story line. As for the option to check stats as I go, I liked being able to work with the stats on a replay. It is easy enough to ignore if one wishes and a walk through I found didn't quite get the Katie line correct. I went back and found the branch in the workout to get to the level needed after I played through. I get you are at Chapter 9 at this point. Hope you bring it back, less need for you to spend time on creating walk throughs. More time for the game. Anyways great work and looking forward to chapter 9
