The Haunted World: Hell's Gate
Hmm, if she HAS to have diabetes (with all glitches covered and solid medical information in the game) then a bit of fantasy is acceptable and it becomes acceptable a quest like that (considering that this is a fictitional work and is for gaming) . But keep in mind that there are quite a lot of illnesses that require emergency treatment, like lung problems ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyspnea ), heart problems or an anaphylatic reaction ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphylaxis ) - you need an alergic trigger to this one, but it can be as simple as an insect bite (or maybe an unknown cause?).
Wikipedia is usually a fairly reliable source, specially the english pages, and you have the source links below, that are usualy from scientific articles (which is 100% reliable medical information).
Oh! A fictitional disease is really cool! It could be a genetic something, since there are milions of genes that could combine in a wrong way all the time, and there are genetic diseases that affect as little as 1 or 2 people in the world, so any insanely weird thingy could be acceptable! Have you ever heard of alexandria's genesis? It's a fake disease but actually very convincing!
It's true! One needs compliments once in a while though! :) Doing something is way more praisable than doing absolutely nothing at all! :) I was a bit way too hasty posting my comment, I didn't even realize I was talking to such a young game developer, so I'm sorry!
And oh wow I just noticed how our icons look alike! Is your game art somehow inspired on The world end with you?
Should we be talking trough PMs?

Having a diabetic father, I know the minimum about diabetes and it's not pleasant to see such a medical mistake in a game that talks about several illnesses.
When you have diabetes, you have a LOT of sugar on your blood, but that sugar won't reach the cells because it needs the help of insulin (which you have none). Giving chocolate will only make your blood carry more sugar, but still no sugar will reach the cells.
You should be careful when going deeper into the illness of your characters and do a little wikipedia research at least, you see. It's not complicated I asure you, it just requires a bit more time and you'll be able to produce a game with convincing details. This would also prevent people from getting offended or something (this world is getting way too sensitive lately and one must be careful)
Thank you for being so open to conversation and I hope you can improve all these aspects.
I'm sorry if I was a little to harsh on you, you're really young and your team is really small, but please consider that quality takes practice, trial and error! Your game will surelly come out a lot better than the demo, but please be sure to get a good beta-testing team, so that all programing mistakes are cleared!
I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for your response!
As for number 2, you can make an image saying the room name, and make an event to show it for x seconds and then erase it, everytime you enter the rooms. The chocolate thing, i think the guy says Have some chocolate and the gives you insluin? Could be me remembering wrong!

Ok, I know it was just a demo, but there are some serious faults so far:
SPOILERS FOR THE DEMO
1-The "puzzles" are not intuitive at all, with no clues whatsoever to solve them, leaving them to a wild guessing game. I spent a good 15 minutes walking around interacting with stuff, until i finally found the random and arbitrary triggers to progress.
2-The keys are labeled, but we never know were the room is from the start. One of the keys is labeled as "Room 007" yet it unlocks the bathroom inside the room you found the key in! And there is no indication that the room we are in is room 007...
3-Some sprites change when you talk to them!
4-Taking place in a hospital, the game talks about various diseases and such, yet obviously no research at all was done on them. A single fracture is enough to amputate your limb? Chocolate is not a substitute for insulin, on the contrary. Also people just dont suddenly die from a hypoglycemic attack. Also, suicide pills lying around a hospital. Ok.
5-Not a single doctor/nurse in the hospital (altough, it could be plot related)
6-The insulin quest is broken. If you press Z/Enter during the bad end cutscene, you can actually move and leave the room, canceling the bad end. (And if the player is out of the room when the timer stops, no bad end is triggered)
7-The guy who has the insulin is in the party with me while we are searching for it, and the only way for him to give it to me is to trigger a completely unrelated side quest, which must be done before i know i need it, although it can be triggered after? Its confusing, i know, and thats why it shouldn't be like that.
8-If you are making us read through the whole life story of a NPC, at least give them a mugshot/name/relevance to the game.
9- The dialogue is unnatural, forced and stiff with sudden bursts of exposition. Mediocre writing at best.
10-Key in the sink, AKA, click random, non intuitive spots until you find what you need.
11- Inadequate RPG maker stock sounds. The door crossing sound. Why? www.freesound.org Enjoy
12- Hisao sees a dead and bloody body on the floor, takes an item from it, and only then realizes the guy is dead. Also, an anonymous stranger who knows his name joins his party and he is cool with that.
13- Is the game in english? Because Otosama is not english. I realize its set in Japan, but you either translate it or dont.
14-In Japan, people dont use their own clothes in the hospital.
15- And finally, the game isn't scary at all. (Probably because of the lack of SFX)
I really liked the lightning in the game though, it really sets the mood, and the object descriptions that give insight into the mind of Hisao.
As it is a demo, not much can be gathered regarding the plot, but this errors give The Haunted World a very bad first impression. Here's hoping the final version will be better, and good luck with the rest of the game!!
