The Pancake Paradox

"The Pancake Paradox" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is a nonsensical high school anime club dropout fan-fiction from Korea about the authors imaginary girlfriends who apparently make pancakes while the world burns.

Can't get it to work for some reason. i get through first like, minute or so, then when she says she has a presentation the screen goes black and just stays that way, I sat for about 5 minutes, then tried clicking for 2 minutes, then I tried every button and all that works is 'esc' opening the save menu. and if you try to load a save it just doesn't work ALSO the whole scene doesn't align with my screen with it being toward the left and leaving a big white bar on the right side, when in save menu the text goes outside of the boxes. I will check back at a later date and see if it works then.

The game runs smooth as there are no interruptions on my resource monitor so I think the game might be bugged. Will comeback in a later patch to replay.
