Taking a cursory glance at his computer, you can tell the task manager along a few other tools are on. Everytime you add a unique interaction (as you often do out of habit), the CPU and RAM usage spikes up. It's usually not that much of a problem as the game was never that resource intensive even with your meddling, but if someone was to pay attention to it, it wouldn't be hard to notice something's wrong.
He goes through the first part of the game multiple time, checking different class loadout and taking notes on a text file. Taking a look at it, it looks like it's comparing the way the classes were originally designed versus how they are now. For example, the mage class was supposed to start with a few spells, but in this case it doesn't since you wanted to encourage Hazel to learn them more thoroughly.
The number of exploits he finds is unreal. Infinite levelling, item duplication, you didn't realize so much of it was broken, it's a miracle Josh never encountered any of these bugs. You're tempted to fix them, but wouldn't it make your presence too obvious if you patch the bugs as he finds them? Besides, the goal of your game was never to win, but to prod at your target for anything you could exploit them for. In that way, maybe messing with him is not necessary just yet, any actions you take could bring more harm than good.
The playtesting continues for a while, and you do learn a few things. For one, there's a level editing software that wasn't included in your file. It's a separate program that you guess was only used by the developers themselves, considering you can't find anything about it online. You also learn that your file seem to 'synchronize' changes when you jump. You uploaded your file before you messed with Hazel, but a lot of the changes found in Hazel's file can be found here. Now, there's the obvious stuff like the aforementioned mage class, but what you weren't expecting was for some of the conversations you had with Hazel to be saved, and even some of Clara's unique dialog.
