All I can say to anyone on the fence, is just take the leap. Not for the demo or free, but for the paid/steam/patreon.
100% worth it. The building of the world, characters and story are second to none. And it's got a lot of content for being so few episodes already. It was kinda throwing me off how long I was playing before I even got to where it went to the next episode.
Underground seriously outdid the scene with this one cause just damn. I've come across some excellent ones since I've found this whole type of thing, but I'm finding it hard to not admit that the development and weight of choices in this story is the best I've played. It's quite rare where I ever feel "immersed" or connected to a story.
I can like characters and enjoy a story yes (like watching a good movie), but rarely do I feel at an internal level an actual struggle/sense of consequence or reward in navigation of a story and this one had me almost at every turn.
