This game really gave me a huge shock. With 《Adastra》 as my first game to get into, Reconnected has piqued my interest from the very beginning. I really like horror elements (such as the "Echo" series), so when I played Build2 last night, I really enjoyed this part of the bathroom plot. But unfortunately, since I saw the update from Itch's dynamic, I inevitably saw this CG before playing. It's a bit less surprising, but I still really like the performance of this scene.I think we can release this very crucial CG a few days later. This way, the experience during the gameplay might be better.Personally, I think there could also be more vivid descriptions in the terrifying scenes? Besides, I think the fact that the characters have different personalities and distinct personalities is also a very attractive point to me. Although actually I can't fully understand and agree with what the protagonist has done (perhaps due to language limitations, there is no Chinese translation, so I can only try my best to understand), I still appreciate this approach of not creating a "perfect protagonist". Besides, in terms of the plot, I personally feel that the emotional logic might be a bit abrupt. Well, after all, from the very beginning, the protagonist has been emphasizing that Kai is straight, and he has also tried his best to get along with Kai within the range of a friend. I also accepted this view during the gameplay, and in my previous experiences, I didn't sense that Kai had any ambiguous feelings towards the protagonist. So when Kai suddenly confessed his love to the protagonist very confidently, I was a little puzzled. It's not that I don't like it; it's just that the feeling might be a little sudden. Perhaps I prefer the emotional approach of gradual progress. Of course, this might also be due to cultural differences and language barriers that led to my misunderstanding. Anyway, I really like this game. The plot length of just two Bulids was completely beyond my expectations. Hope you can do better and better,love you guys.
Thank you for your comment! The lead up in the romance sector becomes more clear in the next build. It is meant to be abrupt in some regards, but if you read through build two and one, the tones were always there, I just tried very hard to mask and hide them as a cultural difference between the MC and Kai. I mean, how many of your straight friends with be that keen to help you take a shower, or cuddle on your bed, or do any of the things that Kai did? The premise in my mind about the romance build up is that Kai was ALWAYS trying to show and give hints, but we were the ones not picking up on them... and we we're dropping clues and hints to Kai, and we assumed that HE wasn't picking up on them either. This all culminates in the ending scene where this comes to fruition and they confess to each other, when we learn that Kai isn't nearly as dumb as we think he is, and that he was getting the hints the whole time, and was (awkwardly) trying to reciprocate them. In the bathroom scene Eco literally confesses that he has feelings for Kai that go beyond friendship. That's what the bathroom scene is. It's the nightmare that Kai knows everything about what you want, and that you won't be able to run from your feelings... and if you try... well... it will swallow you alive :)
