Very great so far! Will definitely be following the Progress of your VN with Great interest!

My only concern is with the way I tend to play social sims. As a long time fan of Games like Persona, I often try to "complete" every character's social events.

I understand your intent is to make sure every choice has a weight to it and making it impossible to see everything in one read. I just have to know, are people like myself who take a more "social butterfly" approach and try to balance hanging out worth everyone find a narratively satisfying conclusion to everyone's arc by the end of a playthrough, even if that means sacrificing a deeper connection with the cast? 

Or do I just have to bite the bullet with how I usually play these kinds of games and explore each character in depth by only managing 1-3 per playthrough, if I wish to see a more complete depth to a character?

That's not to say I'm against interacting with the story this way, just wanting to know if I have to shift my playstyle/expectations based on what I want. I do understand the intent of writing the experience this way is to promote the reader to experiment across multiple reads and find new things and permutations a seemingly infinite amount of Times.

Overall it has been very fun and I have enjoyed weighing all my options and navigating the complex relationships of the cast. I feel as though every choice, even small dialogue ones have been purposeful and dynamic. Very excited to see how it progresses along with the main story!


Side note: Did I miss something about Tulemeni not having a uniform, despite everyone else needing to wear one? Or is her normal outfit considered one somehow?

Thank you so much for the kind words, Timmy! I really appreciate it and that you're enjoying Void Dreaming!

You might be the first person to comment so far who this VN is actually perfectly suited for! Yes, there are specific developments and discoveries that can be made by focusing in on just one or two characters, of course. For those who want to be social butterflies though, there's a wealth of story and development awaiting you! You can definitely, and potentially even should want to hang out with the whole cast to get a better sense of them and learn more about them. That was absolutely a goal, so by all means go ahead and play your way!

Also, Tulemeni doesn't have a uniform; cybes are not required to since their comfort levels are essential to efficiency. It's very easy for a cybe to be brought out of their element and most do their best work when they feel at ease with themselves, so Tulemeni is allowed to dress as she pleases within much looser guidelines!
