Some of the events of the book are definitely coinciding with real world events, which was not something I anticipated when I initially started the game back in 2021. Alas, it absolutely leans on the side of a critique rather than support. The Hunter's job is cruel and inhumane at times, though they're not fully aware of how unfair it actually is. That's something that will continue to be brought up as the game continues.
As for your other comments, there will be a platonic route for each of the ROs if that's more your vibe! I admit that I'm not that experienced in writing more neutral options, but that's something I can tweak based on your (in general) feedback. Thank you for playing <3
