Replying to my post because I finally got around to playing Act 2.
This game just keeps getting more and more marvelous! It actually kind of reminds me of "Slay The Princess"? Totally different story and characters of course, but the amount of meaningful choices I have and the meta-textual nature of it at times feels very much like "Slay The Princess" in the BEST way.
Which is awesome for me, because I enjoyed that game but much prefer guys lol. I'm totally looking forward to seeing more of this story!
