It absolutely breaks my heart that this is on hiatus because of AI accusations. To say that this game is stunning is such an understatement. Visually it's like nothing else I've seen in a game like this, and the story has me hooked IMMEDIATELY. There's an immaculate sense of world building right off the bat that drags you in and sets up everything you need to know to enjoy the setting while keeping you just as much in the dark as the MC. Anselm is such a cool character immediately, and you believe him when he expresses his feelings and frustrations with his role even while you have a short time with him.
I don't want to spoil it for any new potential players, but I was deep to my core unsettled by several different choices in this set up- from just horrifying visuals in beautiful settings to a direction with a character I didn't expect at all. I was so convinced about what his role is that when the reveal happened I may as well have been sucker punched. Never has a game had me so scared to make a mistake and there's only one chapter.
I crave an update like nothing else, this story has so much potential and visual prowess it is a genuine loss if it's dropped indefinitely.
