Thanks a lot for your feedback, you put me in a bit of a tight spot here actually :D in a previous version feedback some ppl complained they couldnt remember who's who by just the names and felt that the nicknames weren't used enough (they probably enjoyed more the family aspect). So my compromise was putting the nicknames next to the names :) it's a tight balance.
About "you can, before each interaction with the character, have the narrator say the type of relationship with the person". Can you give me an example for this suggestion?
Thanks a lot for your contribution, it makes me happy that you enjoy my game.
