Thank you so much for the feedback. If you end up playing it, I’d absolutely love to hear how it goes, your experience would be incredibly helpful in shaping a stronger revision.
As for Act 2, you’re right, I did consider introducing a few NPCs who might be headed toward a doomed fate in Act 3, but in the end I felt the NULL overview was already so dense. That said, I think there’s still room to add more flavor, through morally gray characters that can deepen the tone without overloading the structure.
Thanks again.
