I finished 1 route. It was interesting... I think?
Maybe I'm just stupid or too autistic but honestly I don't understand anything. I get that information is restricted on purpose, both to MC and to player, but I feel I'm just missing too much.
Aside from that great music. Noticed some epic bits like Demise of a Nation.
And the menu to replay any scene from main menu Play > Act > Scene is a great feature but it took me a moment to figure out what it did and how to use it, wasn't immediately clear to me you have to pick an Act then a Scene, and no mouse alternative to the E-Q buttons to move past Act 2.
Spoilers below.
Mostly I'm lost about factions, and then about spatial positions.
Sectors are numbered by distance from the tower? Then are they each circular in shape? If so, when moving across sectors are we always in the same quadrant, eg. North from the tower, or also moving around it? When are we underground, or in a building above ground? When underground, how deep? Is it a few meters under or several hundred? Are there several layers?
Ostorius is some kind of doctor, but a bit later suddenly also some kind of military officer too? He works for Astoria, but the Inquisition also work for her, yet he steals from them? And at some point he's also working for Ember? Are there multiple Ostoriuses?
We're posing as inquisition using their implants and uniform, and we're afraid they're gonna be pissed about the implant, but not about the impersonation and uniform? Or did an actual inquisition officer actually greenlight the posing but not the implant use?
A lot of times, pic showing the person spoken to rather than person speaking. Particularly confusing when characters who haven't been introduced yet are included.
When character names are displayed as "???", hope they can at least have the same colour their actual name will have later. Kalestra going from a blue "???" to an orange "Kalestra", a few frames /before/ her name was first spoken, adds confusion.
Characters changing hair colour a lot... Maybe to show passing of time or other reason, but doesn't help. Also never sure whether it's supposed to be lighting or actual different colour. Lora redhead, then another shade of red, then light brown, then black?
Were all of these parts I was expected to grasp and failed, or is it ambiguous/missing on purpose?
