Honestly, while I like a lot about this game I do have one big issue with it. That being the player character.
Considering the fact that Vera can literally rewrite history and with how fast she spirals into an addiction to growing, it's weird how unconcerned the player character is. He's pretty much just a complete yes-man for Vera.
Like at at the beginning Vera hides the true extent of her plan to grow, she esentially lies and tries to brush it off, and the player just doesn't care?
There's never a point where he tries to reign Vera in, points out how crazy her addiction to growing got, or tries to convince her to create some kind of fail save in case she goes overboard.
It's always just 'Vera would do it anyway, so why bother?' or 'That's so you, Vera, go for it!' which is just pretty shitty behavior for someone who should be a good friend of hers.
