Keep in mind that this isn't a linear project and routes for Pat, Trent, Dave and Cliff are yet to come out so for all we know, the writing in upcoming routes may be much better than Chester's route.
Hi! Thanks for the reply and for pointing out the non-linear structure.
You’re totally right, it's not fair to judge the future of the whole game just based on how Chester's route turned out. I completely agree that this project has amazing art and a ton of potential—that's exactly why I was so bummed to see the direction his story took. If the devs ever give Chester a more solid or meaningful character development in the future, that would be awesome; but if not, I get it.
I'm actually really glad to hear that Pat, Trent, Dave, and Cliff's routes are on the way and that the writing might take a better turn. It definitely makes me curious! I’ve decided to wait a good while until the game is much further along or almost finished before jumping back into it. That way, I can enjoy all those new stories all at once instead of getting frustrated waiting for updates route by route.
I really hope the team knocks it out of the park with the upcoming characters. I'll be keeping an eye on the project from a distance. Cheers!
