Excellent insight! Like you said, Zissel clutches to taking self-satisfaction from being a trauma eater as a salve from feeling alienated, but just feels more alienated after doing so. But, the addition of Kypp to Zissel’s life offers a new perspective on that issue of satisfaction, given that Kypp’s inexplicably into the trauma eating. We’re glad you think Kypp’s cool too :)
We had hoped, in our original edit for the story, to include Zissel’s trauma in the final act, but alas we fell short on time. It’s our hope to include Zissel, Kypp, and other characters in future games or stories, so maybe there’s yet a chance to explore that.
