I'm loving this so far! It's refreshing to play a character in a group dynamic where you're not thrust into the role of leader 'just because' (well, besides that one choice), while still making you feel like you're important and your presence matters.
I also thing it's cool how you can't befriend everyone, no matter how much you might want to, and you don't feel punished for that either. Feels more realistic.
The writing is also very interesting and immersive, so far.
I'm really looking forward to the interaction with the Captain, and assuming he's one of the LI's (I hope?), it'll be interesting to see how that pans out!
Best of luck for this game going forward!
