I for one absolutely LOVED walking into the (very messy) situation at hand without knowing a single thing! It made the progression of the story much more immersive and real. The emotions hit harder (trust me, I cried loll) and the little tidbits of knowledge that would surface, or we would uncover/drag from Ilar's stubborn self felt all the more significant.
Perhaps this is just me, but meeting Ilar as a character who is for all intents and purposes very lost and confused only made me attach myself to them all the quicker. If this were a real situation, I would have most likely done the same, so being given the chance to experience The Remainder's events as I would have had I been isekai'ed into this realm felt very refreshing.
All things considered, I think you guys did a lovely job!! Feel free to mislead me as much as you like, haha!
P.S. I am so tremendously proud of all of the love and hard work you have put into bringing The Remainder to life! You have created something truly beautiful and I really hope you are aware of that. I still remember playing the demo for Act I for the first time, back before it had been officially released, and screeching about it in your itch.io comments section (sounds much like what I happen to be doing know, no? XD) You've come so far and I'm very happy to have been given the opportunity to see your skills grow and your story flourish.
Thank you for sharing The Remainder with us!!!!
Much love and support,
Ha Neul ^_^
