i understand that these things take time and effort, but with all due respect i think its not the best idea to split the games into 2 for more money. the games arent bad, but i dont think this is needed. you would not have to reintroduce concepts in part 2 if it carried on directly from the 1st, and it would give for a greater sense of continuity which i feel suits this story driven game more (because lets be honest i dont think anyone is here to push buttons and enjoy it). if you want more money out of this and feel that 2 split games and a patreon isnt cutting it for you, you could always collapse this game into the 1st and just up the 1st game's price.
anyways thats my 2 cents, best of luck in future endeavors
