I'd definitely rather play as Red than Leo, ngl. Though being able to cruise through the new world with a friend is a nice twist and good vibe. If you ever think about making a sequel or spinoff with Red as the Main (when you're done with this one of course) I'd be super into that, even pay for that one boi!
Haha, making Red an interesting character was primary goal for chapter 1, and you'll get to see a bit more of what he's been up to in chapter 2 ;) Although Leo does have interesting things planned for him a spin off from Red's POV isn't something I thought of doing but now that you mention it that's a crazy good idea XD <3
