I think that is a good point of view, I also don't really like MC to change their mind so much like that but maybe it's beacause Crowe try to make them feel bad kinda like manipulation.
Yeah, I agree with you c: !! I definitely think Crowe is meant to be emotionally manipulative, I just feel like it can be portrayed in a way that doesn't take away from the interactivity!! I think there's power in taking away agency from a player, but it only works if we had control to begin with and then lose it; that's why I think a slow progression of his manipulation would work better...
