More choices are always a good thing. I strongly dislike when playing a game feels more like reading a book with very little interaction.
I'm glad that you figured out the situation with the routes. A longer route sounds really fun, and you will be keeping the other route, anyway, so it's fine.
You keep making me curious about the endings! Now, I want to get that ending too.
I wish online notepads had a spellchecker. It would make writing so much easier for me.
Speaking of writing, I've had writer's block for a few months now, but I really want to write about Noah and the Mc. My issue, besides writer's block, is that I think I have to be in a similiar situation to the mc, or at least be more familiar with the wilderness to write it, since they literally live in the wild.
Also, I would have to wait for the full game to know more about Noah, get a better understanding of his personality, and get more of the story/plot.
Writing all of that just now made me even more hesitant to consider writing it, because there is a LOT I could get wrong, leave out, or I could make Noah out of character.
I'll put that out of my mind for now, and stop writing the length of a two-page essay.
Stay safe, healthy, and happy!
