Hello Mr. Atemsiel. It's me again. I hope you remember me from my last really long comment a few months ago. I have just finished palying the current version of the game. I unlocked everything there is to unlock and got possibly every combination of choices i could think of. I have to say, my opinion of this game just keeps improving as the updates come.
I don't have much criticism this time around. Just one comment and two questions.
I really like your style of writing. The highlight of this update for me was the scene in which Olivia is getting pestered by Ashley and Paige. So far Olivia has been portrayed as an incredible bitch that is just a pain to be around. But in this scene we get to see her in her backfoot and being kinda of uncomfortable. It really does a lot to expand her character. I think one of the hallmarks of good writing is multifaceted characters. People aren't one dimensional and no one fits nicely into any specific box, so it's nice when characters in fiction are the same way.
What is the planned scope for the game? and how far along would you say it is, percentage wise? The game is already quite long (in terms of duration) and big (in terms of content) but where the story is right now, it makes me think we're not even a third of the way done. So how long is this supposed to be?
And last i wanted to formerly ask for a feature (which might be really hard to implement). And that is the possibility to jump to any point of the story and be able to choose all of the choices you could've made up to this point. Maybe like a screen with all the different choices that have happened up to that point and you could just pick the answers. The way the game is right now, it's really annoying to sometimes have to go back the entire game, sometimes, just to get a scene on a progression path i would otherwise have no interest on. And while this might be because the game is not finished, it kinda just wastes a lot of time with me just holding the CTRL key down to skip all the stuff i've seen already, just to get to the one part where i get to make a different choice. While this can be, and is, alleviated by having name saves, it still is a problem when one progression path relies on multiple choices. So if i have a save at one choice, but i needed to have made a different choice earlier and i don't have a save for that, i still need to go back all the way and skip through stuff.
But anyway that's all from me. Thanks for reading all the way.
Also when does 22.07 drop? 👀
