I like the writing style here and I'm interested to see where this story goes, though I quickly started to resent every single one of the characters, including the MC. It gets pretty grating to have the MC constantly showing how angry and upset they are, only to have all of the other characters constantly chide and belittle them for it. I would appreciate some options that are a little more cold or unemotional, maybe some options that allow them to use some coping mechanisms they've developed to control themself? Since they're a trained agent, it seems a little weird that they don't seem to have any self control whatsoever. The drawn out descriptions about how sad, wet, pathetic little Rohan looks every time you say anything mean make it feel like the MC is being forced to feel bad for them - I don't know if that was intentional. I very much appreciated the option to flat out kill Rohan (the only sane option imo, but to each their own).

Agreed, honestly. The devs clearly like to insert their characters from other games, and that's fine, but it never feels very organic or interesting imo. In the first Our Life game Shiloh and Jeremy felt the same way, especially in act 3. I was like, why am I here? Why am I being forced to interact with them? I didn't play your other game, I don't care about these people.
Your writing is so fantastic. I absolutely love the amount of choices available to us for building our characters, not just superficial appearance choices, but actual personality choices! That feels so rare in IF. I also saw you mentioned you can be on good terms with the characters even if you disagree with them, that made me so happy! I'm always so excited to find a good story with choices and character interactions that don't rely heavily on stats.
