“The story was engaging for every character, and it felt like your choices genuinely mattered rather than you just being pulled along, as if watching a movie.”
“The story is absolutely top-tier; every character has a special something that brings it to life in the best way possible, and the copious amounts of fourth-wall breaks and jokes are perfectly placed.”
“The story has different paths based on your choices, leading towards different relationships with others and different endings, adding to the replay value.”
“If these first few story beats are any indication for the rest of the way - both my current path toward utopia and in any other paths I'll walk down afterward - it'll be amazing to see it all through.”
“The story/lore goes much deeper than I first expected and I am very thrilled for the next update.”
“The fact that most of the cast and the development team identify as queer brings an extra layer of realness to the story, something you might not find in other games.”
