I enjoyed the main character’s narrative voice, which made him really feel like a cynical college student. There was an interesting push and pull between him and Lucas, and I could see how Reito was both drawn to and disturbed by him. I would’ve loved to see more choices to flesh out the cause and effects of Reito’s actions, but overall, this was a neat game!
Thank you, it means a lot to know the characters and dynamics came across! This story has been brewing in my head for a long while and there's more to tell. If I continue exploring these two, it might be a larger patch to this game (with more choices as well) or a whole sequel, not sure yet.
