Haha, don't worry about the rambling! Personally, that's always my favorite part lol
First off, thank you for your kind words and thoughts so far, it's really motivating to see how passionate you are in your review! I'm glad to see that the frustrations of playing as a truly despised villainess are coming through. We're actually planning on further expanding variations in experiences and choices in the earlier chapters, as well as locking in on some pretty THICK path experiences in the third chapter... be prepared. And rest assured! Character relationships, histories, and development are a big focus of the game, so the shadow of the real Cecilia will continue to hang over you as you play and learn about her life. As for characters, it seems that Hermes has bagged another loyal fan (we'll see how that goes)! But if your standards are low, then mine are lower because Cassius is my king <333. And the Marquess... well, he's an interesting case. The next narrative update will definitely add some more factors to the mix! Thanks again for playing <3
