Oh wow, thank you for the detailed feedback, RinRan! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this constructive criticism.
We originally planned for each choice to have a score system to impact the story and unlock different routes, but due to delays and asset preparation issues, we didn't finish it in time for the jam. Illusionary choices were extra and not prioritized, but since we've passed the deadline, we can add some for player satisfaction without altering the storyline too much.
Regarding Sev, her situation is tricky because of multiple factors. Sev's naivety comes from her sheltered upbringing, causing her to reject Shyloh's warmth due to unfamiliarity and being overwhelmed. Her choice of villains is triggered by the choking scene with Helios. We can reduce red flags from the pixies and introduce a relevant story twist sooner to balance perceptions.
All in all, I'm going to try my best to address the stuff you mentioned. Some aspects are a little set in stone since changing them would mean altering someone's character or the story plot significantly, but others are easier to adjust ^^
I'm really glad to hear that you're curious about the other villains as well! I'm planning to introduce some twists to explore their backstories and what led them to become who they are. I hope you'll enjoy these additions and find them to be an engaging experience!
