Thank you for the feedback, Tanxui! Unfortunately with STELLA being a story without any sci-fi or fantasy elements, I think it is more difficult to create any interesting "hooks" aside from well-written characters and interactions to keep people engaged. Where I lack in a setting without those fantastical elements, I hope I can make up for with more deeply-written, realistic, and lovable character dynamics and personalities.
With this being the introduction of the game, its world, and its characters, I hope I can write future updates with more engaging and enjoyable situations, conversations, and dialogue in general.
