Cool.
Hostage situations are always better when you can choose to make bad choices for no other reason than to spite the captors.
(And, also.... I'm a million times more likely to be villain than a hero. And if there exist a real villain in your game, I'd probably end up falling for him. lol)
Even -if- you like the other guys (the jester is kinda creepy-cute, he knows too much to not be suspicious) there is always that second play-trough. It's the beauty of games.
I look forward to more updates then. ^_^
