Greta is the true antagonist of Minotaur Hotel. She's that one coworker nobody wants.

Real talk though, great update, exactly what I was waiting for. Can't wait for more of big boi Asterion. And more hugs 🤗

To comment on the R&D/Explore system: it's fine but I'll wait for more updates to it before completely judging it. I'll admit I was a little confused cuz I thought maybe assigning Asterion to Guests would get more guests in, but I don't think it had any effect aside from some dialogue changes. There is the obvious oversight of the dialogue acting like you haven't managed to set up internet when you already have. Also I don't know how Danger works, is it a random chance that increases with the number? Is 0 Danger completely safe? Is there a reason to R&D past 5/5 points or does it only count when the story requires you to research something?

I do think the lore drops are a nice addition, I'd like to read all of them eventually. Though it's easy to "reroll" and see any one you want by saving and loading right before the point where you obtain the drop, but that's not really a big deal imo.

Thank you for your input.

Although it may sound counterintuitive, even if we didn't intend that I consider that a good unintentional feature. We didn't have to pack the game with so many lore drops this early but everyone's cooped up at home, so adding in more stuff to give the game more shelf life felt like the morally correct thing to do — I think we can all use some fun and distractions. At the same time I personally think making the player replay the game twenty times from scratch to see it all is a bad thing.

Being able to reroll easily/abuse/exploit the system for now is good thing, then. There's extra content but the player doesn't have to throw hours at it. We might fix that later, but for now I'm glad that's possible. Thank you for bringing this up, by the way — I wasn't aware that was possible.
