I 100% agree! My absolute favourite route in s1 was Virion (which happened to be the first I went for after debating for so long since all characters were so interesting and I had a really hard time deciding lol) and his reaction when finding Thyia again was heartbreaking :( I replayed it 5 times and I swear I'm not exaggerating! The chase in the woods, the CGs, the sobs, baby Kayda going "Mama who this?" and Virion repeating her words in a passive-aggressive, etc. Everything was just so good I cannot express how much I love the story and the characters! I'm extremely glad I accidentally stumbled upon your game when trying to procrastinate and played it or I would have missed out on such an amazing game. And I really missed the minigames lol I always enjoyed playing a game inside a game :)) And I may be biased but Kayda as Virion's daughter is just so damn adorable :( He little ears, and white curls :((
Anyway, tl;dr this prologue was so enjoyable and I cannot wait for more. It's obvious you're passionate about this project and I thank you for making it available to all. I cant wait to get to know the new characters as well; Theoren seems like a lil shit I love that lol
