I prefer the more linear approach for the most part because it lends a good bit of emphasis directly to the story and characters; however, we do plan on integrating a little more interactivity for the player within the narrative a little down the line. Nothing big or flashy, but it will allow you to explore the world a little and get to know the characters even better through optional content should you choose to engage in it.
If y’all have any questions about anything, feel free to ask whatever you might have in the “qna” channel of the discord server. As long as it doesn’t spoil anything, Irrelevant and I are usually wide open to answer questions.
