Hi, I have a question about the one character rule: 

-can a faceless player character interact with the sprite character? Or the  player character count as one characters so the sprite character have to be the player character and it have to be essentially an one-man show where the only thing the character can interact with is the background?

 -If the character talk about their interaction with someone in the past, does the people they mentioned count against the character count?

Hi saitoki, the one character is only for the "sprite", which means you can have many more characters in your story, also interacting, as long as they are not shown. For example you can have a press conference where a person (1 sprite) is in a press area (1 background), and you can have several reporters ask questions.

The same goes with the second question, you can mention and interact with as many characters as you need to (in the present or past), as long as only one sprite is used in the game.
