Thank you so much for your kind words! That's really nice to read, it's very much appreciated! I'll definitely take 'terrifying yet intriguing' haha! ^^
And that's a neat suggestion! I'm afraid the vast majority of Acts III and IV are already written, and certainly the plot is very much locked in at this point - and while there's almost no branching in upcoming parts, there's not none. (Also, I won't go into detail here because people might be reading this who haven't played Act II yet, but there is an alternate ending to one particular path, near the end, that may be the kind of thing you're looking for - and it's certainly not the last one of those we'll be seeing.)
Alternate endings like those aren't set to become a big feature though, apologies! At this point, it's not really within the scope of the project to insert too many branches; for the most part, the branching will remain tied to the romantic scenes and largely separate from the overall plot (and I also think that brings a certain tension that serves the story well). I've got loose plans for a future VN with a bit more brancheyness that definitely sounds like it might be of interest to you, but obviously we won't be seeing that for a couple of years at minimum, ha. Anyway, I hope this information helps, even if it wasn't quite what you were looking for. Thank you for playing and enjoying the game, it means a lot! ^^
DLC? I would gladly support that!
It could be an add-on of super short stories that completely branch off, so you wouldn't need to create elaborate branches intertwining with the current story, but it at least gives you a chance to experience something better than redacted scenarios.
Please let us have a better ending with all these wonderful characters you've created! :P
Hahaha I'm definitely not ruling out any kind of extra AU chapter once the main game is all finished and released, but I've not put that much thought into the specifics of what kind of setting that would be, or how much similarity that would have to the main game. It's always an option, though!
(I think being somewhat of an AU would help reconcile it with the themes of the main game itself - whereas I'm not as eager to write something that subverts the events of what is otherwise the same story/setting. But this is all extremely conceptual right now, so I can't say either way~)
I'm glad you're enjoying the characters that much though! ^^ A couple of people have asked for something like this now. I'll put serious thought into what kind of nicer (though emphatically bonus) content I may potentially want to work on at some point in the future!
Haha no, this is a small indie game! I have actually wondered whether Attack on Titan fans might potentially enjoy it - it's similar in that it's quite an unforgiving war story with a large cast, in a European-esque setting.
But past those broad strokes, I'd definitely give caveats before recommending it to anyone wanting something like AoT, because it's quite different! Because We're Here is a romance (it's an otome dating sim), and it's based on World War One in particular. It's mainly about daily life in the war for low-ranking soldiers on both sides of the conflict - the tone is very low-key and conversational, and the fighting is never really the main focus. And while it's a fictional setting, it's a very grounded depiction of WWI - as in, there are no fantasy/magical elements to the story or world.
So I don't think I could confidently say all AoT fans would enjoy BWH, but I think some of them definitely could find something to like here! ^^ I hope this helps~
