Hello this is a wonderful demo you have set up, and I love to see some of these systems in the original game they are so good. I got a good review, lets jump into
Improvements from our life now and always-
I love the new character customization system custom pronouns, gender terms, the ability to choose your birth sex from the start as well as height and weight(in the original birth gender as well height and weight(Minus hand size) was exclusive to step two and above which is both in optional chapters you may or may not skip.) plus mini features like dominant hand, clothing and accessories and even heterochromia and the ability to tune the shade of hair and eyes are wonderful additions to the start of our life
Another thing there are way more choices at any one time, and a bunch of them help you define your character, like there is so many choices it takes up the whole window in one case, and usually on average compared to the original game there are more choices even if just based around tone or personality then the original game.
One thing I also like is the fact you can customize your relationships in detail so you can for example be a teasing idolizing, and teamworking crush, I wish you can change mid game in between the chapters so for example complete prologue you can have the chance to select a crush or upgrade someone to friend or even become a follower from a timeworker.
I am poor at writing reviews honestly, and hopefully you understand this... Sorry if not...
Obligatory "I NEED MORE" comment:
It's fall, I heard that the release window is 2024 at the latest.
But is there any release window for a possible demo expansion, I don't care if it is a expansion of dialogue/choices, a couple of associates or hairstyles, or a couple of alternative dialogue lines for some choices.
It doesn't need to be the full first step, I am just waiting for the release date of the prologue part of "step 1"
This is assuming a demo expansion is planned when prologue, and/or step 1 is fully completed and/or stable and up to the "planned" standard.
