Wow ! I came from OL1 and I fell in love with the story and characters. But this game got me to. I really enjoyed the characters dynamics and personalities. They're well rounded and relatable. Tamarack and Qiu are both sweet in their own way. Thus, befriending them seems really natural and cool. I also liked seeing Baxter here as I liked him too.
Besides, being able to customize our MC this much was so great. I was okay with stories where I can't see my character because in the other way it was awkward. As I like creating my own MC this was fun ! I also like the way you depict various kind of characters in term of sexuality, personality or even the kind of family they grew up in. It's beautifully done and it matters.
Thank you for this astounding game. I don't know how many efforts you put in this but it was definitely worth it.
