I agree his white beard was ugly, because he seemed too old, now with black beard at least he seems more young but still forty's, which is great. Just like a teacher's age.
But I strongly desagree about him being creepy. You probably would think he's if he's not your type. Because if a person don't like older men, they probably would think he's a pervert or something because if a old men hitting younger persons they would think his intentions would be only to harass them. But all his actions towards the mc is too innocent (inviting for a lunch? Saying "good day"? "How's your day"? "Let's hang out again?" Oh god what a creepy) and we don't know him yet. His background, his life, if he's alone, got divorced or lost his son... Also this game is about depression. Would we think the only one in depression is just the mc? Would Owen's is not looking for him because he remembers someone to him? Well I can't say as much because I'm not writing this game and also the game just started. Most of the characters doesn't even have a background or said something about their lifes, except Seth. It's too soon to assumpt things.
I just hope this game continues to update and doesn't turns into an abandoned project like almost all furry games. I really want to know how this game finishes; specially Owen's rote. I really like him ♡
