Yay! New chapter!! Can't play yet, thou I'm very excited :)
I just play the chapter. It was so good. I thought it was really hard to continue the story and you did it perfectly. And also, Bo fucking Burnham?! I used to have a Bo Burnham phase and I think you characterized him so well, I loved the interactions between him and Jreg. Especially the phonecall scene.
(Spoilers i guess)
I love seeing how Brogan, that seemed the hero at first, becomes crueler and more powerful, like "the end justifies the needs" type. And Jreg, who wanted to convince people to kill themselfs, realizes that he doesn't want that, because it would leave him alone. It's like if you took the horseshoe theory to a narrative level, and that is fucking sick.
Good one Boreality! You really showed those games how boss!
But, unironically, very good game: loved the story (and lore of the afterlife), loved the humor (you nailed their personalities), loved the moral questions, loved the music. I hope to see more
Also I would be so cool to get Patricia in pod fr
Thanks NocteJ, thats awesome to hear!
For updates, admittedly I've fallen into The Dip with this project- but I do plan to finish it
if patricia goes on the pod we riot (in a good way)
I understand must be dificult doing all that, you alredy did a lot, take your time :)
I made some fanart, it's not very good, but, idk, I just wanted to share
