This looks amazing!

Well I have lurked here long enough I guess. An AI making the decisions? Well no thanks for me... I am a fan of decision making as a player and that AI is taking over the world... is not a thing I like so I goodbye for now. I will see how this unfolds and will still follow the thread (hopefully to one day see a let's play of this.) but I won't play this game. Well since I am just a lurker you haven't lost anything I guess. Sorry about this but this pushed a button... and not the good kind xD
A shame this game looked really good.

Totally understandable! Thanks for keeping up with the game! Hopefully it'll end up being something you can enjoy in some way.

I will say you as a player do still make a ton of important decisions. Linus just doesn't have to agree with them 100% of the time. :p

This sounds great and I welcome it! I think it is a great twist to take control from the player. It might lead to various interesting scenarios. You might even restart the game just to get more likable Linus.

And the video's just wow!

Aw thanks! Well, the goal isn't really to make Linus an unlikeable character. He is still someone the player will (hopefully) want to root for and care about. So while he may have disagreements with the protagonist and other characters, the goal is to have a relationship with him that's not a flat plateau, but one of peaks and valleys.

One of the main tenants of this concept is to make the relationship between the player and Linus more realistic than what you see in other games. In the real world, every relationship has its ups and downs. With your friends, loved ones, siblings, ect you fight, you make up, you go through shit together and there can be both resentment and respect. I thought this would be an interesting facet to explore in an RPG. :p

This is super pretty!

Wow thanks so much for the review! I do agree with a lot of your criticisms and a lot of them are being addressed for the next demo release. I'm focusing a lot on making the story flow better and making it more easily digestible. Glad you enjoyed it though!

@Martimus Wow, thank you for the kind words! You're right on with your criticisms about there being a bit too much info crammed down the player's throat at the start. I did cut out a few scenes and made some of them shorter. I think it flows a bit better now.

Let me know what you think of the full prologue if you finish it!
