The dev is way to damn good at making an actual character arc and letting the player care about those characters. I couldn't even bring myself to play the last couple updates to AL until a couple weeks ago because I was dreading what would happen. I will try this game in time but frankly I am still hurting. Worth the ride in the end but rough for those of us who still have a soul buried somewhere under the shriveled lump of emotional scar tissue left behind by an uncaring world.
