You're probably right about that. That means we're in for some drama in the game that directly affects the MC, not just his friends. That, in turn, could breathe new life into the game and finally introduce a bit of a main story. So far, the game's story has primarily been carried by the stories of the individual characters, and we're still asking ourselves, what is the actual story of the game itself?
I love the game more than anything. There is no other game that I have followed with such enthusiasm since the first day of its first release. But to this day, I still wonder what it is actually about. I have a lot of guesses, but the penny hasn't really dropped yet. The developer is hiding it quite cleverly, or there really isn't any main story at all and it's really just everyday college life and the individual fates of all the people you meet. I think we won't know until it's finished one day
