Looks like the devs did talk/poll the possibility of a human MC (which I guess he still technically is, on a spiritual level).
Wonder what the results to this was.
Edit: So I guess the answer is "Not right now, but maybe in the future, possibly only if it wins future patreon polls" Since it won the public poll, but lost the actual patreon poll (I assume.)
EDIT 2: Ohh.. I have an actual, concrete answer, it seems. (And yes, i did forget that patreon has a free tier. I am not a clever man.)
Tbh I get it, having to redo every single scene does seem like a ton of work, so it's understandable it didn't make it this release. Kind of weird it never popped up again, though.
As for the "It doesn't make sense with the story" argument. I both agree and disagree. Though I'm probably biased on my disagreement.
Edit 3:
Apparently it's confirmed that they are adding a human MC option, at least according to Discord. Damn, nice job, devs!I'll definitely be pledging whenever that update drops.
