Nice, yeah, since Bai and Adrian are among my favourites among the romantic options (at least in the top 5 probably with some combination of Nora, Izzy, Brandi, Jez and Tammy), to a large degree simply because there just aren't a ton of games out there with well-written trans characters or with a bisexual (male) MC, I'm not personally interested in a friend path for these characters, but it's a cool idea to have it in there.KrystofDayne, I've just read your review and thought you might be interested in two things.
The first is about Adrian. You wrote "And then, whether you choose to still be with her or not, the MC remains respectful and empathetic either way which is just awesome." In her latest roadmap for the next chapter RJ wrote:
Adrian Friend Path - I've been wanting to do this for a while, but just haven't really gotten the chance. You'll be able to decide to just be friends with Adrian - you can still hang out with her and experience some of her story, without the romance. I want to do this with Bai at some point as well.
I think this will add even more to her and MC's character.
The second is that I'm not sure, but I think you missed an[ISPOILER]

somewhere in the review, it's all somehow hidden under several layers of obfuscation.![]()
A lot of other games do this thing that I'm not a huge fan of, and almost feels like indulging some players' possible trans/homophobia, where they tell the player sometimes before you even meet the trans/gay character "beware, this character is trans/gay, do you want to continue on with this path?" and if you don't, you just never see the character again; like, why not still have them around even if you don't want to romance them? Not being sexually interested doesn't mean you have to cut these people completely out of your life. Always feels sort of icky to me. So yeah, a friend path could be cool.
The inline spoiler thing, I fixed it, thanks, apparently I've just become so used to the backslash from various programming languages, I instinctively used that one instead of the required forward slash
