I wanted to do a character analysis since this game is still on my mind 2 days after playing it.
MC: Well adjusted college kid goes through some emotional trauma and spirals into a cycle of apathy and depression. He copes by shutting out the world and relying on the safety of his routine life. Many years later, the pain from the initial trauma is all but forgotten, but he remains stuck in the hole, living life like a drone. Gets jolted awake by a seemingly unobtainable infatuation which finally nudges him out of the comfort zone. With the help of the mysterious Elsa, he is on his way to self improvement through the good old "fake it til you make it" method. Will he be the same person when he reaches his goals? Will he turn into a corporate asshole? Will Alice even like what he becomes to seem worthy in her eyes? There certainly seems to be 2 "routes" possible. One is to act alpha and callous, practicing his interpersonal skills and confidence building with side chicks like Lucy. The other route, which I didn't play out, seems to be where he remains a genuine, but rather simpy, dude.
Alice: The pie in the sky. The pussy on the pedestal. The ultimate goal. We don't know much, but she certainly seems nice. Looks like she had some decent upbringing. That said, some of her spoiled nature is shown in subtle ways. She is also damn hot and she knows it. Probably very used to everyone hitting on her. What is she thinking when she catches the MC perving on her? Her true nature is not revealed and that really puts us on the same page as the MC. She seems like the perfect angel, but once we get to know her better, will she really be all that we made her out to be?
Elsa: The enigma. The ice queen. What are her motivations? What is her background? We can infer that she is super rich. Possibly from a very high class upbringing. What is she even doing in a low level position in the company? What was her introduction where it seemed like she was being propositioned by the CFO(?)? Maybe it wasn't propositioning. Maybe she is his daughter being assigned a low lvl position for training or something. I'm not sure. She is very confident. On top of things. Commanding aura. Not talkative. Good at reading people. Knows too much about the company and seems to be overqualified for her job. She is playing a game. Almost like the MC is her pet project. Why? She does seem genuine in considering the MC her friend though.
Lucy: The basic bitch. Possibly a gold digger. Clearly on a lower rung than Alice or Elsa in terms of social standing. I only did the path where you lie to her that you are some exec and bang her every chance as friends with benefits. She is certainly infatuated. She wants the MC. She is jealous. A bit clingy. But she is not a caricature. She still has her pride. She doesn't want to be just some side bitch to the MC and acts out in her own way. Super hot sex scenes.
Tommy(?): Best friend. Real bro. Outgoing. Grounded. Realistic. Playboy, but in a confident way rather than some pervy douchebag comic relief way. Don't want MC to hang his whole future on some girl he barely knows. The realistic expectation would be that he will fail to get her and then possibly go into an even bigger depression. Helps out the MC in his own way, by setting him up with chicks.
Boss: Forgot her name. We don't know much. She is said to be smart and competent. Bitchy. Looks down on others. Selfish. Real hottie though. Possibly blackmail target? Yummy.
That one redhead coworker: Forgot her name. She seems like she has feelings for MC. Pretty subtle tells though. Might be a red herring. What is her relationship with that other chick from the upper floor? She seems pretty timid. It also seems like she is being targeted by the office monkeys in some way.
Ex-gf: Super ultra clingy. Pretty unstable. Probably felt like MC was drifting away and that work out maniac roommate played on her insecurity to bang her. There is a choice for moving on or wanting revenge on her. We can guess that she will be back in the picture at some point. I like unstable relationships, so I kinda look forward to interacting with her again lol. Also, if the MC is climbing that corporate ladder, witnessing his success would be a blow to her. Doubly so if she actually ended up with that roommate and he failed to make anything out of himself. Triply so if she sees you getting chummy with Alice. I have many scenarios playing in my mind that would be really hot if she comes crawling back. It's also possible that she might be humanized and her mistakes put in a more sympathetic light. We will have to see.
