Honestly, I Loved V0.1 The fateful choice felt really interesting for multiple reasons. First, it put in opposition morale and reasoning. All the clues where there to show that following Enna was a morally grey decision at best and that not accepting her offer may result in us going back to the eternal slumber. So it put the player in a difficult situation and force them to think about their answer. How far are you willing to go? Would you rather die than submit to someone with the power of life or death over your head. And that is just on the player feeling side. There are also gameplay reasons why I like that choice and how it is executed. It shows the player that this is a game with wrong decisions. And also that the game will let us try again without to much consequences. That combined with the ''detective'' sequence make me wonder if the correct answer to go forward might not always be in your face making it a kind of puzzle game. Also I wonder about secret bad ends.
I am also looking forward to the shop management portion of the game. That one is a real mystery for me. Pitched as the financing portion of the game.
Up to this point it is really promising. also the improvement on Mist are already showing.

While I agree with you to some extent, the main problem with that choice is that it basically becomes "Do you want to play this game or not?". And even if we ignore that; the player really has no context of the person so there is very little to go on from a role playing perspective to choose one or the other. And for those of us who think the reject option is the sensible option the choice becomes a forced one.

Well to me it is also supposed to feel that way. In my first post I compare the two choices as one being on the side of morale and ethics and the other on the side of reasoning. I am never talking anywhere about a sensible choice. that is for the player to decide. I am with you in that this was a hard decision for me. On one end refusing to submit to a witch who seems up to no good has all the Danger neon signs over it. On the other she already raised us from the dead, she already has power over us. So I don't feel like we will live long by not submitting to her ( spoiler the game does not go far in that direction.)
As a player that choice does not feel good, but it is interesting and making me feel something witch is great. Honestly does the abrupt end surprise you after that choice? Because it didn't surprise me. You could say that I expected it. I already saw it in other games. Not word for word but almost. The difference is that here I feel, as a player, that this choice is more than just for novelty. Well it might be now seeing how Rathieu was affected by the feedback to this first version.
In AVN we are spoiled, we rarely have choices where we feel two parts of ourselves torn apart. To me seeing all those reaction to this particular choice tells me that the dev succeeded in presenting us with a truly difficult choice that is not simply pulling an Acting lesson on us. Perhaps he did it too well?

well its not like she did what she did out of the good of her heart, she did it because she wants something from you, so why should i do her biding?The Sentiment is most touching

because you equally want something from her? (the "something" being her bringing you back from death)

The dead don't want anything, they are dead!
Why should I be grateful for being dragged back from my eternal slumber.
if MC wants to life because of his backstory dont make it a choice.

A sentiment that I can agree with in real life, but it makes for a rather short and boring story.

It's looking even better than Mist. We gonna have to wait and see if the story is as good, but after Mist being as good as it is, I'm pretty confident this game is going to be good. I'm just not sure if animations of a frame rate so smooth and so high quality is easy to make for the updates to be frequent, but let's see.
I am trying out the game and so far I think the sound design is pretty well done. It certainly makes the game feel very mysterious. I am unsure what to think of the story yet since I am only a few scenes in, but we will see.
am kind of expecting some Fem-dom due to how the game starts, which is not really my cup of tea, but I think as long as it is not too extreme I will continue on since I have high expectations for the quality of the story as well as animations because of the last game that was worked on.
I look forward to seeing what comes of the game as it is developed.

Quite short release, but very high quality. Music fits, atmosphere is pretty good and I love journals/glossaries etc instead of a huge wall of text. Looking forward to new updates
One thing that concerns me: the developer written about how he expected more positive feedback. I just hope he'll make this game how he wants it to be and not listening much to people suggestions, cause it usually makes things worse. Dont compromise man and good luck.
