does oial pick up after the beginning because I tried playing it for the first time a few days ago and it seemed like a bore, and i just dont find the 2 main girls attractive. if its anything like eternum, ill fs try it again but idk rn
It does get better, but keep in mind you are essentially following the dev on their path on getting as good as they are now with Eternum. And there is a strong focus on the two characters you mentioned. The overall artstyle and character design does not change over the course of the game except one small fun part
where the MC gets a haircut and is definitely subpar compared to Eternum. The humor is very Caribdis though and is easily comparable, that alone kept me entertained for pretty much the entire game. But if you don't feel good with it, don't force yourself. There are a few references to OIAL in Eternum but you do not really
need to have played it. But maybe ask in OIAL thread, its still very much alive, just not as active as this one.
