I don't think I ever really played the first game, though I'm sure I downloaded it at some point and tried it out but just didn't put much time into it. Point is, I don't have the first game as a frame of reference to compare this one to.
How much content is here? I've read through the comments in the thread and it does sound like there's a decent amount of stuff to explore, but how many hours could one expect to get out of this release? Would it be something you could fully explore within 2-3 hours, or would you need multiple play sessions to see everything the game has to offer?
No judgment from me here, by the way. I absolutely love the sound of this, I just don't want to "spoil" the experience for myself by playing it too early in the development cycle. The concept sounds great, and as you can probably tell from my username I'm a massive fan of adult interactive fiction so text-heavy games are perfect for me if the writing is decent.
As an aside, I truly appreciate the fact that you're trying to focus on a male MC instead of trying to juggle multiple protagonist options. Ironically, multiple protagonists actually means the game would have *fewer* gameplay options for each, and a single protagonist means the game will have *more* options available to the player. That's not always obvious, and it's not something a lot of people realize unless they have an understanding of how games are developed.
Best of luck with the game, I look forward to trying this one. If there's a decent amount of content I'll give it a download, but if it's just an hour or two then I'll probably wait for a few more releases so I don't spoil it for myself.
