Thank you so much for these awesome comments! I particularly liked the 'Always Sunny' one, it being one of my favorite shows of all time, haha! I'd never thought about the dialogue in that way before, but now you've pointed it out, I can kinda see it myself...
So, to answer a couple of your other points -
1. No spoilers, obviously, but there's NO WAY Sunset will let Chisato get away with her bullshit much longer. Right now, Chisato has all the power, but the question is, do we
really know the reasons behind the ways she's abusing it? Maybe some of her actions are a little more justified than we think. Maybe she's not the one pulling as many of the strings as we assume. Maybe it's all on her, and she's an even worse person than we suspected. We don't know yet, but we DO know that Sunset will take down ANYONE who tries to hurt her family...
2. You're absolutely right with your Mirai comments. I've also known people with similar problems, and it's never an 'easy fix' - not that a 'fix' is even realistic in most cases. Working to understand the problem and finding ways to limit and accept the behaviours on the terms of the person affected is really the only way forward. Of course, Mirai's issues are amplified a little for dramatic effect, but the avenues to helping her are going to be similar. It won't be easy, but you WILL be able to get Mirai into a safe, happy place. IF you choose to.
3. The lack of buzz - yeah, to be honest, it's pretty disheartening at times. But the positive reviews and comments really keep me going, and constructive criticisms are always appreciated! Promoting a game like this is really difficult. Things like Reddit, Twitter and Instagram are a total fucking mystery to me, which doesn't help, but me and the girls aren't going anywhere. And even though the game has very few subscribers, the ones I do have are incredibly supportive and a big part of things behind the scenes. We'll just keep doing our best and maybe the support will take off one day
