You can only progress one item at a time.
Wrong, you can move between characters freely as long as they don't need you to advance another path first.
Where the frig is the mother? After the first scene she disappears.
Click CAIN on the sidebar, it'll show you every character in the game and what you to do to progress with them. The mom will be in "House".
That is not free roam. Just being able to move around the map is NOT free roam.
And the 9 pages of shit he expects you to read before making a choice does not help
It's a kinetic novel. Based on the volume of shit the dev expects you to read alone
You're terrible with categories. If you can Roam Freely through a map, not just during quests, then it's a free-roam game, and "the volume of shit the dev expects you to read" has nothing to do with whether it is a fucking Kinetic Novel or not, that's a moronic thing to say. This game is clearly not for you, I don't get why you're invested in it.
I get saying that there's a lot of text but that is not at all a bad thing. Every event in this game is a masterpiece, it's shocking to me that some of you are complaining about the scenes being too long. I played through the update one of these days and all I could think was how I'd like an entire book with writing as good and fun as the one in Megan's 4th event, it's crazy good.
The text is the best part of this game, mostly because the free roam kinda sucks. This really should have just been a VN.
I think it'll be better once there are more events around the map. I think it feels barren right now because it's relatively early in development, but that will improve with time.
