If they can get back on track, when it first released I thought the initial release was phenomenal but then it took an extremely odd turn with a backstory that involved the pov of a character we hadn't even met yet.
You have to careful about spreading a story too thin and making people wait 1-2 years before you get back to content they care about.
The odd insertion of story of a character we have not met or the fact that MC just spills absolutely everything to this kid in a very soulless weird distant way.
The game took a very weird turn when the story started blasting you with very long flashbacks (which I hate to begin with) or him just oddly opening up to her without any care talking about some very messed up stuff.
As you said. The game started of great with a decent story and characters but took a huge downwards turn in my eyes with the suuuuuuuper lengthy flashbacks and to a character we have nearly 0 relations to.
Feels like this game is gonna go down that horrible route of inserting story for story sake and just blast it with twists and mystery that your general type of guy playing these games would not really care for.
I don't even remember if the flashbacks are over or not with how little I cared for the latest 2 updates when I went through them.
