I don't create the game according to the tags, but as I imagine it and as I think it will be fun to play.
From the beginning I want to offer the player a variety of choices. Some people find that this penalizes the development by making it longer.
Indeed it requires more work but I find that the game experience is more fun.
Depending on the mood I sometimes change my choices and experience something different from the first game. And then it's a game, so I might as well discover new habits. It's time to try new things.
For your information, I am alone on this project and I have an IRL job that takes a lot of my time. I wish I could offer you more content but I don't have enough time. Hence the importance of financial support. If I can gather a large community, everyone could give a little and that would allow me to create more good stories.
And yes, there will be adventures with several people, so why not
