Seems lots of the recent discussions around Eliza verified a claim I made earlier about Eliza being the main LI. However, I think the way Buu ended things leads to a bit more nuance that is hard to see given how chapter 3 ends. I'll share all of my thoughts behind a spoiler.
WARNING: Major spoilers for chapter 3 AND 4. If you don't want the beginning of Ch 4 spoiled do not read. You've been fairly warned.
BuuPlays - Now that I've fully recover from that bombshell of an ending, I was thoroughly impressed with how much content was added in the wrapping up of chapter 3. Your dialogue has shown improvements, your writing is still impeccable, and your renders have dramatically improved since chapter 1.
I think there is a good chance you are spot on with your analysis of the relationship between the two LI's and the light and dark paths. Early on I chose to concentrate on a Paladin type character and Eliza has fit that choice well from a companion/follower perspective. I feel reasonably certain that BuuPlays will take into account that a Lawful-Good character will kill just as quickly as a Chaotic-Evil one - given the right circumstances.
Thank you everyone for the feedback on the latest update!
I'm working hard to get the first update of chapter 4 ready for you in july. It's been great to read your theories of what has happened / will happen!

Talon wants to push the MC into the dark side, thus he tried and I say tried because the game is over if he succeeded, to give the MC the push by killing Eliza - which has better failed

I don't think turning to the dark would result in a game over. It most definitely will lead to a darker undertone for the story as our MC becomes a murderous psychopath, but I genuinely believe a dark path will lead to an entirely different ending than if you stayed on the light path.
Buu has also mentioned that both paths are viable, and that you're free to make both sets of choices as you see fit. However, I do believe that there will be 3 main crossroads that gradually lock in the MC's morality:
If Buu is as good as I think he is, he almost certainly has setup his story to follow the 3 Act structure. Otherwise, everything I mentioned behind the spoiler gets thrown out the window (for the most part).
What if eliza is in a coma? It would be a good way to flesh other characters while not pissing everyone off about her fate. You can still have scenes of MC visiting her and sometimes hearing her thoughts
