I love the game but I feel like the dev has messed up his story. The game is good but is trying to appeal to too many people. For example I could not care less about Tara, shes kinda boring imo, but we had a chapter dedicated to her because of how vocal some people are.
The same for nts, i have almost no idea why some people are playing an nts and than suggesting stuff to make it more vanilla and less nts - and the dev does this. So now he cant go hard in the nts direction, without it being a lot more work compared to the more vanilla routes.
I feel like it probably would've been better have 2 different games, one more vanilla and more nts game where u can further into anything. Because for right now, the story is progressing but the actual kinks have remained the exact same since chapter 15 - i would like some newer stuff there. But ik wed never have anything too crazy bc it's a lot more work.
Sometimes giving the illusion of choice is better than actual choice because its more work. If people didnt like the kinks at the start they couldve stopped playing at the start. Now everyone is invested - and the story is stuck in the middle
