so I just finished the recent chapter, and this is the first time I am checking this game out. I love it, the story is great, I love how it has that luicfer DC comic vibe to it, yet with a total twist (with the MC being a lot nicer and less of a douche than luicfer). though the one thing I must ask is if the choices made have any impact at all? I've saved at each point and replayed each one to see what the outcomes were to see what changes. but it doesnt seem to have much of a change in the short time.
what I did notice is that most of the choices are more like "do you want to see this sex scene with this character or not" which I am totally fine with. making this game more of a linear game with optional scenes. with how the story is written I feel this is a great thing.
but I wanted to ask since there is no walkthrough and there are a ton of choices (I think I had 5 pages full and this isnt including some choices that just seems obviously are just personal preference) if there are actual major branching paths that would alter the story in some way?
I just didnt want to go through every different permutation to figure it out and find out that I wasted my time just to see that I already saw everything. this is my one and only gripe about games without a walkthrough, that if they have so many choices that it takes forever to figure out all the different paths if you dont know where are all the major branches are. but if there are no major branches then this is just perfectly fine. I kind of wish there were tags for these to say what kind of games these are.
for example I'd call this more of a streamline game. follows one simple path with optional detours but will always end up back on the main path.
or Tree path games, where there are multiple branches that split off to start a whole different story line which could also have other many splits as well.
or open world events, where you just have an open map you can discover things and then events happen depending on where you go, but there never isn't really a wrong path, you just need to keep finding these events.
this would help a ton with players to know how much content we should be expecting and if its worth replaying it for other story paths.
