But you're sitting with Isabella. That's a win in my book! (kidding)I had a Game Over at the point where a girlfriend marched into a pub with another man.
Yeah, she was a bit of a plot device and probably the thing I regret the most, but I still felt it was needed. In hindsight, I should have left that part offscreen and just discussed it later. There are some discussions later in chapter one and especially in the upcoming chapter 3 about why he made a bad decision in picking her. We all make mistakes. I also didn't want them all to be single at the start of the game, because given their ages (23 - 38) it would be strange if all the mains were single. I didn't think people would like the love interests being in a relationship, so I made it be the MC. Sorry. I tried to get over that part of the story really quickly and barely have them talk at all so people wouldn't become attached to Miranda. But again in hindsight, talking about it and not seeing it would have been more palatable by many. This event also provided a reason to bring Isabella and the MC back together. It's a pretty brutal shared experience, and something that will bring them closer and provide reasons to deeply discuss their relationships, their personal flaws, and their future.
