Yup. Not making Eve an LI should be a crime haha. I mean look at that rack and solid personality.
She's the kinda girl you actually need to survive in an apocalypse.
I hope dev focuses on her character more than the initial duo or trio. Now & Then had 1 or 2 outstanding characters that did not get enough screentime and character development.
Don't think she'll be killed off. I think the furthest dev would be willing to go is turning her into a special Witch that still retains her consciousness.
Yeah, Eve is probably best girl already. Really looking forward to more of her, and it seems like next update is going to be a very Eve-focused chapter.
I kinda got the same feelings about Kallie as you. I was thinking Laura would be the first to start showing signs of transformation, since she got a very heavy dose of toxin at the start, but then Kallie got a direct blast from the burned one outside the dorms.
I think there's still the possibility of dev killing off Shelley, depending on how the player chooses to treat her. She's super unstable, and if you're not on her friendship or love route, I could see her just wandering off into the fog, never to be seen again.
I'm not really a fan of Shelley, so I've just stuck to her friendship route, since I don't dislike her enough to want her to die, but I don't want a relationship with her. One thing that bugs me, though, is that dev doesn't distinguish her friendship and love routes quite enough. There are several dialogues that check "if s_friend >= x or s_love >= x", that should be "if s_love >= x elif s_friend >= x" with separate dialogues based on which route the player is on. In this update, for example, MC refers to Shelley as being "friends with benefits" if on either her friendship or love routes, but in my playthrough there have been no "benefits" with her, so it's a bit jarring.
