In my first playthrough, I ended up alone. Rayne's proposition wasn't something that I wanted, and I turned down Keira's challenge. Both of these just close their paths with no way back. I got the impression that the writer wanted to show that people have different sides to them, and the player shouldn't write them off immediately... But then showing us their worst side and closing their path if we don't put up with that, I am not convinced that was a good decision. At least give us a glimpse of their "good side" first? It's like the "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best"-fallacy. After learning about Rayne's sensitive side, I went on her path on my 2nd playthrough.
If you visit the gym after turning down Keira's challenge, she'll decline Caleb's apology as a way to show him how bad it feels to be turned down. This, for me, was the weakest part of (the relatively weak) first day. Where Caleb approached her as an equal, or maybe even a tad submissive, Keira came to him aggressively. Entirely different situation. Caleb then feeling bad about what Keira said just felt wrong to me because he had no emotional investment in her at that point. His need, for whatever reason, to be accepted by Keira, felt out of character.
My favorite character is probably cocaine sugar fairy. I like how ethereal she feels, and I'd love to romance her in a future chapter.
Luckily, once all these introductions are done, the game/story really picks up.
This is interesting. The first time we see Marie and Invictus talk, Invictus mentions Silver to her. To me, it sounded negatively, as if Silver's group was opposing Invictus' goals. I'm not convinced this is the right interpretation, do you have thoughts about that? With Lilith's involvement and "adoption" of Caleb, maybe vampires are opposed to Invictus, and Marie is using them for her own goals?
and I like how he actually acknowledges it, so he is self aware.
