I found the entire quest line to be fast and loose, and skipping a lot of opportunities to enrich the experience further, but overall it was alright. I like it. The characters are written pretty well. They've got their own personalities without being overly trope like, and the aesthetic and designs of everything is real nice. The new player home is really good since it has everything your Orbiter has. Unlike the Dormizone, you actually have a reason to stay there long term. Hollvania mall is a nice hub area. I wish there was more stuff to interact with in there.

Oh, also fun fact for anyone who doesn't know. One of the arcade games is playable in the mall!

Because you spoiled it.

*The context for the joke was poorly implemented. That's my bad.

Yeah I loved the update, the story was just okay for me personally. But the true ending after you get maxed relationships actually gave me a feeling of healing on a personal level lol.

I liked it a lot.

I like that this quest is explicitly for the Drifter, rather than the Operator, with the Drifter intruding in because we want to be tall and done with puberty.

Ofcourse it was. Between the first quest and the finale where we actually got to know each member of the via alternate reality icq only to pull off that final stunt with explanation from entrati it all clicked together.

But as usual, haters gonna hate.

[Societas]

Introduce the concept of Eternalism, which basically ruins all your stakes, because why would you care about consequences and causal order of events when everything and nothing matters at the same time and also timey wimey void magic and stuff.

Introduce an antagonistic entity that goes by the name Indifference and exactly encapsulates that erosion of stakes and "why would I care". Taunting the player with the futility of their pursuits.

Then drop a questline where the only way to overcome Indifference is to care about people who do not matter and you have no reason at all to care about.

The execution of the entire thing is stumbling a bit. But the themes work pretty well on a metaphysical level.

It is almost pottery.

Did people really think after the Orb Mother missions, Entrati family drama, and Cavia horror logs that there wouldn't be more to it after some rep grinding? The damn space cat tells you as much directly if you talk to it before you're ready.

Honestly, I've become so cynical when it comes to this kind of thing that I genuinely thought we're gonna be stuck with the bad ending and have to wait for more updates to get more missions to eventually maybe unlock the good ending.

Glad that DE instead made the reactor a milemarker rather than a finale on the Hex's story.

Hah, don't worry. You weren't alone in that. I was thinking the same thing. But they made it work while keeping the syndicate system in tact. I was kind of hoping for more of a "change" after the quest, but at least we're moving forward.

I've always kind of wanted some more of a "living world" system, but that would be really hard to pull off perhaps.

I'm happy with the quest, even though it was better if we would have gotten more background info on the who, how and why of things. And it actually makes sense they have to like you for the story to continue. Or rather, they have to trust you.
