Explanation to Negative Feedback
No need to write out giggling
It irks me.
I don’t know why it does, but given the fact that we get the audio cue for him giggling, it seems superfluous. That’s like reading a book and the author writing out every time the MC blinks. It’s not needed.
From plump cat to pawn
I just don’t understand the transition of us becoming an underling.
We went from not knowing why we’re here (a choice I made), to finding “reality,” and then becoming something of a soldier. Does that mean if in the end we don’t go along with the leader’s path for us, it’ll be like we’re a mole in his forces or something? Espionage?
“Disturb” misspelling
It’s the one word that’s basically always spelled wrong. I’m not sure if that makes him more disturbing or not.
Explanation to Positive Feedback
Storybook with maps
I really like the fact that this is all a story being told to Ive and there’s a possibility it’s a true story involving the man reading it–Uncle Viktor. And the storybook he’s reading has illustrations of where we can go and what we haven’t got to yet.
I didn’t test my theory, but I wonder if that means we might be able to backtrack in the story to a previous area to make a different choice, since those aren’t blocked off.
Progress bar
During choices there’s a bar at the bottom to signify what you are closest to–reality or question mark. I like that they show you what significance your choices are being used for as far as your alignment goes.
