I appreciate your critique and I think I could definitely improve the variety of choices you can make and flesh them out more. In that scene there's 3 options that are intended to cover how you can respond in that situation: 1) being someone who understands Rori's viewpoint but not necessarily to his extreme, 2) being a gentle rebuttal that tries to inject some lightheartedness into his rant and 3) a general response that leads into some questions you can ask. The scene is meant to reveal a glimpse into Rori's beliefs and lead into some of the trauma he's experienced that you'd see in chapter 4. After that decision tree he quickly moves on from the topic, feeling like he's shared too much but it is important for his character and his arc as you'll see in future chapters.
Thanks for the reply, that idea let Rori really interesting (It was quite unexpected of him).
Another question I wanted to ask: I remember playing a short demo years ago where we could choose the MC's gender. I recall it didn't happen right at the start, there were a few minutes of gameplay before the selection option appeared. Is that still part of any new scene? If so, are the romances genderlocked? (To be specific, can you date Claire as a woman?????)
A long time ago (before the rewrite), there was an option to play as a female and, for player convenience, everyone was bisexual. There were very VERY few instances where the player's gender mattered in that version and there didn't seem to be much demand for a playable female character so I made the change to focus on an exclusively male player character.
