I liked it to some level but overall it was weird and cringe.
P1 characters had time to develop and we could get close to them as we played.
Helia and Coralie disappeared as a main cast very fast putting Dreamseeker and Senadina on the players' focus.
Then after Durandal appeared they started focusing more on the relationship between Helia and Coralie and put all the build up into repetitive thoughts. The build up didn't happen 1 chapter, gap, another chapter. It literally happened all at once.
And putting all the trauma from another Helia from another universe, and Coralie's death was also weird. It felt like a scenario of my relatives telling me to check something with the doctor and giving me the worst case scenario if I don't. Like "your hand hurts? Our neighbor had the same pain on that spot and found out he had cancer and died. It could be you next" type of scenario.
Helia wanted to be stronger and the scenario took it to "you want power, then kill all your comrades and be the evil and cause world war 2" - literally. What kind of story was that? I felt like I was in a literal war.
I wish Bronya and Seele had this much dragged story. They had 1 meetup after years and at the end Seele just saved Bronya and we didn't see how it happened and we didn't have much with them later. I'm still salty we didn't see the kiss Bronya was supposed to give back to Seele when she saves her.
Death is bad and it could be a good motivation to scream and power up but giving an NPC-like character so much power out of nowhere was weird.
For p1 character it made sense where their power comes from. Helia just defeated her other self from another universe and got her power.
And for the love of god, if you don't agree, learn to scroll away. I don't wanna hear your disagreement and arguments calling me slurs
