Love how Ken Levine is still finding ways to make player choices actually matter in a meaningful way. This feels like the kind of innovation that’ll have us all talking for months after it drops.
Honestly, the Villainy system sounds like it’s gonna make every playthrough feel totally personal—like you’re actually shaping the drama instead of just watching it. Can’t wait to see how messy things get when I inevitably neglect everyone.
