(B+) 77% | Good
Notes: The story here is side-quest tier—if major stuff offstage—just plot for rifts, dynamic shifts, and fridging-focused rage.

This is getting intense. I love the introduction of the character Razel. He really throws this story for a loop.

They might be stretching this story a little thin. Time to “wrap it up B”

Its bummer when a story is good but they’re trying to be corporate and make it a thing.

3.3✨
