๐ I need y'all's quick take on the ballโ
🕑 Added 2025-03-09 19:47:34 +0000 UTC[Closed poll] 2. Experience control WON!
I need to get the pulse on something, and polls always help me figure things out in the grand scheme of things better than anything.
At the ball, there will be a branching of different things to do.
Imagine something similar to the Ch1 crime scene branching + some of the vibe of the carriage in Ch2 with Watson.
I am trying to determine if you all like time management or would rather have complete control of the experience.
1. Time management:
Classic example: You only have time to do Five things, but Eight things are available. Maybe you lose out on a romantic moment, a deduction scene moment, or something based on your choices.
You can't do everything in one playthrough.
Time management (a pro for some, a con for others).
Less playtime per playthrough, but a more condensed, streamlined play.
2. Experience control:
Time is not a factor, and what to do and when is your choice entirely.
You can choose to end the choices early, ex, "I've done all I wish to tonight, and the hour is getting late."
It might feel a little more overwhelming with so many choices if you're a completionist on replays.
But it allows for complete control of your experience, a more story-based setting.
3. Compromise option:
You can do almost everything, but certain branches have mutually exclusive branches that lock the other out. So there is still some replay value, but it's a much smaller amount.
You can still choose to end the choices early, ex, "I've done all I wish to tonight, and the hour is getting late."
Which would you prefer?

Time management stresses me out especially in a game that doesn't have save function (with finished and released choice script game) so I'd prefer more chill options 2 or 3
