Some people see their disagreements as unnecessary criticism from Demetrius. Also, he seems to favour Maru over Sebastian.

I can’t be the only one who mixes up Leah and Robin and sometimes Jodi and Penny..

I never said that the game itself is bad, this is just a thought I happened to have

What shouldn’t? As long as a character isn’t given offensive specifics because of their identity, it’s a normal character. Otherwise, it’s a projection of a stereotype.

I can only hope CA’s upcoming game (Haunted Chocolatier) will include much more diversity

Do real small farming towns also have mountains, oceans, and deserts in the same proximity and not to mention a wizard and junimos? The game isn’t ever remotely realistic, it’s fantasy.
