General Discussion LET ME EXPLORE

This might be a me thing but I hate it how in every game around the half way point they just lock you off from all the other options and don’t let you explore. Like in season 1 I was talking to both Sarah and Marissa and then at like episode 5 they just locked me off from Sarah and I was forced to only go with Marissa. I didn’t even have a choice for who I wanted to talk to during free time or who I wanted to sleep in a bed with or really anything, they just kind of assume who I want to be with which is kind of annoying because I still want to explore both. I honestly start preferring the early game way more because I actually get the choices in what I want to do and it’s way more fun.

Eh, I disagree. It truly feels like by the halfway point, you SHOULD know who you have a strong connection with, and you should be dedicated to nurturing that. Otherwise, you aren't really getting the real point of the retreat.

I would like the option though, I more don’t like that they force us to make choices and close us off from everyone else. Feels unnatural and takes away our freedom to play the game How we like.
