Similarly to our previous post on Steam, this time we decided to delve into one of the game mechanics that might seem straightforward at first glance but possesses deeper layers. Since the following section will explore one of the first choices players encounter during their playthrough, a spoiler alert is in order!
One of the earliest decisions that directly impacts the narrative is our initial encounter with bandits Jeremy, Jeff, and Johnny, who guard the entrance to ancient ruins.
As it turned out, over 60% of players decided to stand up against them instead of striking a deal. This decision, as you can imagine for obvious reasons, prevented their appearance in the future steps of your journey.
If, however, you choose to parley with them, you’ll cross paths again in the City of Bones. There, you must once more decide whether to fulfill your agreement. It turns out that 81% of players chose to pay them, thus causing Jeremy, Jeff, and Johnny to remain in the city and embrace their ‘heroic’ side, as they aid in its defense later on.
Their story doesn't end there. You can encounter them again in Act 3 of the game. Just before the upcoming battle with one of the bosses, depending on whether you paid them, they can either join forces with you in the fight or support the enemy side.

While certain choices may initially appear inconsequential, they hold the potential to significantly impact the game world, shaping the moral compass of your characters and influencing the game’s ending. The final outcomes depend on whether the player leans towards altruism or pragmatism in their decisions.
So, as you can see, one playthrough of the game is not enough to explore all the possibilities. Hope we've managed to encourage you to further explore the game, and remember, we are committed to making this game as perfect as it can be.
