So tempting. My biggest problem is…how the romance between a male RO and a m!MC take part in(…take part in? Or other words?), in general, how the romance between anyone is handled, I don’t want the only difference between romance someone or not at all is, for example, when a fighting scene, if the MC is single, the narrative is “the MC fight alone, the MC got injured, the MC won”, but if the MC is in a relationship, it says, “the MC fight alone, the MC got injured, the MC won, the RO congrats the MC”, no, I don’t want that, I want something like, “the MC fight alone, the MC notice the RO want to help them, but the MC decided to fight alone, whether they want to impress the RO or simple feel confident enough that they can win alone, then the MC got injured, the RO came to help, they won, they had a celebration”, I don’t want to play a game when the romance is at a minimum level, I won’t play a game without romance at all. I did try the demo but I can’t afford to find out there is not much romance after I happily bought the game. I almost got traumatized when I realized if I wanted to play the whole game, I had to follow one certain route which caused me abandoned it, and the ROs are all not my cup of tea and the family are happily use the MC as their tool to restore their glory…I thought the MC would have a chance to take control of their life on their own…turned out I’m so wrong.
Well I haven’t finished the game yet so I can’t fully answer to your question, I can say that as far as I seen right now there are numerous times when you have to chose if you want to care more deeply about money about “law” or about people. And in many istances you have to focus on some members of your crew risking to neglect others or your ship; if that member is your RO I can assume it would be what you’re looking for.
I haven’t reached the full romance yet so I can’t tell you if it’s well developed or just a background note; I’m sorry. 
I can tell you one thing which I don’t know if it’s a real spoiler but I will blur anyway:
There is the option when starting a romance not only to make it platonic(no sex) but even to slow things down and wait before getting physical; this is something that I deeply apreciate because I always get VERY uncomfortable when things get heavily physical straight after admitting to be interested in each other…(thanks again @FayI for giving this option, I can’t stress out enough how happy I am with it!)
I have visual problems and in a phone so sorry I can’t understand your post as it is giving me nausea and desire of puke. What family tool? There is no family anywhere? People have personalities and friensship is worthwhile. Romances are different from each other and distinct in base of your choices.
Your background origin doesn’t determine absolutely anything except some dialogue about what you have been but no one is using you at home and you aren’t forced to have a family. And you could let clear your crew you are the one in charge
Not in this game which is why I blurred it…I assume it can’t be discussed here under a total different game, and that’s my opinion after they thought the MC disgrace the family because they didn’t marry anyone.
@anon57188313: it’s tough to be able to make some kind of blanket reassurance because “having enough romance” is so subjective! It was enough for me, but I don’t know where I fit on the scale. There’s drama, and the possibility of rejection or tragedy that is very clearly signposted so you can avoid stuff and there are multiple ways of getting happy endings. I like them; I wouldn’t want to promise you it will be fine and then for you to feel disappointed, so it really is up to you 
@Simon_Tremelay: I’m glad you like the options for intimacy! I’m happy that with Eira, you can still end up in a committed romance with her even if she initially turns you down because of being more interested in sex than romance. Like Mara says, if you’re able to leave a review on your platform of choice that would be awesome! The blurb is so challenging to write when you know the game inside out - you don’t know what you’re going to end up accidentally deemphasizing or implying, or what might get left out.
@anon57188313 Man what’s with the small format text lol 
Do you want to obliterate our sight?
@FayI yup, already left a positive review on Steam!
My money is on the way to your pocket.
@Simon_Tremelay that’s when I don’t feel confident…
First steam review- awesome!!!
@anon57188313, I hope you enjoy it, and good luck
You have understand that format is killing and harmful for people like me with sight problems causing nausea vertigo and double vision. If a paragraph is large with that is a pain. It is easiest say I am not confident
Edit I will love read Your impressions on the game!!
Just wanted to say that I really, really enjoyed this game. Didn’t expect to be able to romance the Silver Fox on my first, nice-guy playthrough… but I did. Loved that my MC’s asexuality was brought up and respected by other characters. Looking forward to romancing someone else and aligning myself with different factions in future playthroughs.
Too bad that Roshan wasn’t romanceable. (I mean, to be fair, there are enough other people I’m interested in romancing, but that would’ve been the cherry on top. 
)
y’know…
can I bring something to the writer attention? call it…a nit pick mostly .
But when Oscar reveal his feeling to the mc .
the choice to tell him you are with someone else (no matter who it is), it say something like ‘‘I can’t, I’m hang-hooked-dating…x,y,z’’ right ? That bother me . It almost sound like ‘‘well if I wasn’t , I totally would say yes’’ . I would have liked a ‘‘I’m spoken for’’ which say ‘‘I’m not interested in you…your gender…your face…your personality…’’ .
what do you think ?
@E_RedMark: I think that’s fair challenge, though I might agree it’s a little nit-picky! 
I guess I figured that if you weren’t interested at all, you would say that specific option, but I can see that there’s a small sliver between the two options given that’s missing. If, for instance, Oscar had taken the comment of ‘I can’t because of my other interest’ and tried to run with it with further interest later I would agree the more clear option is 100% needed - but Oscar’s a good boy who knows how to back off gracefully! I’ll keep the nuance in mind for any future games, though.
@feurio: I’m really glad you enjoyed it! And might I say I love your pic
Do I smell favoritism…huh ? Oscar is the teacher pet! Tha Scandale!
well Joking aside…
what I mean is : You did give us like 3 others option where you say NO but with reason .
I cant cose I got cootie .
I cant cose your nose is too big .
I cant cose its innapropriate .
So I was kinda puzzled why the ‘I’m dating someone’ sounded like ‘Yeah I wish I could’…
That’s fair!
Alas, Oscar is only my favourite in the way that all of the characters are legit my favourite. Shout-outs to Smarmy T-PES Guerra and Unreasonably Chipper Dude In Distress Jesse!
@FayI
To add to the viewpoints, your story has saved me (at least temporarily) from my 12 year old’s obsession with her favorite TV series and obsession with the Warrior Cat books (she owns over 200 books, but getting her to read something other than Warrior Cats this summer has been like pulling teeth).
My 11-week-old grandson is in the clingy koala stage and adores to be read to. Since he’s more into tone of voice and how animated I get with stories, after a few play throughs, I tend to take my favorite CoGs and read them to him when he’s hanging out with Grammy. Normally, my daughter either rolls her eyes (it’s not like he really picked that option, Mom) or tells me I’m paying for his future therapy (that was reading parts of Guns of Infinity to him), but something about Asteroid Run sparked her interest.
We have a 43 mile each way commute every day and she has been playing it in the car with intent interest, although she is a bit perturbed with me because I won’t get her the play-by-play, but that’s the fun of IF… figure it out or try again.
That’s incredible! I remember being such a picky reader at that age (Star Wars Extended Universe or nothing, for a time) so I’m really flattered that your daughter is enjoying it
I’m having trouble trying to romancing Victor is there something I’m doing wrong please tell me this is my 20th try and I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong
Victor’s tricky.
Well, actually, he’s just a cherry on the sundae at the end of the game (I honestly didn’t think he was an RO up until that point). If you’ve kept your relationship high through positive interactions, become Governor, and ask him to be your assistant, you get a bonus scene where he expresses interest. I haven’t played a Join DRT ending yet, but someone else can let you know how that ending scene with him goes.
I had my Star Wars phase … fun times. 
Here to say that I love this game! The characters, especially, I love my crew. I like that they each have their own goals and differing ideals too but will still come together to be there for each other. Eira and Roshan’s heckling, Shiori and Oscar’s interactions (especially after his diagnosis) are just the best.
I’ve done two playthroughs so far. In my second one, it ended with my captain and everyone still together in their original roles after successfully delivering the nanites and saving Vesta Station. That’s great and all, but I also wished there’s an option to help Eira with her ambition and still be on good terms when she leaves. Right now, unless you have two ships, you can only ask her to be the navigator again, or take over Oscar’s position, even if you want to keep him as XO. I kinda wanted to just give her a recommendation and see her off to greener pastures, you know? It’s probably not feasible though.
