Congratulations! I’ve never played the original, so I got to ask: is it fine to play this a standalone?

Congratulations @Rustem_Khafizov – I am happy to see this being pushed live.

I am also glad you gave the community a hella lot of romance options; now if someone expresses a wish to have a ton more romance, I can point them here.

Perhaps the success of this title will make the decision to bring both Balance of Superpower titles to Steam easier for HG. We can only hope.
