It's an (in-depth, story focused) adult game, more skewed toward a straight/straight-ish male audience. That's def a product of the type of game she's making and her audience. Just to grab an easy example, Tlaero has said in this thread that she was surprised (or maybe that's too strong of a word), that another user was interested in just talking to and learning about the other characters - and not just the LI they were interested in. I definitely think the friendship path is a bit rarer but again it depends on the type of game. These multiple types of endings are a lot more prevalent in adult otome games (more geared towards women). And if you only have friendship points then romantic love doesn't factor in at all and you're just friends with said person. But if you have a middle ground of friendship points and love points, you get a tamer 'good' ending - where MC and chosen LI might not be super in love but they're happy for now and willing to see how their relationship progresses. For example, if you don't get enough love points then you don't get the true-love-explosion-happily-ever-after ending. There are games out there with multiple endings. I definitely think it depends on what type of VN you're playing. Click to expand.I know you've kinda expanded past this point but I wanted to go back to it because I found it interesting.
