    So, lemme try to get this right…

    This is genderswapped Chaos, is it not?

    I mean, chaos was androgynous, but this feels like, also androgynous… But in the other direction.

    So… Genderswapped?

        Ah, the sequel existing evaded my mind 100%.

        I was just poking fun though either way, of course Chaos absolutely doesn’t need a consistent appearance canonically. It’s Chaos!

          good news, the vast majority of the game is out in early access and it’s really great so far!

          But yeah I feel the same. Some time has passed in-universe since the first game so all the old cast have changed in their own ways. Chaos has evolved too but is still the same in spirit and I like how their change in presentation reflects that!

            How early access are we talking about, exactly? Right now I’m trying to push high heat on the first one, but either way I was intending to wait until the second one had a full release, or was said to be basically complete before playing.

            What do they mean exactly when they say early access right now?

              Sorry, just now seeing this! Essentially there’s two different routes (up or down) you can take, with two different sets of regions, bosses, and story beats for each. The “down” path is entirely complete, and there’s two regions of the “up” path complete. So the entirety of the story isn’t there yet, but what’s there is very polished and there’s at least one major story arc complete. There are a couple characters that don’t have art yet and so they’re placeholders visually, but they’re fully voiced and the placeholders aren’t too out of place. They’ve published a more detailed roadmap that seems pretty reasonable for them to deliver. Overall it seems like 70% done and I don’t think what’s there is even going to change too much by the 1.0 release.

              As someone who’s skeptical of a lot of EA models, this is in my mind the right way to do it. I’ve played for 30 hours so far and haven’t finished the “down” path yet and I feel there’s still going to be a decent bit of content left after I do. Imo it was well worth $30 in its current state!
