I have finished it! Alright! So being the official link, let me act ... officially.
All that Comes Before is a collection of shorts following the more intricate life happenings of the player-controlled character, Roe, as well as that of their companions. The stories told here are minuscule but no less unimportant and allow you, the reader, to customize your character in more depth.
Some, not all, of the choices you make here, can be pulled over into the main story and change conversations and branches.
*NOTE FOR PATREON: Before this goes public if you have feedback or find a bug please tell me. I scoured it and will scour it again but I'm one person. If you are trans or nonbinary then definitely give me feedback in Chapter 6 to make sure that is at the very least respectful and true in a general sense of your identity. I did my research and asked some of those I know who are in the community but that only takes you so far in the grand scheme. If there is any area you think "damn I would've loved to see this" tell me. I don't mind revising.
FAQ:
How many volumes will there be in all? There will be four or five volumes (depending on if I do a Season 4 or not) each of them will tell stories that aren't told in the actual story of Superstition.
Is it necessary to play? Nope! This is extra reading material really. If you cared or was curious for more stories outside of the world itself. And, as an extra bonus, you can move variables to better customize your Roe.
I want it but import/export always messes up with me. Should I get it? If you are okay with just reading, then yes. But if your aim is to get the story with the intention of moving over those variables, then no. Again. The functionality of these stories are done with computers, and at the very least, tablets in mind. Basically a device that you can easily save and move over data. They work on phones but phones are odd when it comes to some of the widgets. If you know a way then by all means, but if you know that between S1 and S2 you always have to remake your Roe in the CC, then don't buy it. You're not missing anything important.
