[2022] Story?

By and large, those stories don’t exist yet. You can see text-based hints of things to come, for instance in the treasure quest notes. But really, I would consider all of those existing hints placeholders. The newer art assets that suggest certain story decisions (like the characters in some portraits) will probably fit in one way or another, since ideally you don’t want to waste the time you’ve already invested making that art.

I predict your intuition about the story’s direction is probably pretty accurate, but I don’t know. We’re expecting the story, whatever it is, to come in at the end of development.
