I hope Digital Poppy sees this! My sister and I have been playing this game (for me this is my... fifth playthrough, maybe?) and I'm very curious about the insight system. SPOILERS AHEAD!
My instinct tells me that delving deeper into the occult raises insight and makes trixie more unreliable. But what about interactions with the other characters? I had a theory that having Trixie advocate her own needs-- standing up for herself, refusing to agree to stuff she doesn't feel right about, etc., would lower insight and make her more stable and grounded. But idk-- maybe it's the opposite, and having Trixie challenge people and cause conflict makes her less reliable. Or possibly it doesn't effect the insight system at all and her social interactions (like choosing to hug Gregg or not) are purely for fun and flavor?
Also, does the insight system effect just the main story, or does it effect the three character paths as well?
Last question-- does reading certain books effect insight?
I really like the story and the art! I'm a huge horror buff-- tough to scare, basically-- but Gregg's storyline has spooked me the hell out every time I read it. Heidi is my favorite-- as a lesbian who can't do math, I relate.
