Kitsune content is marked by a tone of fatalistic melancholy that a lot of people complain about but it seems like might be right up your alley. Look out for fox-people with lots of tails who want to nibble at your soul.
The kitsune content does have some of those, but its only because its much more fleshed out due to be its (Mostly) own thing away from the main story.
I've definitely stumbled upon the orb and while I'm fairly neutral on fatalism, I love melancholy (I really love sad stories, though I tend to prefer they end on the happy side) and I am thoroughly enjoying TheObserver's work, it's certainly close enough to what I was looking for and beggars can't be choosers.
I get why people probably wouldn't enjoy that sort of thing in this type of game but for me even if I'm driving a "Commander Shepard" and not my own character, a wide array of emotions, especially sadness, rather than just some stoic badass casanova. When that happens I tend to fall into this trap with smut games, "Why am I even reading all of this, just spam next till the next smut scene pops up." At which point I just quit playing the game cause if I'm not reading everything what's even the point?
Uh I guess I rambled there, anyway I'll certainly continue diving into the Kitsune content next chance I get and thanks for confirming that has tones of what I'm looking for.
