No one was clear-cut good or evil, they were all multifaceted people with motivations and personalities, driven by idealized emotions like hope and compassion but also human one’s like spite and pride. While villains were better employers than heroes and were more honest about their intentions, they were still villains and that came through beautifully. I was more scared of Supercollision, the hero/antagonist, than Leviathan, the villain/protag’s boss, but Leviathan was still scary.
