Shelved for now, this is a review of the public 2nd build of Khemia

If Interea delivered more of Adastran politics and the Parental questioning that i wanted, Khemia delivers on all fronts and more. I can see why Howly wants to rewrite Khemia and change things up after Arches, though, because wow there's a lot of similarities that I can already see. It's definitely interesting seeing it from a more broken and fragile-though-sound mound too, especially one that was fully invested and led by propoganda and toxicity of Wolven society and such, so I'd still like to see all that happen in the end, but I still really am for a different direction as well. Khemia's delivering more of Neferu and Khemian politics, and seeing the clash and healing aspects already working their way through Scipio's story is really, really good. Also Scipio is a way better character than Marco, I think. Levels of Chase from Echo.

Also Khemia's score by Anthemics is fucking incredible and I cannot stop listening to it.

And like Interea, no rating until it's completed! Hopefully it's more sooner rather than later, although this and Interea are confirmed to have future builds planned for this year. Woohoo!
