The Null Hypothesis v0.9a

Overview
This is an adventure/dating sim game set in the X-Men universe and written in Ren’Py. We are drawing heavy inspiration from the comics.
You are a mutant whose abilities emerge in dramatic fashion when you are attacked by an ancient and malevolent entity. You are taken in by Charles Xavier, who runs a school for mutants with the goal of protecting them and helping them learn to control their powers.
Upon arriving at the school, you meet a host of characters fulfilling different roles at the school, including Storm, Rogue, X-23, and Jean Grey.
You quickly learn that all of these characters are… single. Some are interested in you from the start; others think you are beneath them. Through various interactions, scenes, and events, you can change how the characters view and respond to you.
As you explore the school and your growing powers, global events will transpire that test the strength and nature of your budding relationships.

Review notice: Please do not mention other games.

1.1 will introduce all three characters.
1.0a-1.0z will likely be dedicated to fixing every last remaining detail of chapter 1 so that 1.1 onward can be entirely dedicated to just plugging in the plot and art.
As I've said since the beginning of the game's development, we are aiming to make Chapter 1 as complete a gaming experience as possible and to make sure it is as bug free as we can manage.
