Two Protagonists & Switching

Story
Partner System
Call or text your partner to join you, swap seats so one drives while the other shoots, and keep an eye on their texts: the idle lead lives their own life.

Chapter-Based Story
The story is told in chapters, with choices big and small whose consequences can land later, designed with replays in mind.
