we enter Bill’s never-before-seen romantic life. Fans of the game may notice some big deviations from the source material, as characters are given reimagined lives.
“As much as I loved playing it, I thought maybe we would do something wildly different,” Mazin told The Washington Post in a recent interview. He recalled feeling impressed by the game’s revelation of Bill having a partner, explaining how it’s unexpected, especially because of Bill’s presentation as a “paranoid nutter” and a “cranky, very straight-acting, annoying guy.” He’s not someone you’d necessarily expect to have a romantic backstory, Mazin said.
