Second Story is the sequel to First Departure, taking place like 19 or 20 years after.

I guess this is why they never released Second Evolution R back when they did First Departure R. They had this in the works.
When I moved to Lemmy and learned about how federated sites like this work I realized how utterly impossible for something like what's happening to Reddit to happen. The biggest obstacle to Reddit users migrating right now is the fact that there's no equivalently sized community to move to.
That would never be the case here. In addition to defederating like you mentioned, users not in the instance in question could easily set up an alternative community, as easy as it would be to open a new sub. Users in the instance in question could easily migrate to another instance. No need to find an alternative platform, no need to make a new account (in most cases), and no need to worry about a new community being active and well established.
While I see downsides to the fediverse, I see some major upsides, especially in the wake of Reddit's implosion.
No, you can play them in any order. If you pick Claude as your MC in the second game the opening cinematic kinda spoils what happens in the first game but other than that there's nothing major really overlapping in the two games story-wise.
