:Given that [[Legacy (video game)]] was ruled invalid for specifically that kind of reasoning, I can't see how this game could be considered valid.

::This would best be discussed in an inclusion debate, no? But for my money, the difference with ''Legacy'' is that it's the Seventh Doctor and Ace who are featured in the cutscenes, no matter what the player chooses. Thus, in the vocabulary of video game storytelling, it's clear that it's "meant" to be Seven and Ace, and the possibility of using other Doctors or companions is a "bonus" not affecting the storytelling. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:44, October 20, 2019 (UTC) | ::This would best be discussed in an inclusion debate, no?

:::Thing is, there isn't really any discussion to be had. It's long been established that video games where different characters can be used are not valid, for the same reasoning stage plays and [[Decide Your Destiny]] books are not valid: there isn't a single narrative that is shared by all. And we don't separate cut scenes from gameplay when considering the story. So by that '''existing''' policy, this story is invalid.
