Hey buddy, i don't know where you came from but we people on here tend to use our box of tissues not for drying our tears.I understand people's criticisms of this update, but I personally found it to be the best one since the game started. Sure, it's short and only covers half a day, but I'll be damned if it didn't move things forward in a tangible manner. That little douche Dylan is now on the offensive, and will most likely select a sexy piece of lingerie (maybe slightly see-through) for his mother to wear when they go shopping. After all, she did promise to buy "anything he wanted".
But the absolute best part of the update for me has to be Ellie's pool scene with her friends. It went far beyond what I expected, and proved to be genuinely tender and heartwarming. Forget the sex, forget the nudity, the care and attention to Ellie and Julia's budding relationship is incredibly deep and emotionally moving. Everything about that scene was simply perfect - their expressions, their hesitation, their backstory. It completely blew me away.
I'm done criticizing this game for a couple of reasons: 1) it's clear that the developer is not going to adjust based on people's feedback, and 2) if this is what he's aiming for (an emotionally resonant story with deep characters and relationships), then I'm sold. Not enough to become a Patreon, of course, but sold enough to let it be what it has to be. Had the pool scene been handled differently, I wouldn't have changed my mind. So, major props to the dev.
Go back.
