A few brief thoughts:
1) Lots of interesting pivot points in this latest update, which I would rate as short but dense. In fact, in just a few lines of script for the second part of the game (2693 lines to be precise) the player is already required to make choices relevant to the continuation of the plot (proportionally many more than in other updates that are more voluminous in terms of script):
2) The choice of the musical theme of the main menu is beautiful and goes well with the new image chosen to open the game menu.
3) As for Sophia's outfit choice to go meet Aiden, I think it's simply in line with the initial purpose of Aiden's proposed tasks before the so-called Dylan-twist was removed: to get Sophia back to wearing sexy and provocative clothes as she did when she hadn't yet entered (according to her son) a mid-life crisis. Now that we have arrived at the dawn of the fifth task (out of 12 planned) some effect on Sophia's behaviour will have to be seen! Sophia is back to feeling sexy and no longer feels embarrassed to show her figure, least of all to the person responsible for her change (although she hates him for it with all her might).
4) The fact that the next update to be released is titled 0.161 already indicates to me that it is a completion of the previous update and that, even if it is not initially planned as indicated in the
post of November 23, 2021 (the last updates were named with an increase of 5 thousandths: 0.150, 0.155, 0.160), it will still be of relevant importance for the continuation of the story. This "special edition" in fact will concern exclusively the meeting with Aiden following the choices made during the last update and, although it should not be particularly substantial from the number of renders point of view, I think it will be very heavy as far as the further developments of the game plot are concerned. Will we get to see the effect of Don Morello's henchmen on Aiden and his gang yet? How will Sophia's possible involvement in the events between Andre, Aiden and his girlfriend affect this intervention? Will it also affect the assignment of the next task? What will the fifth task be? All these questions will probably be answered in the next update.
I conclude by wishing a Happy Easter to all Catholics and Protestants in this thread.
