This is a weird update indeed. I don't know if you need to play a lot more to acess some of the old content (kirely, hearth, onlyfaps) but now for sure is a mess to play without the ability to pause branches (maybe you can pause them, but I just don't know how lol because I once deleted all the branches and for some reason I could pause the last one). Also, I know this was made this way so most branches make sense, but for example, when I wanted to do some of the stepsis branches (my favorite character so far alongside Julia), just because you choose carl to help her then you can't acess her content with the husband, I almost miss when you could complete both branches lol, also used to happen with the wife sister, you could complete both the husband and steph branches, good times, and I don't know if it needed to be fixed, honestly with the app's help it wouldn't be weird if both branches could happen, I think most people complaining about some of the branches not making sense, was because of the wife willing to cheat in some of them and then being shy on the rest.
The new content is cool but for sure this update just makes the game a mess to play, I dropped it kinda fast, first time this has happened to me, this used to be easily top 10 games in here for me and maybe it still is but I don't know, I'm just one of those guys that don't want to have +20 different saves while reading the same text 20 times just so I can see all the content.
