I also put this in early in the forum but IDK if it was missed or not but I do have a question.Hey man, I'm sorry but... you're absolutely misremembering something. NONE of that stuff is in the game, or ever was. The Johnny/Shadow/Kitty content has been the same since GZone produced it on his own for the content revampt back in like May of 2018. There were no intricate details to their storyline with Sam or possession, or anything. What happens in episode 3 is essentially what's always been there. Like these are some interesting plot ideas, but our idea was to have something with Paulina being possessed at the waterpark, like that one episode that TheFirstFoxx described.
But none of that was in this game at any point or cut from the game, sorry. You're either describing a fan fiction or a comic you saw, or another game I'm not familiar with, or a dream you had.
"So I remember talking about this previously and I worked myself back up to chapter 7 in the redux. and I find the forced choice for the power up to be slightly annoying. I remember it being talked about that they might make the power-up choice for the ember fight more open or allow for you to do all the events with any girls you had available. after playing through the new redux up to this point I need to ask if this idea was scrapped. I myself don't particularly like sam in that way and would like to keep her just friends but having to choose between my other choices is a really hard decision especially since they seem to impact interactions later on."
