one character, Jessica, appears in both. Question is, if the devs will expand on that in future and bring more of her in this game, too.. I sure do hope so
Yea, I'm curious to see what role Jessica will play in this game. Looks small so far. She seemed to make a reference to Christine when she was talking to Jane about Erika, but she stopped herself before elaborating further. Not to mention that John and Miranda have an event in the first game, if you are on the NTR route, and go on a date with Jessica on the last day.
On that note, I do believe this game takes place after the 1st game. The MC mentions he got a great deal on his house because it belonged to a former CEO who got caught up in weapon trafficking. That's obviously a reference to Mike Silver from the 1st game. But what does that mean? Is it saying that the "canon" route of the 1st game is the one where Christine ends up with up with the MC (or even leaves him at the end)? Or does this game take place much later and Silver eventually got caught, even if Christine ended up with Silver or Robert? It would be interesting to see if there are more references made throughout the game. If it does make more references, it would cool if we could somehow choose what route the previous game ended on. For example, if Jessica talks about Christine, she could elaborate on what happened to their relationship after the events of the 1st game (which would be based on a route of our choosing).
The game is still early in development, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out. Not just in reference to the 1st game, but I'm digging the new characters and want to see what's in store for them.
