So… episode surprised me in a few good ways but mostly bad/meh ways.

First off, biggest surprise… I don’t totally hate Zoey. Interlude did nothing for me but shes something the story kinda needed. No drama. I looked forward to her scenes throughout the party. The fact she doesn’t stay the night (as far as I can tell) and how slow it’s going is nice. She seems to respect the MC. If you’re mad at her, she takes it well. With humility. I’d you’re not she’s still a genuine friend.

She also gets on well with people. amusing, cuter than I remember. I’m kinda seeing it as a bad thing she wasn’t an option from day one. Maybe because she’s new and not bogged down with drama it lets her just be a fun addition.

Other route held its own. It was in its element as the episode was one big free roam. Maybe this is how he plans to integrate all the routes and people. Just open world it and let you just chat with people here and there… easier to do. Just dump all the characters in a room and let you pick who you wanna see. Lazy but Effective. But Rio was cute as fuck all episode.The others kinda got equal billing… not because they got more because the LI‘s got diluted. The LI’s were on the Others turf and just side attractions at the free roam.

Quinn was in the episode. That’s about all I can say. Nothing happened really.

Now the Bad. Sage is getting flanderized in my opinion… or maybe defaulting to Ep1 “DIK” Sage. I was fond of sweet Sage. It feels like DPC got her script the wrong way around. Fuck buddy sage was cuddles under blankets and heart to hearts. Then she pulls “it means nothing” in the middle and now it’s a relationship she’s our fuck slut, avoiding conversations and pulling back only to get dicked down left and right. Her little speech at the end to the DIKs put me off the route a little.

Episode felt short. Bella’s arc was a waste of time. Blew past big issues in ropey flashbacks and felt tacked on (let’s me honest she clearly was). It’s insane she integrated better for me as a background character than a route focused LI. Her flashbacks to dancing with her husband might go somewhere but meh. She was never gonna integrate with a college rager. I don’t hold it against DPC he just made the mistake of resolving Jill finding out this episode.

Student finance arc needs to die in a ditch, that aside the relationship with Maya/Josy was strong. They felt the most like a partner this episode.

Jill’s was good… vanilla. Is what it is. I like it, she felt she changed the party with her presence unlike any other LI. I know it isn’t for everyone. “Virgin sex 2 - Electric Boogaloo” was mehhh bordering on awkward. I know she can’t jump straight to pornstar but he should have done more romance with that animation time than rehashing her insecurities and animating more awkward sex.

Speaking of animations. Not on board. This episode was pure my least favourite parts of the game. We don’t need pure free roam. Yes it’s more of a “game” but I didn’t buy a point and click adventure game. I bought a visual novel. It takes forever to make. Is finished easily and I suspect party planning mini game means we’re getting this more often. Rename it Being a Party-Planner.


not my least favourite episode ever. Don’t like the direction it’s taking even if I do understand why. He’s discovered what every sandbox VN writer has and that’s letting you just free roam into story elements makes writing easier.

Meh… it was just Meh.

Edit: WTF was that Christmas stuff at the start? Did I have a fucking stroke? Did that have anything to do with the game? Was that Bella’s house? Was that a flashback like the game usually has?

Interlude was already a let down for me. Skim readint your review lets me hesitate to play that release. TBH, I'm right now in the mood to drop that update and wait for the next one

Seems to be how people feel about it.

If you like the main girls you hate this episode.
If you like the "other" girls you love this episode.

so from what I understand.. DPC mess up Sage's route?

She was super hearts in the last ep, and now she's pretending nothing happened? That's it?

Gotta say I agree. The episode was way too short, had a ton of pointless animations that probably took forever, they weren't bad - just pointless when you could render a few images instead and portray the same message.

The Episode 8 cliffhanger felt like a total letdown and coupled with the fact that episode 9 is a glorified single evening Halloween event that took over a year to make it's just disappointing.

Let's see...as I read what they wrote above about Sage...I suppose she decided not to be so serious about her with the protagonist yet...?
tell me if that is what you mean?


On the other hand, is the "OTHERS" route the one with the most content in this update?
since the logical thing would be rejections of the protagonist who has already chosen his routes? .. or is what I ask wrong?

I suck at writing fluent English..so I'm going the easy route..of using google translate..
be patient if my writing is strange..

You need to chill lol, 3 requests for saves on one page is really not good for your heart, and totally unnecessary since if you check page one of this thread you will find a link to saves for pretty much every path....
Anyway hope you can calm down enough to enjoy the update! Have fun ;)

There`s no other way to say it, Pink`s just a fucking mastermind.

Without the interlude, this would be ALOT less satisfying, i already hated the bastard and my expectations were lowered with a shotgun. Only few hours of gameplay behind and damn, this would have been good without the break(interlude)


But now:eek:

Man, I hate getting attached to characters that will probably give me a headache, but how can you not fall in love with Quinn? aaaa I need to go to therapy

Dude she slapped Rio! I have not given up entirely on Quinn, her sweet moments are amazing but the way she manipulates and influences Rio and Cammy makes me wanna cut her bad and leave her bleeding in a ditch somewhere. I haven't played the new update yet as I'm waiting for mods but I hope she cuts way back on the heinous shit she has done/been doing. If she hurts Riona again I'm done with her.
