i really enjoyed this episode, I love when it's more story and plot focused. Maybe I'm a bit biased, but for me the best branches to play was Sage and the throuple, especially Sage. It's so nice seeing the relationship side of her. One thing that I feel that lacked was the interaction between the MC and Jill when on the Bella branch and kissing her in the episode 9. I don't think there was a single thing mentioning it nor Jill trying to fight for him, even if subtle, which was really weird. Probably the next episode will adress this.
I enjoy SFW animations, but I think DPC has got to the point that he's overdoing it, like the I think more than like 8 seconds Zoey animation in the beginning, totally uncalled for, and I think it would look even better if it were bunch of renders intead of a full blown animation. This type of stuff takes a lot of effort, won't deny, and so much development time. Another thing is that, although the episode was a good length, especially if you play all the branches, each individual branch could have more scenes. If DPC didn't spend so much time remaking and making things that are kind of unecessary, like whole redo of the brawler and some types of animations, as I mentioned, development time could be a lot shorter, or the time he will be saving by not doing this every episode, he could work to make each branch more dense in content. Either way, excited for the next episode, but there are more playthroughs for me still.
Another thing that popped in my head is how much branching there is, there are so many important decision plot wise through these 10 episodes, and I feel like it kind gets out of control.
