After this update, I don't think I like DPC anymore. I've been largely indifferent to them with regards to the story direction, writing, etc, and willing to give them the benefit of doubt that they won't take this down too dark a road and pile on the drama, but I think those days may be gone.To be honest after this update I really don't like Jill anymore. The fact that she just passively accepts what Tybalt is saying and doesn't tell him off pissed me off especially since she just lets him blackmail her. It just seemed to be put in for the sake of drama and to gut punch the player.
After this update Sage ,Bella and Quinn are my top three so far if you don't include side girls like Jade or Camilla but at least there was quite a bit of Jade content in this update which I liked. I was kind of hoping we were done with the Maya/Josy BS but it seems we are going to be forced into dealing with that shit again which I wasn't a fan of.
At least if Cathy is resigning we might get some scenes with her since she won't have the taboo of being a teacher any more.
It has often felt like DPC is very much trying to stride out on their own here by making a game that is massively different to everything else out there, not just in terms of its story and gameplay, but by wanting to fuck people up as much as people with difficult choices, serious drama, and gut-wrenching consequences. It's almost as if they're trying to punish people for playing adult games and I can almost imagine them sitting at their desk ghost-reading comments here and checking their Discord while gleefully rubbing their hands together like Mr Burns and cackling, "hee, hee, hee, your agony is delicious."
But just to say, as someone who plays the M&J route, it actually had some nice moments in this episode and actually seems like it could be the best one in this whole game, provided DPC doesn't toss anymore hand grenades into it or kill one of them off, and honestly, after this episode, I feel I can no longer rule that out as a possibility.
