I agree with
ename 144 opinion that the decision to choose a girl at the end of season 2 looks somewhat technical and hasty. But I have a few explanations.
1) DPC for some reason it was necessary to start full-fledged branches of heroines at the beginning of the 3rd season. The reason is quite clear. Season 1 as a whole is devoted to the hero's awareness of his sexuality, sex without obligations and recognition of a particular girl.
Season 2 was supposed to concretize the girl you like so that the choice was conscious.
Season 3 is a full-fledged relationship with their problems (as you know, relationships are a complicated thing). Temptations in the form of potential infidelity (Zoey was introduced not by chance), contradictions, difficulties. Even a possible breakup.
Season 4 should logically close the branch of each of the girls (for example, pregnancy). The topic of pregnancy was raised briefly throughout the second season and should mean for the hero what it means to be responsible.
For example, take Josie and Maya. The whole first season MC recognized the girl separately. The second season is an attempt to start a full-fledged relationship with both. Girls fall in love with him and get used to sharing him.The third season should be dedicated to a full-fledged relationship. I do not know if the long-awaited solo paths will appear in this season. If you deepen the relationship with another, will the second be offended? An interesting question.
For me, the season 2 finale looks like a bachelor party. The last party. After her, it's not going to work just like that to fuck two girls in the toilet. And it will have consequences. I haven't looked at the code yet, I don't know if the jealousy variable has appeared again or if it was accidentally introduced.
2) Perhaps the decision was caused by technical features. It is likely that the transfer of the status quo to the third season will cause critical errors due to the large number of variables. But we know that season 3 will start in a new file and to simplify the work it was necessary to allocate a route for each of the girls.
