Eh, I thought the Interlude was fine. It does have its drawbacks, but overall I felt it did accomplish its goal to introduce Zoey as a likeable character and establish a believable conflict in the MC when she returns.
I found the main positive to be the story-telling, which portrayed quite a lovely relationship between the MC and Zoey. In my opinion, Zoey was a fun character, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between her and the MC, with her getting him out of his shell a little bit and trying new things. It was also nice to see her gradual realization of how much their relationship actually meant, naturally supported by the parallels in Emma and Bret's relationship. I do agree that the tattoo choices were a bit bold, and that her more subdued personality after moving to San Diego are weaknesses, but in general, Zoey has now been established as a sympathetic character that is not as easy to immediately disregard.
The main issue with the Interlude, is the fact that it was unnecessary. Even though I certainly did not mind it and thought it was relatively fun, the time would have been much better invested in the main story, completely cutting Zoey out of the game. This would not have had any negative impact, and saved plenty of development efforts. Not excluding elements that only play a small role in the game, is one of DrPinkCake's problems as a developer. There are a lot of examples of this; DnG, mini-games, massive free roam events and now the Interlude. These factors only act as a bonus, but are virtually meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Considering that the game will not be finished until 2026 given the current development cycle, it would be advisable to reduce the scope a bit.
When it comes to how forced the MC's internal conflict will be upon Zoey's return, I can say this: DrPinkCake has made it explicitly clear that the MC is not a blank slate - he is his own person, not matter how much the player wants to self-insert. Clearly, Zoey leaving did affect him a lot; he was in love with her and was forced to move on, and it is therefore unrealistic to expect her return to not have an impact on him. This being said, the game starts out with the MC having a crush on Josy, and we have spent eight episodes forming new bonds and banging anything that moves, leading us to believe he has managed to move on. I therefore parrot other people's worries about how this will force conflict upon us, that will negatively affect other relationships, and I welcome all choices that allow us to immediately shut down the prospect of getting back with Zoey. Even if there is forced conflict, one would have to assume that it will be better than the atrocity of the Maya/Josy drama, which is probably the worst part of Being a DIK.
A discussion of the MC/Maya/Josy situation is also how I want to end this post. Not only was that a completely nonsensical point of drama (seriously, all it required for the MC's hissyfit to be ridiculous was for you to be uninterested in either of the girls, or both of them. And honestly, what did he want them to say? "I have a girlfriend who lives near you - her name is Josy and I just want to tell you that in case she is the one you have a crush on"?), but it has also had a tragic impact for everyone who likes one of them but not the other. You have now been locked out of content with them for four episodes, even though Josy is the girl the MC supposedly has a crush on and has spent a large portion of the game thinking about. It is clearly the most reasonable choice to not get involved in their relationship if you are only interested in one of them, but you are being severely punished for this. It would be truly calamitous if this doesn't change soon.

That's exactly why you know Neil is your father, the diary been in hands of others and contains MC's mother's versions of stories you hear from your father. So if you would say Neil lied then he should have manipulated a diary that he did not even have....

True but no Mona ...The end credits for Interlude, showing the various characters, was very sweet, and in a way, very touching in that some of us have spent a lot of time interacting with them.
Well done.
Man you are doing a great job with this game congratulations, not all Dev can do such a good job alone. Currently I can't support you on patreon because I'm unemployed but if I was working at least I would buy the steam version.

Unfortunately, you must have the first and second seasons to be able to transfer the files, but here is a suggestion. It is possible to download the compressed version of the first and second season. It may work, but I am not sure about that. I did not try it, but it is just a suggestion

Save your breath. He doesn't care about yours or any other member's opinion.
We are filthy pirates in his eyes and even if you support him through Steam, he'll ban you in a heart beat in his discord unless you are 20$ patron or some shit

I think the purpose of this episode is to get to know more about the new character who will join the events, which is Zoey
Of course, all we know about her is that she was MC's close friend and then decided to travel without knowing the reasons
This episode made us get to know her personality and her family, and most importantly, it made us as players understand the story of travel and understand her personality because it became an essential element in the story.
The topic is like introducing a new character, as if you are watching a series, you usually find a prelude to this character, and then you find a flashback to the life of this strange character that suddenly appeared so that you know her past well.
Of course, this is a very important episode, no less important than the previous and upcoming episodes, and the developer is very good at narrating events and manipulating feelings.
I like this developer that he plays with feelings a lot. He makes you take a decision and choose a character and says OK, I will be with this character, and then he surprises you with another character that makes you relate to her and makes you think from the first
As I said, an important episode to start a new character that will have a role in the events and it's like all previous episodes at the beginning of each episode brings you a flashback of the characters and their lives

Honestly I dont think there will be a forced thing with her. In the Interlude, Depending on your choices I guess, It clearly shows Zoey a portrayal of what could happen with trying to rekindle something you broke off/shutdown. I dont think she is going to demand a relationship with MC. I think she truly understands now that being with him was more than "Just friends fucking" But also sees how toxic/bad it could get thanks to Bret and Emma.
I think we are going to be given options to pursue Zoey if thats your cup of tea or just tell her straight up you moved on and stay friends. Up until this point there is an option for the MC to just be single not interested in anyone which leaves a nice space for Zoey to slide into.
What I do like is the potential for what Zoey showing up and their history being brought up affects the current LIs. How do they react to the MCs first love, the girl that helped break him outta his shell, helped shape him into who he is, the girl that broke his heart.
Is it though? Yes it does explain why she acted like that and it is mostly because of her Grandma but I still think she is very selfish and not likeable at all. Especially when you try to put her against any women you now spend 8 Episodes against. Why would you actually chose Zoey here as a player?
She does not even bring some heavy themes with her that could be used for the overall mainplot or regarding the drug storyline etc. She will just be another character IMO.
When we get to the mainplot I will not even pay much attention to her. She feels like a filler. Like in a JDRAMA everytime an ex comes back who left you for various reasons and then the MC rejects her and you move on.
The interlude is certainly the weakest part of the series so far. Especially coming after a HUGE concert scene and overall "Bella" part (for me)
Also why even create another comflict. For example: With Bella you now have Jill as a huge conflict situation so it does not even need Zoey here. I do not know about the other parts though since Everytime I play this game I only fall for Bella......
