But Zoey IS connected to DrPinkCake's 'Mainplot'. I believe that DPC intended to bring her in at this point of the narrative from the beginning. None of us here (unless DPC is here under an alias) knows how this game will play out in the end. So, we don't even know what the 'Mainplot' is at this point... any more than we knew what would happen in Acting Lessons at the halfway point of that game.The question is why do you even need this? Is it just another girl for the reason that someone could not have found one after 8 episodes of playing this game? She feels forced and unneeded at all. She is onyl there to cause some conflicts which at this point is not even needed. She does not bring anything new to the table. She is not connected to any overall Mainplot.
Is she? Yes she was his first love but otherwise? Nothing she did was actually influencing her in such a way. his college life plays a huge part in his development. The women he met there were more influencial in his life than Zoey ever was. He did not start plaiyng the guitar because of her. He did not start drawing. Nothing she did in this interlude was infleuncing him. They just moved on after she left.What I don't understand the most about these Interlude complaints, is the ones that say that "Zoey brings nothing to the story"... like she isn't a vital part of MC's life.
Whats the second scene, im confused?
Yeah..i hope not.Weakest part, so far. This character got a whole (and unnecessary) episode for herself. Doubt she'd have gotten it, if DCP didn't plan to shove her down our throats harder than Maya and Josy.
I for one am in the complete opposite field, Zoey intrigued me before, there wasn't much info about her to go on, only the MC's impression of how he felt for her AFTER she was gone. I always hoped she would get a more relevant place, it was his 1st love after all. The 1st broken heart. That's relevant, always.What I don't understand the most about these Interlude complaints, is the ones that say that "Zoey brings nothing to the story"... like she isn't a vital part of MC's life.
Also, "I don't care about Zoey", if you went into the Interlude hating it beforehand you already knew that you weren't going to care about her story. Imagine having the same thought process about every new character that gets introduced, like "Who's this Nicole chick, I don't care about her". If you have been in this forum long enough you can notice that Nicole is a really loved character in here even though she wasn't introduced at the beginning, she got scenes and time to build up her character... just like Zoey (or every new character) is going to get apart from this Interlude.
So, of course you don't care about Zoey, she's still a new character. Give DPC some time before you proclaim that "This was my favorite game until now" or that "I'm uninstalling, fuck this game" you bunch of whiny babies.
Lol. Seems like a real issueGet Ems back with her boyfriend and watch them fuck.
Fun fact. NTR purists will say the game now contains NTR. Because a female character our character never met, had consenual sex with her ex and the image was on our screen.
But Nothing you saw in there was evidence for this. Esepcially after a very strong Episode 8 this feels weak on so many Levels imo. There was not even a big conflict for the future. Like her picture being released on the internet will be a huge plot. We already had that with Cathy which was way more drama and impactful than Zoey and her story.But Zoey IS connected to DrPinkCake's 'Mainplot'.

Don't take the phone but talk to get that second scene.Whats the second scene, im confused?
My belief is not based on anything in the game, but on what DrPinkCake has stated in his Patreon posts, that he had the whole game mapped out before he started.But Nothing you saw in there was evidence for this.

Her picture on Rooster, led our MC to assume she had moved on. That she had a boyfriend now, That he had lost her. That was the final nail on his broken heart.But Nothing you saw in there was evidence for this. Esepcially after a very strong Episode 8 this feels weak on so many Levels imo.

Yeah, he's gonna break our hearts. Again. FFFFFFFFFFFFuck.My belief is not based on anything in the game, but on what DrPinkCake has stated in his Patreon posts, that he had the whole game mapped out before he started.
EDIT: By the way, that's exactly how he created Acting Lessons. The whole thing was planned out in advance.
The interlude is mostly about some background info on Zoey so she doesn't start off at 0-2 when she begins to perform her part in the story. We get to see her side of the story compared to what MC told Bella. On top i think we get to choose her affinity depending on the flavor choices you made for her (so Dik or Chick Zoey) and if she is vindictive (posted Ems pics) neutral if took phone but did not "get back at her" or understanding (talked with Ems instead of taking her phone)But Nothing you saw in there was evidence for this.

Zoey is still very selfish how she acted. And this does not change. MC has moved on. He did not even care much in the end of the interlude since he had much bigger problems. In many parts he actually found the love of his life. Why should he still care? Also he probably has cheated multiple times now. How is this even relevant that Zoey had a boyfriend or not?Her picture on Rooster, led our MC to assume she had moved on. That she had a boyfriend now, That he had lost her. That was the final nail on his broken heart.
Now we know the story behind the Rooster post, now we know that Zoey isn't the bad guy. Now we will have to wait for the MC to learn that and see what damage that does. MC and Josey wouldn't happen if the post by Ems hadn't happened... Yeah, the freaking photo is relevant as fuck...
