I can't believe the cliffhanger ended on Maya and MC finding out about the locked room in Bella's house.
Now, as for how I feel about this update overall... honestly I feel similar about it to Episode 9; it felt like a mostly more expanded episode 9 with most of the enjoyment being from the variables building up to the Christmas Party. I only played through Sage's path and Single's path so far, but just like Episode 9 or even 10, you get way more content by not having a girlfriend. The Tiffani and Tara scenes were well worth the wait. I think Becky had one too, but fuck Becky. So yeah, 8/10 update, minus 2 points because HOW DARE THEY HURT MY ASIAN GOTH PRINCESS!
