A decent update, but nothing to get excited about. A surprisingly large amount of new continuity bugs.
I did a completely new playthrough, and unfortunately I think I can't recommend this game to new players anymore. It feels like a loose collection of ideas accumulated over time - but having followed the game since 0.1, I know it's actually a collection of ideas abandoned over time.
The game takes an unreasonable amount grind to reach gated content, and the writing and parts of the UI are still at prototype levels that aren't tolerable for hours on end. I'm happy to see some opportunities resolve over the last two updates, but things like the alcohol are still a disaster, and Eric's path looks like it's going to go nowhere. I think the game will wrap up satisfactorily, but hopefully the authors will try something less ambitious for their next project.
