Yeah, I would say the story takes a huge dip around the Europe arc and then all throughout the Ep 1 of CK2. You can certainly see there was some serious behind the scenes drama, with multiple writers coming and going. I wasn't even that invested in Chloe, but even I can say her personality did a 180 on a whim. Also, what have you done to my fun, dorky Riley and who is that sad, wet noodle impersonating her? Why is she suddenly obsessed with polyamorous relationships? Also, I question the logic of dumping the "polyamorous" route on the one character that consistently keeps shutting you down if she even smells a whiff of you being interested in other girls, because she's low-key the insecure one? I guess it's because that other college-themed game did it?I love how engaged folks get when first playing through the first part of the game.
Soon they get back from the Europe trip, realize their saves don't work, that all the girls have lost their marbles and randomly swapped personalities, and the game is not half as fun as it used to be.
But that first playthrough, before the game turns to shit, is pretty fun.
But the game does get better midway through Episode 2, with the girls' personalities getting mostly rerailed as of Ep. 3, I am willing to give the dev the benefit of a doubt. I am mostly curious where Episode 6 (and my hard-earned relationship with Riley) is going to go.
