Just finished playing the update. I fucking love this game. Can't wait for the next update (yeah, I know, I'll need patience, but I know it'll be worth the wait).
Oh, yeah. It's pretty obvious that Zoe is infatuated with our boy. And I'm not gonna lie; even if her character lacks content when compared to others, and more specifically to the goddess Elsa, she seems so sweet. I'm gonna hate it with all my heart when Eddie breaks her heart into pieces. Assuming there are gonna be at least few different paths for us to play, I hope one of them include this girl as a LI, so at least that way I can pursue her in one of them.
Vicky definitely seems to fit the silly blonde stereotype, but I still like her, and not only for the obvious reason of her good looks. I find cuteness in her clumsiness and her innocence.
I don't dislike Alice either. Again, her well-known model is good looking, true. But I also think that her persona shows good human qualities. By the way, for the most part I'm playing Edward to make him behave with as much empathy as possible. I am confident that these decisions I am making while playing the game will bring him good news for the most part.
It's a pity the lack of content for Emma in this update. I hope she plays a bigger role next.
I've also liked Charles (I think that's the name of Ed's direct supervisor) a lot. He's very weird but in a good way.
And Edward's relation and struggles with his assigned team in this episode have been of interest to me as well. Let's see how their relation evolve.
Elsa is probably the one character in the whole game that feels more fictitious. Don't get me wrong. I love her and want her for Eddie as the no. 1 option. But she barely feels human in many occasions. The most challenging part for me is to accept her traits and general behavior on a 22-year-old girl. People with that kind of determination and focus are usually much older than that. Anyway, Eddie is going to need to work really hard to pierce her defenses.

It's true what you say about the lack of a bigger range of expressions on the mouths of the characters, generally speaking. I can't say if this is something new to this episode or has been there since the beginning, since I haven't replayed the game as a whole. But honestly, I can live with that. And I love the game as it is.
