While I think you are going a bit too far with that description, I
do agree that the character doesn't exactly fit Charlotte's phone persona MC had been interacting with previously. Instead of the consummate professional entrusted with the uncle's secrets, we get a punk kid who actually looks younger than MC. It just feels inconsistent and doesn't work for me.
Unfortunately that's the theme for the entire update - underwhelming, especially considering the two month gap between releases. Branching out to a different location worked like a charm last time (the Island interlude), but here it just falls short of the quality I've come to expect from CMA. If history is any indicator,
TheGary will likely improve things in future updates and the whole thing will play better overall once his vision is realized, but as things stand... this update is a flop - the new character (both graphics and personality), the forced dialogue, the split focus between the Office & Yacht locations...
This is an awesome project and up until now Gary has consistently produced great content every month. This update is... CMA trying hard to be less than it is. I can only hope that future updates will put the game back on track.
