I just finished playing the game, and I was honestly quite surprised—this update added a lot of CGs, and the trailer showed scenes with various styles, which got me pretty excited. But it's a bit disappointing that most of it was from Aiden's POV this time. Why do I feel that way? In the previous episode, there was one sex scene between them with a long dialogue throughout, which gave us, the audience, a clear sense that Luna was gradually becoming corrupted—slowly but surely. That made the scene even more intense, because we knew every word Vargas said had a strong impact and was reshaping Luna’s mindset. That’s why I feel this update missed a lot of things that could’ve been shown to the audience—especially during Luna’s encounter with Vargas behind the curtain in the infirmary. There must’ve been so much going on.
But then again, thinking about it, it’s probably impossible to create that many detailed scenes within just 40 days. Plus, it would’ve required extremely long dialogues. I’m sure the devs at Azienda also had to consider balancing the POVs, and not to forget, the story portions need to stay balanced too—Luna’s journey to find the antidote, the syndicate bosses, and everything else—so the plot doesn’t fall apart and can continue smoothly.
There’s a lot to consider for this episode. Even though it didn’t meet my expectations, I hope in future updates we’ll get to see more of Luna’s POV as she slowly gets corrupted and willingly falls into Vargas’s grasp—while gradually starting to resent Aiden for being incompetent.
