To comment on solely chapter 24 alone since I've been out of the loop and behind. I'll start by saying... the father is a shitty human being. His presence alone sort of changed the entire feeling of the game to me. It went from the happy good time feeling to... depressing and moody. He basically said "Fuck you son, I'm traveling now get your shit and move out". I am glad that the MC finally somewhat told him off. From the moment the Dad showed up it felt as though he's the clean up crew and he's basically saying "Alright, you've had your fun time to wrap it up, parties over". The whole mood changed because if you're the player you feel a change is about to happen, rather it's a good or bad change that's yet to be determined. The MC is now depressed and thinking about his future with Alice and the girls.
And whether the Devs meant it or not it DOES feel like a series finale of your favorite show. I've been a fan of this since day one and this game has been a fan favorite on this site for a couple of years now, so logically at some point we all have to realize and come to terms the fact that games end. But I also get the "Complaints" that this update felt rushed and as if like it's racing towards the end. Personally anytime I see a time skip this late in a game it normally signifies it wrapping up, but V.A Laurie just stated that their team has committed to 6 more months of development so.. I guess we wait... And scratch our balls or vagina or what have you. I do think we at least should give the Devs the benefit of the doubt.
