It is built into the game, takes place after Chapter 3 ends. Basically a sequence with the Guy creeping checking the girls' socials for ideas of calendar costumes. I didn't even know it was a "special" until a message popped up "This concludes the Halloween Special, save your game!" and the next Chapter started with the next scene.
I think it's very funny that, when it was released, I got some bad reactions like, "GOD, the whole fucking story just stops for this stupid Halloween update?!"
Now, nobody even notices. :'D
I think, or hope at least, we'll get a chance to save her. Whether or not she becomes much of a character, I don't know but I don't think Neon would show her to us and have Risa ask for our help if we couldn't save her. That just doesn't seem to be the flavor of this game.
We definitely haven't seen the last of Cherry. >_>
I really feel like some characters are being forgotten about.
Any examples? In the last two updates we've seen (depending on your choices..): Nicki, Ashe, Viola, Alex, Brittani, Carolina, Risa, Mason, Gabby, Pepper, Madison, and
Cassie. Granted, the Ashe content was minuscule, but Chapter 11 will have a decent amount of content dedicated to her. Don't get me wrong, I totally get wanting to see more of every character. But, I try to change up the A plot/B plot, and keep all the girls in circulation.
Chapter 11 will have an early focus on
Cassie, before shifting focus to Gabby and Ashe, as they've been gone a bit. Ashe's content will also serve to set up Brittani's audition update. We'll also get a little montage to advance some developments with Viola, Alex, Mason, the bookstore, etc.
All these dark routes and I feel bad about all of them
Hey how about this girl? Oh she's so nice she goes out and
saves earthworms every time it rains
This waitress can't be very important, right? Oh she's fighting to rescue her sex slave twin sister
This new lobby girl is really annoying! Oh actually she's trying to avenge her past by shutting down a drug dealer/sex slaver/abusive pornographer/kidnapper
It's hard!
;D
