Kind of a strange update. I was hoping it would finally give us a sense of where the various approaches (affection vs corruption, encouraging Tommy to be honest, etc) we can take are headed, but if anything I'm even more confused now. The situation with Meredith and Tommy didn't seem consistent with the last time we saw them together if you encouraged Tommy to be honest with her. But at the same time the game is STILL offering us the chance not to push the full-tilt seduction approach with Meredith, so it's not like the game just overrode our choices. I really don't get what the goal of these choices is in the long term.
Moving on, I think it was a mistake to have scenes of the MC playing Influence games with Julia, Ruby and Brie back to back to back: even with the differences between the girls, the gameplay was starting to feel a little repetitive by the end. (Probably didn't help that all three girls kept their bra on during their sex scene for no clear reason.) As for the girls themselves, Julia didn't explore much new ground, and Meredith is mostly setup for the next update. Maxime is as uninteresting as always. Ruby did explore new ground, but it felt very rushed. Brie is a really cool character, but it feels like like her scene skipped over why the MC met her: I thought the whole point was to get her support for the MC in the upcoming demon war, but instead they seemed to focus on helping to take down the MC's mom - even though they all acknowledged that was far beyond their ability. Then they pivot again to the MC trying to fulfill Brie's favor. I think I have a good grasp on what Brie wants from the MC, but I'm lost on what exactly he's looking for from her (beyond lewd content, of course).
This wasn't a bad update or anything close, but it was surprisingly hard to wrap my head around it.
