I really liked episode 1, my only problem with episode 1 being that I wanted separate routes based off of your choices. A night with Poppi, a night with Sammy, and if you played your cards right, both. Instead it ended in a few bad endings, but I generally forgave them because they ended in sex.
I was excited to see more Nile, since she was easily my favorite when I first started playing In Heat in general. Sadly The devs have been making her more and more subby as time went on, so I was holding my hopes that she would be a switch, but I was pretty disappointed that they doubled down on the whole sub thing, opting to make her more bratty. I couldn't stomach the entire sex scene because of how they treated her. There's nothing wrong with it outside of personal preference, I'm sure plenty of other people like it, it's just not for me. If anything it made me appreciate Misty a lot more. A character I have gone on record for saying I used to dislike. We also got a new character debuting, and she is just... Woah...
I like her and am waiting to see more of her.
The thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was the endings this time around. Don't get me wrong, the first chapter had a couple of dark endings, but nothing that would outright leave me unsettled besides one in particular, but you survived.
This chapter in like both endings you die, simple as that, you straight up die and not in any zany fun ways or in any sexual way, you just flat out get shot in one ending.
