Having played through the Ep. 7 several times and even gone through the code itself, I'm left a bit disappointed. The sexual content's great and you'll need several playthroughs to see it all, but I was expecting the plot to finally thicken and progress.
We get some confirmation of long suspected facts, but also even more characters, locations and scenery being introduced.
I get it, it's a big world with lots of different people; knowing everyone half-way through a story would be weird looking at it from a not-a-fictional-work perspective. Designing new scenery is probably right up Tess' alley and up to a point it shows how decadent the Karlssons are. However, I find little attachment to those locations given how little time we spent with most scenery. Also, satisfying every combination of player actions with at least some new scene is gonna cost a lot of time - this is just the cost you pay the more fanned out you allow your players to make their own decisions.
I'd just hoped we would finally be on track to see the fruits of our decisions come to a crescendo of consequences, yet we're still in what's pretty much the entirety of episode 6 - some new setups, more concepts being talked about and still a lot of vagueness going forward.
I can see that there are going to be consequences from looking through the code. It's just such a shame we're still not over the peak and can't feel those consequences yet.
In short, Ep. 7 felt like it dragged a bit and just repeated a lot of what Ep. 6 did already. If all this setup is brought to a satisfying conclusion then all the wait will feel all the more sweeter. Sadly, it also means we're going to have to wait that much longer to experience all of this game in one complete playthrough.
