'Hahah! Whoops! Looks like your repeated refusal to FUCK ME has broken this scene’s continuity! Now, nothing is going to make sense! Restart the fucking game!'
It felt like a cop-out. It felt like the dev was pressed for time and chose to merge the two branches into one. This update could easily be split into two, one to mostly close CH3 hanging plot points & one more focused on the actual reset. Aside from this grievance, I found this update particularly enjoyable, especially as a more denpa/lore-oriented reader. (Of course, not to say I dislike the character-oriented parts. Far from it, actually.)
