Just played the latest version and I loved how the story progressed, I'm very curious as to how far we will be going with Lily, given our MC finds her grotesque - but maybe we will capable of, at least, befriending her? Who knows!
I also loved the rise in supernatural elements, especially because I've always been a fan of glowing eyes (I know, oddly specific, isn't it? But in 2010 I even bought glow-in-the-dark contacts, a pair in yellow and another in cyan), and we had a plenthora of those in this version. Secretly, quietly, subliminally, I am disappointed the neighbours are not a breed of vampires, that would have been a 2 for 1 for me, but hey - how can I complain?
Finally, I have an honest question both for Veqvil and for the rest of the community/fans around this game: am I the only one who truly believes the game has turned its back on the original "Love vs. Submission" concept? And doesn't it feel like the specializations you got to choose at the start are obsolete? This is not a complaint, just a curiosiy of mine because I can't tell if I'm missing some detail, or if that will problably be scratched off in the future. I wouldn't mind, I love the story arc, the animations and the characters more than the mechanics themselves.
Long story short, keep it up my man Veq!
