It does seem 'different' - I wondered if it was the new UI, but have decided it is the focus on skipping time.
What I mean is that each day was structured in so far as Luke went to work each day, and something, however small, seemed to happen.
In this update you get a couple of scenes with Michelle, and the dinner with Ella - and that is spread over a full week as you start on Saturday, and the dinner is the following Friday.
The whole focus of the game was LP as a job, but as the company that employs all the characters. I felt as though I ground my way through 7/8 days when the dinner with Ella could have been Sunday evening and we then went to work on the Monday, and the promised interaction with Desiree and 'J' could continue.
I know there has been a suggestion of no naughty stuff during work in the office, but there could still be the 'foreplay' and teasing - Carrie broke the rules after hours, so a precedence has been set; and as Michelle and Luke will soon be sharing an office, how long will it be before she needs attending to across a desk.
