Low to mid 7 update for me. Nice to see a sprinkle of NTS content, I quite like the slowish burn of the NTS between the main couple. Good focus on Vi and Eriks relationship, which is where the game really shines imo.
The main scene and the dialogue in it is hot and engaging, really feels like a good step for the dynamics.
I think ultimately these two DLC's would've been better served as part of the end of chapter 5/ start of 6 even at the sacrifice of animations.
I don't think that the introduction of so many animations justifies the long wait between updates. They don't add that much for me, I think that the writing is the true star of the game. The introduction of a VA is a nice addition.
I hope that this is the last of the dlc style updates and future chapters can just add a few weeks of dev time and just bake the scenes into the main chapters.
I can't deny that I'm disappointed that it means we wont see a proper chapter 6 until like, what Late August? Early September?
Still a really good game and I'm keen for Chapter 6, there's some set up in the dlc so I'm looking forward to it.
