VN - Ren'Py - My New Memories: The Beginning [Ch.2] [Killer7]

I just registered but had to leave a Review already anyway. I have been playing Killer7's game for a while and was waiting for Chapter 2 to drop. The Reveal was pretty obvious right away and its cool that Katharina is part of the family, but it was very predictable. Overall a very nice update though. Renders and Animations are top notch as always. Cant wait for Chapter 3 and My New Family 2 to release! Keep it up!

Some event happens in the game, and after that, you are having conversation about that event with EVERYONE IN THE GAME. It gets veeery boring with all that same words with everyone. The writing is declining every step because of that.

Now imagine this:

Your mother is very upset for some reason, and she won't tell anyone, telling everyone she'll tell them later.

We discuss this topic with everyone in the game, and the conversation generally goes like this:

You: My mother seems upset. Could this be the reason? I think it's because of this or that.
Love Interest 1: She seemed bad to me too, but she's going to tell you what's wrong later, so don't worry about it. Don't worry too much, don't worry about it.

After discussing this issue in great detail with one person, we are having another same conversation with different person:

You: My mother is very upset. This makes me very upset too. What do you think could be the reason? What will she say to us in a few days?

Love Interest 2: Your mother might be upset, but she knows what she is doing; don't worry too much, she'll tell you.

We discuss this conversation in detail with five more people, with some wording changed. AND IT'S VERY BORING. It's boring when everyone has the same problem. It's boring when everyone knows each other so well. This needs a solution.

The renders need upgrade too. Looks so much like 2015 times.

The game presents limited choices, which is unexpected given the previous installment offered a greater variety. The primary decision revolves around the option to pursue a romantic relationship. I find it peculiar that one of the choices appears to employ a tactic that seems to guilt-trip the player for declining to engage with one of the female characters. Additionally, I wish there were female characters in the game who did not have romantic ties to the main character (MC). I hope for a scenario where one of the female characters regards the MC solely as a friend; however, I am inclined to believe that this is unlikely to occur.

With the absence of Anna and Lena in this installment, Sabrina has emerged as my favorite character, as she brings a refreshing perspective. Nonetheless, a minor annoyance is her persistent reminders to the MC about pursuing a relationship with one of the love interests.

Lastly, one must inquire whether the MC exclusively socialized with female peers during his school years or if he also had male friends. Did these male friends attend a different college? I would appreciate any opportunity to see them featured in this game.

Ultimately, I can only recommend this game to individuals who have experienced the preceding game and are anticipating the next update of that title.

I always played killer's games, but I never actually "liked" them. The stories always felt overwhelming filled with too many characters from the start.

However this game is an exception, I like that he introduces new characters more slowly and there isn't too many characters (yet). The renders had a great upgrade too compared to previous games which is very good too.

5 starts for initial release, but there is a lot to work still

I would love to see animations improved.
Lea sex scene really should've had more scenes, looks good but only one animation really? And she had closed eyes and I had a thought that she has Chinese eyes during the scene which is funny
