This update was horrific. I don't mean writing quality either. This was a great update, writing wise. The luck was what was horrifying in this update.
The drama was next level. For the first time, I'll admit Hana went too far. This isn't an Alice situation or even Sydney. She's neither of them and i definitely won't throw my relationship away with Carol for her like i would with those 2. Is it my fault for indulging? You're damn right and i even did it again at the end. After that reveal, there's no telling the outcome so it's best to keep the options open for safe havens. If "that" didn't happen i would've dropped her.
Now on to the one with the worse luck, Emmie. I'll be honest, that didn't bother me at all. It's also kind of their own fault after all those warnings. While i understand the MCs pov, i don't feel outrage or heartbroken at this. I would sing a different, more bitter, tune if it was Sydney. Hell, i was bitter as hell when i thought Alice was gone throughout the first couple of updates.
To this day, i still think the infected threat should be more present. While humans are more dynamic, the infected looming over us is more satisfying for me. We've had nothing but plot armor with every human encounter since the school and it's to the point were it's getting a bit predictable. Doesn't mean i want all out chaos. It's just that there should be some suspense. Should there have been an option to help Emmie? Definitely, options are good.
There's more to be said about above but I'll leave it there. Summerlin deserved everything that happened there. Sutter has to die. My pregnant red head is on the way and everything is going left at an alarming speed. These next updates might be some of the most darkest moments in the game and I'm here for it all. I hope the dev doesn't hold back too much but doesn't go too extreme.
To end this. I get that for others this was too uncalled for and heavy. I would definitely be right there if it was any of my waifus. Mainly a certain blond milf, who might be having a 3rd child or my red head, who's going to be a milf soon. But it wasn't and it's hard for me to feel anything for a character i wasn't close to. I do hope the dev includes options for future scenarios. I won't be a hypocrite. I'll definitely be in agreement with everyone if it was either of those 2 so i fully support more options over no options.
Now, I'm going to go back and play some more. I think i might revert from my Naomi thing. This update hit a bit too close. So I'll go back and romance her again. There might be more drama but this feels way too cruel after the Hana thing and that close call. I won't start all the way over though. Probably right before the last rejection as this game is very long.
