I had 4 polished routes before I checked this newest update and here are some of my opinions:
- Ian x Holly priority, try to corrupt her where possible, flirt with other girls or choose sexy options when possible, Lena is bad and tries tocorrupt Holly too
;I was glad that Holly starts to become sexier, but wish she didn't refuse at least flirting with other guys (she denied Mark if i remember) and would be nice to see her texting on beach instead of reading a book. Sex scenes with her are nice, but she doesn't always wanna fuck and it seems there is some struggle in establishing relationship between Ian x Holly and I feel that blocks some possible extra sex? I can't remember if I chose casual relationship or full commitment tho, I maybe have chosen casual in hopes Holly would be more adventurous, but Ian always chose her wherever possible it's not free for all manslut.
- Ian x Cindy cheats priority, but Ian pretty much screws everything that moves while trying to save Cindy x Wade relationship
;This was just dry, basic skeleton of the update, but Emma made it somewhat fun at least. I got my hopes up whenever a text came or Ian checked social media, but it was just Lena or Ivy or Louise (now Louise part was incredibly hot, I want something more serious with her in the future).
- Ian x Allison priority, there was threesome with Jeremy and I encouraged to repeat it, Ian x Jeremy are good friends
;Same as with Cindy, just dry apart from the basics you pretty much get on every route except if you outright dodged any interaction with Emma/Holly. A text from Allison or Jeremy would be awesome, they are all alone in the city and they know it would be fine to have some fun
- Ian x Lena true couple, Ian is loyal, doesn't even flirt, smart and confronts friends when needed instead of being just a yesman or avoiding conflict, Lena cheats whenever possible and they together with Ian are exploring dirty talk in bed about Lena's past or fantasies about other men and the like
;Now this was a little bit more interesting, but still I feel like some small details would elevate this update not just in this route. It seems to me there might be divide in this route - Lena keeps Ian clueless (to best of her ability, Ian already has some info getting to him) or Lena confesses and Ian is okay with it (at least if I as player have any say in it hehe). I hope Ian's friend circle does not outcast him if he decides to have open relationship with Lena or tolerate her cheating despite people knowing. Heart (cock) wants what it wants
Overall update has a strong point of variations and it looks really beautiful, like one devlog said the sex scenes look really really good in this update. Also outfits are gorgeous BUT one huge flaw is not enough backside shown!! The mod I was using for path guiding is not updated yet so I can't comment on wether this is a great buildup for something in future, but I have a feeling a lot of choices this update will carry weight. Then again, I felt like that about Cindy cheating buildup and it ended up with separation (which doesn't look promising as to them getting back despite Ian's best efforts besides the shagging Cindy part lol). For me the biggest missing part was lack of texts from various people or even social media browsing. There are plenty of things I am looking forward to and hope will be explored. No other game has this complex yet fluent web weaved together with loveable characters who have actual personalities and depth and look gorgeous and unique as a bonus.
Best of luck to development and thanks to all the people who support the project and provide information in this thread! <3
