I agree, I felt the same feeling as when Ian and Cindy's first kiss/sex happened in chapter 7. It just wasn't as exciting, but beautiful
That actually is one of the main problems I have with Cindy. From the optics, yes, she is great, but her character leaves a lot to be desired. Even Bernd´s worldfamous and also world´s largest woodchip wallpaper collection is vastly more interesting than Cindy ever will be.It is part of the game, not a genuine crash. It's Ian seeing "the matrix" under his reality during the drug trip. Click through the buttons at the bottom and eventually you'll get out.
