So i've played through this update now and i am shocked.
yes the sex scenes are nice and well done, the combat simplistic but passable, but the story takes the cake for me.
i am really surprised at the quality of the lore, its delivery and the characters delivering it.
there is honestly not one character i had a problem, granted kiaras death seems counterintuitive to the theme, but i really like that markus actually survived. that alone elevated it in my opinion.
i also like how you guys implemented the parasites into the gameplay/story/combat.
from a gameplay perspective the player has an urgencie to go out and do shit, since he is on a schedule he has to work actively to negate.
from a story perspective they appear to act like a symbiote from that marvel movie and appear fairly likeable, the fact that markus also gets a different one and you interact practically with both gives it a better perspective.
though i would like their personality to differ more from each other. e.g the black one is the more perverted one, while the white one is the more murderous one and both essentialy being stuck with the exact wrong (or right for good ending purposes?) host.
from a combat perspective overall good ideas, but still requires work, for one there should be a noticeable power gap between the guys before the return and after, especially if they enter their monster form.
hammers in the point, that their now buffed (muscle, size and prolly speed is really unfair stuff in combat) up veterans with the ability to become even more ludicrously powerful monsters.
Sorry for the long text fellas
