I'm liking the rewrite so far. It's been awhile since I played, so I might be misremembering, or imagining some of the changes I'm noticing.
I just got to the part where Catherine catches MC with Naomi. I think her anger with the situation is far-better explained and justified than in the original. In the original she was super-authoritarian about the situation, too. The MC's supposed to be an adult (even though, to be honest, he doesn't look it,) but her reaction to the situation was more like he's a minor still in high school--and I get that he's still living under her roof, but it was really controlling just the same. But, so far, there isn't a hint of that from her this time around.
I also think that Sarah doesn't nearly come off as much of a spoiled jerk as she once did. She's not exactly sunshine and rainbows, but it's not that bad, and I can kinda get that she's just frustrated with what she feels like is favoritism toward MC from her mom..
I also could have sworn that there was a dream sequence where MC fucks Heather, and it annoyed me that this was only a dream sequence, but now it appears that's been done away with, and what we get is the actual event itself. This is one of those things I could be misremembering, though. I also think I remember Heather coming off as more manipulative rather than actually interested in MC, and this time around she actually comes off as interested, which I much prefer.
The new animated scenes are a real treat, especially with bodies like these (and I've always been a fan of the ladies' boobs in this VN)
