I played the big update when it came out and it was just labeled 3.2, when did this Act 1 thing start?

That is not really what I mean. All these things you just named could just as easily be part of the "neutral" thing where the aim is to just be on normal terms with her so she allows the MC to see Lily and that's it. After all, it fits prefectly with the MC saying "I hope I'm not getting too close to her" and "I think she still hates me, I'll figure it out later".
Sure, they do share some very nice moments together, she even kisses him.. they hold hands and hug each other few times as well. Allison cooks for him, allows him to stay the night and then later at the conference you get to share bed with her. This is all great too see but it falls off when you realize that the MC doesn't acknowledge any progress being made and his mentality remains the same through the whole first act. He is just fine with things being as they are between them.
They did well with Allison and her character progress towards the MC but that is pretty much it. When it comes to the MC, everything he does is "for Lily" and his project, he doesn't go out of his way to do more for Allison and that is the problem here. Yes, I very well understand that this is a slow burn type of thing but you still need to establish that the MC holds romantic feelings towards her. It might be a tough battle, he might be really scared to do something and that is fine. Through all these interactions and scenes they share, step by step for him try doing more FOR HER, not just because of Lily but because he wants to try getting closer to Allison. Unfortunately the devs did the exact opposite and they've been riding the "she hates me" card like crazy.
In my mind, for a female character to be considered LI, you need to establish romantic interest between her and the MC and the game fails to do so through the whole first act. We know Allison still loves him and wasn't able to move on but how does the MC feel.. well the answer is "uninterested".
Obviously, she is LI choice but if you are a player that has no walkthrough and doesn't interact on forums and such, then it is IMO pretty fair to think she is not LI and doesn't have a romance route.

I think we had this discussion already but the MC doesnt dare to hope for more after everything which happend. Which is kiiiiinnnnnd of understandble, unlike us he doesnt get to read allisons thoughts or sees her mimics switching whenever shes enamored.
Starting to hope for a second chance for a woman who repeateadly tell you that there wont be a second chance (because she tries to convince herself of that) is kinda setting yourself up for failure and heartbreak.
Thats the difference to the other LI's where Jake is sure of their affection for him, with Allie he doesnt know if he gets the chance ever again.
I dislike inner monologues from mcs gushing over LI's stronlgy anways but here for example its possible to state Jake's intentions about allison (towards V tho which obviously makes it a toned down version):

If you do Allie path without V involved, you as a player don't get to know this though. It is a very important information that shows he still has feelings for her but again, without being on V's path too.. you just don't know because the game doesn't bother telling you this on solo Allison playthough.
I honestly don't remember, maybe we did have this discussion. I still think that the MC isn't dumb and unaware, I would say that it is the opposite. There is so many hints from Allison from the interactions they had that directly tell she doesn't hate him anymore.
If a woman that I believe hates my guts cooks for me and kisses me, then I question whether she really does still hate me the very next day. They hug, hold hands.. sleep in one bed..all these interaction scream that she doesn't hate him anymore yet he still thinks she does.
I was just trying to explain how some people can think she is not LI, that is all. If the devs wanna ride the resentment arc for all 3 acts and have them reuinite in epilogue then it is what it is.
It is just shame because her path already started from major disadvantage and it barely moves. I can be boyfriend to V, date Maggie, fuck around with Jammin.. and when it comes to Allison.. its "she hates me I guess, its fine.. Ill find out more later".. just meh which to me, after 3 episodes.. around 12k renders? is just tragic.
I mean he does aknowledge that things are getting better between them and everyone around them does it too. You can literally see Cooper and Wife smirk when they ask how things get along and Jake replies something very broad lol
But its different with him and allie compared to the other LI's, theres a different weight on the whole thing.
There is no dating, getting a girlfriend, getting to know each other over time and always kinda having a possibility to back out for both partners.
Here it is about getting back together in a serious way again, recreating the family.
And yeah Jake is aware that Allison is warming up to him again or rather stopping to try to hate him but the problem was never that she didnt loved him. She divorced him because of what happend despite her love for him.
Even if they had sex or jake would be 100% aware that shes still in love with him, it could still mean that she doesnt forgive him and doesnt take him back. She has to let him in a bit more for him to be able to make a move / have hope, the dinner was the first step as something she did for him rather unrelated to lily.
And out of the story: I think one more reason is that the other LI's still give the player the possibility to fool around, MC is not exclusive with Maggie, Jasmine or Natalya and V has the cuckquean kink which enables the player to kinda fuck around to some degrees.
This wouldnt really be possible, going back to allison and lily immediately equals being exclusive
And any other choices (aka Jake cheating on Allie AGAIN lol) should lead to a bad end at least with the mc's family anway
BUT i agree that it should start to become more serious soon and could have happened during the trip already.

and what parent would let his child be a labrat like this - without consulting other experts (not that asshole katzei ofc) first
yeah yeah ik "i'd do everything for my child" - but like this?

I don't think that aspect is all that far-fetched. People sign up for experimental treatments all the time.thats the most bullshit medical treatment i ever heard of

Expecially if their life (ore the life of a beloved one) is at stake and there is almost no hope.

ofc
but would you put a child through this without seeking for other, less experimental , invasive options first
surgery on the brainstem - the slightest hiccup is fatal and final
they dont even think/consider to seek other opinions
ik its the story here - just my opinion (yeah yeah overthinking as always
)

It's been a while, but wasn't that largely covered in the game? Doctors saying this is the path, and then Kalani coming in and giving them an alternative which they took partly because of the (lack of) care being given in the hospital and partly because of the promise the WUI presented. I wouldn't suggest it's the sort of thing/situation where you'd go off and try to find out if there are other options that the medical professionals are not giving you.ofc

Did I understand it correctly that there hasn't been any new content since the Steam release? Talking about any differences between Ep 3.2 and Steam version 1.03..

Yep. The Dev just started on Episode 4 towards the end of March (according to the April 1st dev log), so it might be a while before a content update appears.
