I'm conflicted.
On one hand, this game is so good that you can't help but really bond with the characters.
On the other end, some of the characters live on the MCs past. I can't help but feel distress with that notion. For instance: my favorite character, (past) Scarlett. She won't have an happy ending with the MC. Maybe future Scarlett will, but that leaves an extremely sour taste in my mouth.
I only reached the lake scene with her in the new chapter, and it makes me not want to play the game anymore. Because I know for a fact I'm going to get hurt. Unless we bring her to the future, there is no good ending possible for her character, only subpar endings (specially since her past design is 15/10 and her future design is like an 8 in comparison).
If I were the MC, I'd just stay indefinetely in the past... But there's Skylar in the future, and going to the past is clearly effing up our relationship with her, perhaps irreversibly (I feel like that message was really important, I'll need to replay the game since I don't remember most of the other chapters ahahah!).
Should we just pick up the girls from the future and move permanently to the past? That seems like a good idea to me.
Jestur, can you give a man some hopium? How can you ever give my girl happiness? Pretty sure you've noticed Scarlett is THE fan favorite.
