I really hate to say it because I like the game, but this update felt almost like it was treading water and the plot has been moved to the next update. We are doing some half-assed "investigation" with Carissa / Shortcake / Cousin into the arsonist with not much coming out of it.
What we do though is start weeding out girls. With heavy heart I say good bye to Vicky. Even if she may be a casual fling, her Dad definitely doesn't think so, and I don't want to jump through every hoop imaginable for him only to end up leaving town 5 weeks later. This would feel like Charlotte Dobre declaring "Yes, you are" in one of her "AITA"-videos. And justifiably so. Same choices for Yuki (only affects my catch-up save since I only turn on her path for her PTs and doughnuts, but not on my main) and Lisa / Church Girl (somebody here may have renamed her Andrea). So far I kept the relationship running for a better chance to find out what her dad has to do with Sunshine Bay's seedy underbelly. Then again, that outcome may not be affected by whether or not you are in a relationship or not. And I may have encouraged Trisha to end things when you gave her advice during her confession.
So far no hard choices, but I am sure those will come when we get to "Mommy Dearest". Ideally my end game would be to stay in SB with Nicole, Half-Sis and Ashley, but I have a feeling that HS may not want to play along with that. Speaking of Sara / Half-Sis, her second scene was hot. The first one made me laugh because the glass she was supposed to hold on to was not rendered in some scenes, so she was bending over and holding on to air. Only some angles later could you see that there was glass due to a reflection. And I think it was her that gave me another love when a girl asked me if I liked what I saw and MC "answered" "Ooooh, a donut!"
Oh well, I hope the plot progresses more in six weeks. Consequently the cliffhanger was a bit lame.
Two updates ago: Ushigo is DEAD?
Last update: The Lighthouse is on FIRE?
This update:
Nicole may have been closer than you think.
Ah yes, there may have been a bug in there somewhere. Even though I've read an article about the success of last update's event, as confirmed by the Twins earlier, we never got credit for successfully hosting a Country Night.
