I liked this game for the way of its storytelling, smooth steps of characters' corruption, events and circumstances design, connections between situations and characters choices in dialogs... but in that so called "Halloween update" - there are none of that. It's just primitive 1-scene story which don't have any connections with main story events. The only thing which is good there is just animations mechanic, which become slightly better: still not as good as it should be to enjoy it on replays, but just not that eyes-cutting-awful as before.
In my opinion that Halloween scene was just a waste of time, it's sad it just took resources from the posibility of producing the continue of the main game story...
Dev said that chapter 7 will appear somewhere in late January 2025, but taking in mind that his updates are quite often have a habbit to appear much later than it was promised then take it as slight hope to see chapter 7 somewhere in late February-March.
Looking back on previous charpters - I bet there will be 1 half-hot scenes, and a bunch of dreamings of characters about events which got not connection to ingame reality but got renders wasted on it, and some events which were happening for real in the game, but they will be interupted by characters on the most interesting point, against player's will, as it was happeing almost in every scenes before.
