I was really looking forward to more updates from this young dev, but 3 episodes in and already putting out side stories is never a good sign. The problem with these newer devs is the mind set to focus on multiple projects at once instead of focusing on world and character building. These projects work better at the end of the game or a season or possibly a dlc release not while you're working on the main game itself!
I'm not too worried about the Ntr, it's not something I'm into but it's still optional at this point. If that changes well, then it's just another game I pass up it's not a big deal. We'll see how the next episode goes.
