Okay, through with the update and the full replay. Decided to ignore Megan's biography for now since it's unlikely to be needed.
Oh well, guess some old stuff hasn't been captured, like the old "would of" instead of "would have" back in C2, and of course if you were to drink a shot every time you read "shortly" you'd still be in a coma ten minutes into playing the game (somebody please give that Australian headwriter a thesaurus, thank you very much!).
As for the new update, yes, things are progressing nicely; you are slowly getting a bit more action from the family outside of secret scenes; also
Zora is getting her second scene - meaning she leads the whole family 2-0 - plus technically a
third scene if you count the lesbian one with Yuki. Speaking of her, when I read Hype correctly we shouldn't get too attached to her (I guess most won't like her anyway) but I hope that we will at least see her go through some transformation before she likely calls it quits. Also did not expect how we got out of the cliffhanger from C3, that was certainly an unexpected surprise.
As for the waitress, I guess she's supposed to be Yuki from Sunshine Love, but if that theory stands, how does she mention that Zora's lover and hers have the same name? I mean, in my case it fits, but she has no way of knowing since SL is installed on the old PC's hard disk and not on this one. Or does the Dots Team just assume that we always use the same name for the MCs and have played all the games? I am slightly confused - or read too much into it.
Finally, I know that those MCs can sometimes be a bit dense (case in point: the one from Sunshine Love), but I hate to admit that Victor is correct in one thing: This one is a special kind of stupid in some ways. So Officer Justice lets you get off easy as you have evidence on her, and you got everything out of her that you needed. So any sane person would actually quit while you're ahead, shake hands and never bother each other again. But no, you continue to use that video for some sexual harassment, giving her a reason to hold a grudge and plot revenge against you. Again, how stupid can you be?

Like others, I want really want to like the new VN, Barbara (Bella) and Vivi(an) are great, I love Ariel when she takes her glasses off (although that seems a bit random) and I still think that Zora's inclusion is great as ginger BBWs deserve love, too. And I know that we are supposed to be a criminal, but I would like to do it a bit more Victor Hugenay style (for non
The Three Investigators readers: in a gentlemanly way) instead of being a creepy douche for love points.
