First of all,
Eromantis, thank you for the awesome game! So far it's fun and intriguing, and Lily's story is really interesting to follow. Wish you strength and patience to see this story through to the final. Looking forward to it

As for episode 8, unfortunately, the pace of story has really sped up. Yeah, it all could be explained by town’s magic, but, really, three scenes during one day without any transitions - it’s too much in terms of narrative dynamics. Could be wrong, but I see the reasons for this decision as developer-ish/pragmatic (so to speak) - it’s not for me to judge, of course. Just hope it will not affect the overall logic and balance of the story.
On the bright side, the implementation of (at least) three routs (two club’s routs and one non-club) - is a good solution. Choice, various options - always a good thing))
Also, could someone please explain to me, why Goldberg was pissed off and threatened Lily in Ep8? I missed that moment
