Impressions of a guy who beta tested the update:
1) It's long, easily clocked on more than 5 hours to me. I do play Renpy games rather slowly, but I can't see anyone "beating" the update in less than 2 hours unless he is skipping literally every single dialogue on the spot.
2) Chestnut (and the commisioned artist SantaKlaus) have outdone themselves in this update, easily the best backgrounds in the entire game. And theres one particular sequence similar to the hen-tea segment from update 0.4 that is a joy to see.
3) I was one of the testers who complained about the "serious middle". I didn't use these words when I talked to Pistachio but he confirmed it was indeed the sequence I had reported on my review of the update. I'm curious to see if F95 users will have similar issues with that sequence. It has to do with Lana's reaction to a particular plot point.
4) Wedge (the card game guard) steals every scene he's in.
5) Lore enjoyers will love one certain new character.
6) Be on the lookout for the two female teases, one is in the middle of the story and can't be missed but the second is optional and you might not see her if you don't explore everything.
Bottom like: you ALL better say you loved every single thing about this update because I don't want Pistachio and Chestnut going to sleep today still kicking themselves for releasing just an "okay" update. Understood????
