Honestly, the best thing ocean can do is write a bloody introduction to the game where the core of the chapter is introduction of MC's old connections to his GF.
Who the fuck is Leila? Dilan? Katie? Helen? All other twenty people? Why MC cares about them, why do they matter, what had he done (other than ran away, lol). If it is a detective, give us a bloody set up - what kind of "car incident" was there? What's the crime scene? Why is Dilan is a suspect and what is his power and reach to organize anything?
I don't know anything about this whole world and feel like I am watching a second movie without seeing the first. So far the only people I even remotely care about are Miru, that blonde girl MC wronged and Katie cause they got some explanation and some explanations. Everyone else are just a black box with tits.
Well, in part you can "thank" Patreon for this, with their squeaky-clean bigotry! You want a real introduction and why the MC cares for all his former room/housemates? Here it is the uncensored situation:
-Leia is the MC´s twin sister, with whom he had a relationship "a lot deeper" than brother-sister normally are
-Kati is their little sis, who outed them as revenge
-Dylan and Helen are their parents. Helen had an accident, which was far more likely a murder attempt.
-Scarlet, Amber, Joe and family are the aunt/uncle/nieces/nephews of the Zanes
-Zoey is Kati´s lover. She and Stefan are from a family the Zanes are longtime friends with
-Dylan is currently only suspect because Leia is not aware of the full circumstances of the MC´s tumultous first departure. Dylan actually lied for both Willi and Leia back then, but Leia does only know Dylan´s involvement in Willi´s flight from Wollust.
- The brutal Krayt gang is spreading in Wollust. Among the people opposing them the most are Leia and their Uncle Joe.
-Dana, who became a lawyer, is an old friend of Dylan
-Monica is a department head in the police and was wronged by the MC back in the day. It is your choice if you want to repair the damage or not
-Abigail is a close friend of Helen, but still closed the case of her "accident" on orders from above
-Gina, the coffee shop worker, is an old friend of the MC too
-Daphne is one of the few friends the MC has in the city he lived after his departure from Wollust
