Finished the two complete runs (Lily + Debbie and Manwhore), now I'll have to take on the others....
I was afraid that I would find this new chapter extremely short, having played the rest of the game all together, it was not particularly long, but I can not say that it was short at all. certainly the large number of LIs feels its weight on these occasions, they are excluded always too many ...
positive judgement with a couple of reservations.
excellent the 3 moments with the three girls (both sexual and convivial), predictable but well done the reaction of Katie who confirms to be a lioness, less predictable the reaction of the two friends who accept to do at least one more ride on the merry-go-round despite Katie's declarations, very very bad that instead there isn't already an opening for the triangle of my heart with Lily and Debbie (having to lie to Lily was terrible)
another small negative note on the scene (which for me is the heart of the episode) is that Katie's desire to make their relationship official is however set aside...
the retcon on the value of the wine bottles also made me turn up my nose a little, it had been a nice little joke, why cancel it?
let's move on to the most controversial scene: the reunion with Jolina. excluding how much of an octopus Jolina is if we're not in a relationship with her I think the scene is correct. Jenna (and possibly MC) have really wronged her, that they give her carte blanche for punishment is acceptable, and it's also fair that Jenna wants to stay and complains if MC doesn't. what makes the scene annoying is that no one really trusts Jenna, no one believes that her goal is to make amends (actually she confesses herself that she went there with a dream in her drawer), if MC has any kind of relationship with Jolina it's thanks to Jenna, who has continuously stressed how much she appreciates the blonde physically, but for MC's sake she's ready for an encore, just for MC's sake eh. she was already a manipulative stalker before MC's arrival, now she has become a stalker, manipulator, exhibitionist and nymphomaniac... good job
the scene with Natasha is practically a joke, it's true that it doesn't paint a perfect picture depending on how we get there, but it should be taken as a funny moment, without loading it too much
finally, the scene with Elaine, i found it a bit cumbersome, not very natural, the request she makes to MC doesn't make sense, and the motivation (the emotional value of a house where all the memories she talks about are negative...) isn't believable. it's probably related to her conditions on the will, even the fact that it becomes a blackmail for the player to access or not to have sex doesn't improve the situation. the sex scene is very good, even if i found the guilt variant unusually weak.
and finally the twist that isn't a twist, either it was Elaine or a character we didn't know, the fact that it's Elaine is really not significant, she could very well say that she did it to avoid MC being alone, and it would still be believable... interesting will only be the scene that will open the next chapter in case MC sleeps with her, I would like a good fight.
**** on 5
