Played the game through a few times and I have to say I love it. Chapter 16 does not disappoint. My favorite character is Katie by far. I love the banter and back and forth between her and the MC. She does not take shit and can dish it out as well. She has a lot of insecurities but when she lets herself can take a step back and give an honest assessment of herself even if it puts her way out of her comfort zone. That one of the things I look for in women so I appreciate in the media I enjoy.
Couple of questions/observations:
- Its clear Jolene is more than a simple coffee shop owner. I suspect her desire to run a coffee shop is genuine assuming the story about her nan was not made up, but I think she was a hacker, intelligence analyst or something in her former job because I think Jenna found something on her laptop a normal person would not have. Interested to see what happens. Hope she is not a plant sent by Elaine or the other potential heir to mess with the MC.
- Theresa is clearly bat shit crazy. Its fine to have strong religious convictions, I know lots of people that do and take comfort from them but her blind faith in her son and her hypocritical actions are crazy. I think she lost touch with reality a while ago. Hopefully she can be convinced to reign in her son, though it might be a better option to go to the cops with all their evidence cause Tommy seems like be might escalate his behavior in the future. While I am sure the MC could sufficiently 'convince' him to back off Jenna without killing him I kind of want to see Hurricane Katie unleashed on him.
- Jenna continues to be full of surprises like showing up on the screen like that. I like to see her cone out of her shell whether you romance her or not. Though I do wonder if any of her shyness was an act to cover up the hacking or other activities?
- Debbie I think is in for a lot of heartache. While Lily I think is not totally unperceptive to a woman's charms I think she would see it as more of adding spice to a standard relationship. Lily is in her own words attracted to men. I think if say the MC and Katie invited her into an intimate moment she may accept but that is not what Debbie is looking for. I think Debbie should come out and try to find a real girl girl relationship instead of trying to manipulate things with her best friend. I think is will blow up in her face. Unless the devs want to get maximum sexy time but based on the story elements previously depicted I don't think they would throw all realism away.
- Monica is a bundle of nervous sexual energy and needs to get herself a man to scratch that itch. Have played the game with and with out romancing Monica and I does not really change things. I am looking forward to the scene when if you are on the Katie or Jenna route and you have to tell her because it is getting too hard to coverup anymore. Will she be happy that her daughter and someone she loves like a son are happy or will she flip out as Katie previously mentioned someone defiled her daughter or will her own jealousy/frustration bubbles to the surface. Looking forward to it.
- Any potential strike back from Natasha/Roger. They were humiliated in the worse way possible and that cannot have felt good. I mean they more then earned it but give their personalities thye have had a few weeks (game time) to lick their wounds and may want revenge. Could be interesting especially if the story continues beyond the final reading of the will.
- The others are generally fun characters but are very much side notes at the moment.
Looking forward to more.
