Ended up caving and watching a friend play through this new version via screenshare since PayPal doesn't work for me but it does for them. Fun time.
I have to say, really loving the new stuff. Looking forward to the rest being implemented.
Mocha does a fantastic job of being Betsy 2.0 for me, stealing my favourite character spot in no time. She's so indulgent in all the right ways... hope we get some final scenes with her and Betsy near the end of the game, just to get an idea of how far their conditions... progressed. Though with how big certain girls are getting, the potion seller's shop screen is starting to get pretty limiting in terms of offering a sense of scale.
Maybe end game cutscenes could help with that?
Speaking of, hope we get a gallery sometime for the... certain extreme scenes like with Betsy, Mocha, Hazel and other ones that would typically cause a game over if you just let them play out in a normal day. Feels a bit bad wanting to see them play out fully halfway into a difficult day.
Or at least add those sizes to sandbox/endless imo when the main game is done and those start getting fully fleshed out. Can't wait for the steam release with week 5 and anything that might come after!
