Hello! First I want to congratulate and thank the creator for the new update and wish them the best of luck with their internship and hope the coming months will be kind to them and others around them. I have the extended version so this comment section will mostly be about my personal opinions about it, so for those who don't have it, just in case please don't read it to avoid spoilers unless you plan to get it but unsure about it and especially if you aren't of age yet. I also hope this doesn't offend anyone and most of all the creator if they see this.
*Semi spoiler ahead*
So I actually played the first update before it was decided to implement a fee. After playing the second update, I got the extended version to get the whole gaming experience as I personally enjoy the writing and overall gameplay, plus I really love mystery aspects. I also grew to like all the characters after the second update and wondered if the extended version will allow more chances to get to know characters like Sol better, which it did. I definitely got to see a separate/personal side to Sol, which was nice even if Sol being in your bedroom scene did make me feel uncomfortable ( I won't go any further to prevent full spoilers), but I appreciated he didn't go any further when mc was almost attacked; however this did not make my opinion of the game any less because the creator depicted Sol exactly what he is supposed to be, a yandere character. It sounds obvious I know, but I haven't really played much yandere games and mainly exposed myself to ones that have traits where they always rely on mc's consent first and never really go any further without their knowledge and I avoid games with yandere characters who physically inflict harm on mc. While Sol cares for mc's safety, to me, I think the creator did a fantastic job depicting the both romantic but also greedy side of how yandere can be that isn't mainly geared towards soley on their idea of mc's wants and needs. It's hard to explain since I know there are no set depiction of how yanderes are supposed to behave or be, but rather than things feeling like the character only lives for mc's sake almost disregarding themselves, they are very forward on their own wants and desires. I am also excited to see Crowe's route too since Sol seems more transparent with their feelings than Crowe so I am definitely excited to see how his route plays out in the future!
