[b][u]The story[/u][/b] continues right where season 1 ended, and should you be like me and forget what happened in the previous game, don't worry there is a recap of the key events available right away.
Chapter 6 (where we start this time) has quite the title: "race against time" which right away sparks haste and tension, as Eva and Luna, our love interests are kidnapped, we must do everything we can to get them back! Seeking help from our friendly information broker Melinda, leads us on a list of errands, favors and tasks. Do a favor for one person, fetch something for another, talk to mysterious people. Long story we're getting nowhere, and the sense of urgency fades quickly, as we settle into the mundane life in the Boiler.
Honestly all it took was talking to the strange girl named Harper, to get the location of the kidnapped ladies. This was underwhelming to say the least. Having saved Eva, and ensuring that Luna is safe, we must keep digging to unravel the mystery that surrounds us. Strap in for this season finale to unfold rather quickly.
[b][u]The gameplay[/u][/b] is what you would expect out of a Ren'Py AVN; choices leading to a branching storyline, and after every chapter you get a diagram showing the paths you took and decisions you made. If you remember this feature from the first game, you will easily pick up on it, and quite frankly it comes in handy, to unlock the rest of the content.
As the developer chose to focus more on storytelling, other areas suffered because of it. Characters felt rather bland. Instead of having them go through trials and growth, all events were forced, their mood swings, strange actions and behavior all worked to fit the story, but was quite artificial. For example; Melinda the broker was quite cold towards the main character in one scene, then the next meeting she jumps into his arms, kisses him, all flirty and completely breaking her cool, level headed cold persona built up. The same changes were felt in Kate, as she was rational, and level headed, yet now all of a sudden she snaps, throws fits, gets moody, and goes on a revenge fit. Again this was all done for the story to progress and was definitely taking away from immersion and character personalities.
Something to note was this very annoying feature in the dialogue. When talking to a character, or someone talking to you, the text would be broken up into 3 to 4 sections. It's hard to explain, but try to follow: the first line of the dialogue will be the character speaking, followed by italic text of the character thinking, then the third line them speaking and fourth italic again them thinking. Normally in AVN's you don't do such things. You divide the thinking and speaking sections, not mesh them into one and really mess with the reader's perception.
Well at the very least I was quite pleased with the NSFW content. The scenes were well done, fluid, and pleasing from start to finish. With the introduction of new characters, again it all felt forced and rushed. So be prepared; every woman you meet will have sex with the protagonist.
[b][u]The conclusion[/u][/b] is tough to write. So let's go with the good first; the girls are rendered quite beautifully, in fact gorgeous. The NSFW scenes are really good. Wow I thought I'd write more, but that seems to be it.
Onto the bad; while the characters were rendered quite well, they were clearly pasted onto the backgrounds. It is very noticeable, as backgrounds at times are too large, the characters too small, and their poses and stances just clash instead of merging. This was very jarring. Especially in the bar scene where Kate instead of holding her drink, had her hand way off to the side never connecting with the glass. Speaking of the bar scene. I understand the developer wanting to rush story, but when Melinda contacts you and says: "I found the guys who kidnapped the girls, go to this bar and kidnap one of them", the MC says: "got it" calls up Kate and you to go to the bar to get jump on the guys. Anyone else catch on to the problem here? There was never a description of the "guys", no names, nothing. Just go to a night club and get one of them. I could mention quite a few moments that make no sense, but let's move on.
There are moaning sound effects in the NSFW scenes, and I recommend you turn them off, because the ladies (a doctor, an old broker, a journalist etc..) all have teenage voices..
As for the finale, the grand reveal and the unraveling of everything, again that was done through dialogue, no flashbacks, no real immersion, felt like an info dump. Same with the ending sequences. Sure we get some more NSFW scenes, based on our choices, but no real "happy or decent ending" just sex with a girl, a, b, c, d.
I was disappointed with this title, finding out this was a season finale was at least a sign of relief, because after playing this, no one could force me to buy another season.
The pacing was too quick, the story was weak and sloppy, the forced sex to every woman was nice for the spice, but that was it. Also the Deluxe Edition is not worth it; a mediocre walkthrough, and 10 wallpapers. Pick this up on sale or as a bundle, as it's quite expensive for 4 hours of total content. I'll give it a decent rating as this is the final season, and the girls were gorgeous. Again the ladies spike the ratings!
