Compared to the first episode, it is much darker in tone. It is far less silly and over the top, but I wouldn't say it's an unwelcome change, nor an unexpected one. There were hints throughout the first episode that the series would shift that direction, so I wasn't caught off-guard.
It provides some deeper insight on the characters' personalities and helps me appreciate them more than I had in the last episode, not that I didn't already appreciate them. 01 specifically I enjoy a great deal. She became a lot more nuanced and human in this episode, with a couple moments that really showed just how much she cared for her family—and also just how fucking gay she is for Lucy.
One thing I noticed about this game that I didn't in the first one is just how good the music is. The polite boy's theme specifically really stands out with this creepy—but somehow still friendly demeanor that stands out to me.
The new characters that were added, or we got more light on, were enjoyable too. Karina specifically I enjoyed a lot, probably because everyone else hates her and I got mad at them >:( She didn't do anything to you! She's just silly!!!!!
