This feels much closer to the original idea the first game was trying to come up with, and while I like the original it doesn't really focus that much on the social aspect like this game does. It shows more of Nicole's sociopath nature and how it affects those around her. I enjoyed how the endings felt more like a proper ending to each of their routes compared the endings in the first. The Ari routes in particular are definitely the best written here, as it's easier to feel bad for depressed co-dependent lesbian compared to some of the other people you fuck over in the other endings.
