◆ WARNING: SPOILER - For the Developer ◆
══════════════════════════════════════════════
Recently finished the DLC, mixed feelings, I would like the developer to read my review. The DLC turned out to be not bad, despite the fact that it took 2 months to release the DLC. Maki's development remained true to the canon of the story. Again, as with Chapter 4, they rushed Anya's corruption, especially at the end of the DLC when Rob grabbed Anya by the backside and they discussed how they would spend time together, with Anya being the initiator.
With this action, the developer, in my opinion, killed the charm and mystery of Anya. After this DLC, Anya becomes on par with the other girls, and there is no longer the feeling of a shy and sweet Anya. It could have been played out differently, where she remains reserved in the company and only gradually becomes more uninhibited during intimate moments, when she can no longer resist her desires and acts on impulse rather than reason. Perhaps adding a trait where, after the passion subsides, she regrets how she behaved in the heat of the moment, creating an internal struggle between temptation and restraint. If in Chapter 4 you quickly transitioned Violet’s nature, in the DLC the ending was also spoiled by the rushed transition with Anya.

⚔ Positive Aspects ⚔
══════════════════════════════════════════════
✅ Excellent graphics, but if the art takes too long to create, it would be better to make it as before and release updates faster.
══════════════════════════════════════════════
Negative Aspects
══════════════════════════════════════════════
❌ The animations were decent, but more could have been added with Anya. Since the DLC was more focused on changing the perception of Anya, in my opinion, there was not enough key screen time for this character.
❌ As I mentioned, character development happens too quickly in some moments, making the characters less unpredictable.

⚠ Developer, do not cater to the audience. Create as you feel. ⚠
Following the audience too much may cause you to lose the original concept you envisioned.
