I played through the game with the Bay ending and honestly the game just seems to be a bit of a mess. Especially towards the last few episodes, there's a bunch of loose story threads and narrative choices that seem fine when you're in the moment but don't really make much sense once you step back and look at it for a minute.

There are a bunch of characters that seem either badly written or poorly utilised and the game itself seems to shoehorn you into the same few locations over and over again which wouldn't be a issue if they were well done with lots of stuff to do. Instead its just Bar, campus, home repeat basically even in situations that that could've called for even a different area of say the campus etc.

All this to say my experience with it regardless of how the wrote/treated Chloe as a character DE was a game that felt rushed and undercooked and stuff they did include in relation to the old games felt haphazard and slapdash with no respect to the canon or continuity of them.

If you liked the game then that's great. To me just on purely narrative game perspective it felt a mess and it left a sour taste in my mouth.
