I may have lied. Or my opinion is subject to change idk. Despite being underwhelmed with some of the character writing in this chapter, I do keep getting drawn into conversations about small details people keep finding in the dialogue.
After I played ch 3 and 4, I basically fell into a month long psychosis where I spent most of my free time relistening to the ost, creating fan art and watching theory videos, and I sadly didn't feel anything like that for ch 5. I didn't hate it, but I would say apathy is worse.
