I like Zoey quite a bit. She's cute as hell and her backstory is pretty good. Shitty, but believable.
However, none of my Tremolo's are happy with her. Not always "Mad at her". But she's a terrible fucking friend. Most of the time I ignore her and treat her like shit because of it. She hasn't really apologized in a meaningful way for leaving you friendless and ghosting you at all. Doesn't respect that while she decided she didn't care about you until she got bored and sucked at surfing that we had a very hard time and were pretty broken about it. But get you a little female attention and suddenly she cares.

But that's so realistic.

Her main problem is we never really discuss her with anybody (one quick talk). There havent been enough flashbacks to show our connection. She should at least be featured in a heavy talk we have with whoever we are dating about why you are/were hurt. Gets sympathy from the girl, gives more backstory. Makes us care about them both more. Another reason the "Better friend" question has no weight.
At the end of episode 10, she finally realizes what her relationship with the MC was really like before her “Interlude”. It wasn't just two teenage friends discovering sex together. They were in love. She followed her dream, it got messed up, and she comes back and realizes that her dream was illusory (I'm not sure how to put this) and that it also cost her the MC (potentially).

For me, we don't need to have any more discussion of the MC on this subject. His discussion with Bella and the way he reacted when he thought she had a boyfriend is enough to show how he feels about Zoey. In the last episode, she finally realizes this, at the same time as she realizes it was the same for her.


Things really need to move forward with Zoey in the next episode. There needs to be a clear discussion between her and the MC, at the end of which they either move on (just friends) or get together.

A big problem here is that if the MC is with a MG, how do you deal with that situation? Which makes me worry that it won't happen right away (you have to reduce the story content before adding this kind of content-intensive event) or that the player won't have much choice (if with a MG, Zoey remains just a friend).

(Or maybe all that extra development time has been put to good use...)

My subjective opinion. Our guy was already saved by the time the game started. He was a bit vulnerable and hysterical, which is normal for a 19 year old, he was unsure of what he wants. But his friendship with Zoey really saved him from turning into a Nika Cyrus dark version, who would one day come to school with AR-15 and homemade bombs.
Guy was a nobody without friends, suffering from bullying. She pulled him out of the hole and added bright colors to his life, which improved his mental state and changed him for the better. He suffered from Zoey departure, but he dealt with it, earlier version of him would hardly have been able to do this, and even more unlikely to talk to Josy ever.
Josy helped him distract himself when several months had already passed after Zoey left, but "saved him" is too much for her. He barely spoke to her until the events of the game start, even though they worked together all summer and she was just crush for him. How long had it been since Zoey left? I estimate more than half a year.
Seriosly, our guy should stop crushing on every girl he see and thinking that this is something serious :KEK:

Well I think because other than Zoey MC did not have a proper relationship that's why he is crushing in every woman he interacted with thinking that they have an interest with him. In short he is a "Man Whore"

There's a somewhat similar reaction when Maya tells her that she kissed MC, and that it "felt real". I don't think Sage would hold it against either girl, but the kiss with Maya might bother her more than the sex with Cammy.
You know I get the feeling that Sage isn't just jealous of MC's feelings for Maya, but also of Maya's feelings for MC.
So much so, that I'm starting to expect that if Maya and Josy split up (and MC isn't on Maya or Sage's path), there's a pretty good chance that Maya and Sage might end up together!

He is very rookie in love, by his own words. Need to grow up.

I am still shocked DPC didn't just used her as immediate relationship drama, like most people feared, he handled her so well the she skyrocketed for me into top 3 waifus. Hope he sticks the landing both on the closure and romance routes.
I was interested in her when she was shown in that flashback when your trying to get Bella to like you in the cafeteria, it seems to me that everyone forgets about that flashback being when we are first "introduced" to her, not the end of ep 8(?)/interlude.

I know in my main save my MC has moved on and is happy with Maya and Josy, but I will definitely do an Others path where I get back together with her. I like Zoey in general but after a year away with almost no contact, can't just pick up where ya left off.

Zoey Chloe and mc had two mistake.
1 - they should have find a compromise, before she leave.
i dont know what should be it. maybe she move out from her home and move in Neil's place. only for half year and after mc take the college one year later, when he is back... with her. so, both are doing a wait with the own wanted thing for the other's sake.

2 - they stop with the chat. the last nail in their relationship's coffin.
yes, yes. the chat was painful. but it was the last thing what keep them in touch and keep their relationship alive.

nobody to blame. or both. as you like it.
anyway, they lost each other. mc got depressed. he found Jojo. as Geralt From Rivia the Greatest Swordsman of Cowards said with his wise and untold words. Jojo is alady. Jojo became the new light of mc's dark and painful world. Jojo saved him.

what is a nice parallel. Jojo is as vulnerable and love hungry little cutie as mc is.

After the interlude and her presence in the final scene of season two (from Neil, really like she was ready to ‘invade’ the scene), it seemed Zoey was to be much more central in season three, instead for now she has remained very marginal, while in the ninth she had been a pleasant distraction in a ‘hostile’ chapter, in the tenth we already had ‘more of the same’, with flat content compared to the choices made in the game.

in the next chapter something should happen, hopefully.
