Haven't got much time to play these days but made it to chapter 2. The trials are more interesting so far but I'm not liking the minigames this time around. It seems they've made them annoying on purpose. The one where you slash word is terribly irritating.
They also increased the creepy pervert stuff up a notch in this one, unfortunately.
They all suck. Unnecessary padding to add gameplay when the trial itself is already interesting in its own. I'm in Chapter 3 and they make you do way more of them. I'm tempted to switch to Gentle just so they're less annoying.
