Rating: 9/10
Elmwood University - Ep.3 is WickedWare’s masterpiece to date. It tightens the pacing, deepens the characters, and delivers on the promise of the first two episodes. The improved rendering and branching complexity make it highly replayable at least three times to see all major paths. The only flaw? A few minor typos in the dialogue log, and the cliffhanger ending will leave you craving Episode 4 immediately. Elmwood University -Ep.3- By WickedWare

Episode 3 doesn’t feel like a middle chapter. It feels like a climax. While Episode 4 has been teased for a 2025 release, Episode 3 ends on a definitive note—a massive fire in the old arts building that leaves two characters’ fates uncertain. It’s a cliffhanger, but a satisfying one because the episode resolved so many smaller arcs first.
