Super good job on the UI, that stood out to me first. I like that you went for a more mature writing style this time.
You didn't mention where you got the backgrounds from in your description. Or did you apply a filter over stock photos? Either way they felt pretty cohesive. (actually I just checked and it says in the game but I don't want to backspace since that ended with a compliment.)
Good job trying to create a more expansive world in this game, it really worked with the tone and style. :).
