Differences

 * Veronica doesn't make an appearance in this game series, mostly because the developers wanted to focus on Ashley.
 * However, her daughter still makes an appearance.
 * Alejandro technically no longer exists due to Velo taking the role. There are some hints proving it.
 * Ashley and James broke up before the plot of the game series started.
 * Velo the Dinosaur King serves as the main antagonist for the series, being a replacement to Alejandro.
 * Imp Kings are no longer a thing due to the controversy on 2018 about the developer's supposed "fetish" of overusing imps.
 * Due to this, Oscar's character was rebranded to become a devil.
 * The game series is now taking a mature route, TBD.
