I didn't know; it seemed like you could since I let the timer run out on one and I failed, but I wasn't sure you could if you made selections.

I thought the best part of the game was the wine speech check and Rachel going "nooooooooooo" if you suggest mouth to mouth.

But yeah, Rachel's weird. Chloe's line about her being creepy (which is a dialogue option after truth and lie) shows that the developers acknowledge it, and the weird tree stuff wasn't just for effect.

The first half of the episode, I was afraid Rachel was a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. She got the depressed and brooding protagonist to do things with no pretense or explanation, and got her out of her depression temporarily. Then, Deck Nine subverted the trope and gave Rachel her own motivations and storyline, showing that she's using Chloe, among other things. I didn't trust them to deliver a story without stock characters by that point, since up until then, that's all it was.
