The problem with these games are they lack critical details one would find in novels, so to point players have to make leaps of logic to fill in the gaps. The best games are those that don't require too big of leaps.
APM doesn't require a Wild E. Coyote rocket pack to make those jumps. We know firsthand Anna lived under an all controlling tyrant of a father... we know it was never enough for her father Anna's successes. So, we have 'leap' that Anna's life was one of unfulfillment. We know that David wasn't as controlling as Anna's tyrannical father but somewhat controlling.
I disagree. It was a dinner from the past, at the beginning of the Ch1 game, with a penguin (Henk) celebrating Anna's promotion. David was also at that dinner, and Anna was already pregnant. Penguin was checking on her, as if deliberately using the pretext of Anna's pregnancy, so he placed his hand on her belly and gave her a few slaps on the butt. When Anna was angry, David reacted, and Anna sided with David, explaining the penguin's inappropriate behavior as being drunk. He didn't want David to fight with the penguin. We don't know when Sophia was born.__________________________________++++++++++++++______________________________________
But many miss the lesser clues who Anna really is. A huge miss is the story Anna tells in monologue about getting groped at David's office party and the night Sophia was conceived. She was so turned on by the incident it turned out to be a wild night of passion--that is a huge hint what Anna was about.
