It's taboo because the child produced by incest has genetic flaws...reduced IQ to the point of mental retardation, teeth size and extra teeth growing in weird locations, webbed toes and fingers, and really bad mental issues to the point of be a psychopath, and etc.
Sometimes the flaws skip a generation but they show up .

I like playing games like these but please do not try to normalize incest.
This is after long term repeated incest among the children of the partnering. One generation, unless there is a major recessive genetic issue that only comes to light by specifically pairing two people, does not produce such situations.

I'm gonna have to ask you to stop playing Fortnite because you're normalizing murder sprees and unsafe building practices.

Countless studies have shown that violent video games or movies have negligible impact on society, so why is it people are so quick to believe that sexual fetishes does. In fact I'll go so far as to say that puritanism has far worse consequences on society than fictional characters, nothing brings out perversion quite like repression.

Just because someone enjoys a fictional fetish, that doesn't mean they'd ever indulge in it in reality, or even want to.

I loved Avalon, one of my fav games out there. I'm going to skip PFYT, Penny is cool and all, but female/multi protagonist are one of biggest turn-off imho. I'm going to try this instead, hoping to find here the same humor as Avalon's
Agree, specially when they are more female than multi protagonist

do you think every girl with a rape fantasy want to be raped? do you think every guy with a rape fantasy will do it for real?
sane humans can separate fantasy from reality....

and yes, we seen what happens when you marry 1st cousin over and over and over in certain countries :eek:
it is a statistic some people dont want to see as it goes against their ideology or something :p
incest is illegal in civilized countries because of what you mention can happen to the off springs.

btw you might be a little late, porn industry is over flowing with mom and dad and daughter porn, it is a biggest seller, but ofc they have to add step in front to be able to sell it :p but you can never stop this train...title might say something like "my stepdad blackmailed my ass" but the "dad" will say like "but you are my STEP daughter" once and then she will just call him dad for the rest of the time :p

unsure how many billions the porn industry would lose if they banned that category, too much I think as the government would not want to lose all that tax :eek:

To be fair back in OLD days a lot of families are created based off of incest. Hell the rich did it to keep their bloodline pure. Incest has been around in our society for quite some time, whether people want to admit it or not.

I loved Avalon till..."Penny" overtook the game and sidelined the main cast. I wont play PFYT because one of the main Li's from Avalon that should have been with the MC of Avalon has jumped the fence for "Penny" hence making that game a big drawback and of no interest to me personally. I will watch and see where this one goes before touching it...Would not surprise me to have another side character come in and sideline the main cast....My guess "Penny" will show up and ruin this one too.

There are only two characters in this game so far, you should play it; it's really good.

I am more or less in the same boat. Those are usually on my pass list, unless it really stands out among the competition. While Penny is a great character I would prefer to play as someone else.

A question for the development team/ Lockheart :
I do like the renders shown in the preview images! How much of your focus will be allocated to this game compared to PFYT?
My guess is that the main focus is PFYT and thus this is a side project. That would mean longer between updates, as well as less time to work on the main game so updates for that one would take longer now as well. While I do get the decision business-wise, as a player/reader/viewer I absolutely loathe it when development teams split their focus! Usually it means finances are more important than the content and that is a shame.
Anyway, good luck with both projects!

I too agree with Severedrealms , I too loved Avalon which was one of my top loved games I too felt that in the end it was more of Penny 's game than MC game.( I do not hate penny' s character in fact I love her but overuse of her in male mc game is pretty annoying) I haven't played penny's game but I would love to play this game and I hope there will be no interference of Penny in this game story . It would be nice if she makes Guest or special appearance but hope does not stay in the story .

I'm joining the crowd with the opinion that PFYT is something I download to kill time, but this game... this game is something I truly enjoyed, much like most of Avalon. The prosaism of Lockheart scripts is simply unparallelled. The vocabulary is anything but pretentious, the style is down to earth, yet s/he weaves all of this simplicity into something that plays my emotions like an instrument to make me feel whatever s/he wants to. I'm completely intimidated by this mastery, it makes me feel like a subpar writer, yet it leaves me yearning for more.

There were all of 5 VNs out of 350 that made me feel things indistinguishable from emotional responses to real events, this one joined them in a 0.1 release. I'm just taken aback.

Lockheart has said this is specifically a game that will try to appeal to a wider audience. That means the story will be dialed back compared to his other efforts and there will be more “action”.
If you preferred Avalon, this likely won’t be your favorite, but if you thought Avalon was boring or lacked sex, then this will likely appeal to you more.

I loved Avalon, i dont like PFTY because its a female protagonist game (i still think Cassian is there just to fish someone with a Male protagonist tag) an i will try this later, i hope i can enjoy it as much as Avalon or at least more than PFYT
