I only play by the rules that come as standard with the game, didn't know that. Now it makes more sense; I found it odd that his mother would be so calm about his father maintaining contact with such a stunning friend.

I play without the patch (I'm not a fan of incest) and I didn't find it odd. I assumed that the Mom and Dad have been split up for years and/or the mom has known her for years and is cool with her. I don't know if they address it in the game but The MC mentions that he isn't close to his Dad and I got the impression that they hadn't talked much or seen each other much over the years.

The dialogue for the non-incest variant to this one is handled a little better than other VNs I've seen. You could tell the dev (at least early on) tried to make both variants make sense. Portraying the aunt as an old family friend with a daughter can make sense contextually right up until the part where Elly's relationship to the MC is revealed and the MC acts like they did something taboo. There's obviously nothing controversial about fucking a childhood friend but when the dialogue shifts into taboos like "But it was so wrong! You're my _____!", then it makes it pretty obvious what the canon relationship is really supposed to be.

I don't care about incest one way or another so I usually start VNs without incest patches. Regardless of my feelings on incest in the real world, in the AVN world it's such a common trope that it's almost a rule at this point. Like "If thine family members are hot then thine family must be plowed". However, I prefer dialogue to make sense in context and the moment there is any hint of a taboo in the dialogue, then I'll toss in the incest patch so that it makes sense.

I played the Steam version, and I'm not sure if I missed it or if the Steam version has this option, but at the beginning of the game, it asks us if she'll be your aunt or a family friend. I decided to play with her as an aunt, and it really is better to play this game that way; it makes much more sense.

I agree with you for the most part. This game is one of maybe two or three games where real effort is put into having the non incest version feel valid. That scene annoyed me since I'm not playing with the patch. I'm not naive. I know what the popular/canon version of the game is, but If the dev provides a different option for players like me then don't let that incest dialogue creep through. However it's just one scene and no game is perfect so I let it go.

In any event for me, incest (whether in real life or a vn) never makes sense, so playing with a patch is just not going to happen. Also even the best of games will have some things that just don't work or work as well as they should.

Glad to see the new update coming out on Steam. The menu looks amazing now and some of the new QoL changes are welcome. Sad that I have to start over all my paths but it's alright, the game is worth playing, I can't wait to see what's next in this new chapter.

Yes, you need to go to options then turn on "alternative script".
