Oh right, gritty realism is why we're here. I almost forgot this game was a realistic take on overcoming the statistical improbability of a mother having sex with both of her teen children.I'll say one thing about the .2 update (haven't played .25 yet) - I found the daughter swimming scene to be amazing. I know I won't have many fans here, but this scene was a good example of how the author sets up the player's perception (meta game) by showing you how he wants you to perceive the MC and how he wants you to see the way she perceives the characters around her. I also enjoy subtle interactions, so the daughter in skimpy suit was best eye candy of any game.
I could not agree with you more on where authors often go to extremes - there is a failure to hit the mark in a realistic sense. 2 games that in my opinion comes close are Depraved Awakening and DFD. DFD also hasn't crossed that mark, and is probably why it could still be interpreted as realistic. DA wins because there's no incest therefor you don't have to stretch your imagination to make it work.
This game (A Wife and Mother) is setting itself up in the Incest category about as well as I could imagine, to stay within the realm of realism. Have you even heard about a legitimate, successful incestous realationship in RL? How would you even perceive those people if you knew about it? This game is doing a damn good job of trying to stroke that threshhold of "how does this even come about?" This is where we are in these updates. I myself can't even ponder how the author is going to make this MC (intelligent, down to earth mostly, beautiful, has options, isn't emotionally scarred) fall into a true, realistic taboo trap. I'm so eager to see if he does this successfully. But for it to be successful, it cannot happen soon. Not where it's at currently.
Give us a break. The potential for the female MC having sex with underage teen characters was one of the *key* selling points of this VN.
Dev can't make up his mind though. Mixed statements from him about the taboo stuff, he's hinted he may cut out the incest path. He has to come clean with his patrons about what the damn game is about.
