It's definitely extreme, but I don't think it's crazy. How else can it end for someone who has sex with their children, possibly students, and has been fully corrupted? She can't just go back to a normal life. She can't be a wife or mother because Liam will leave her and she won't be allowed near her children. L&P is trying really hard to make a "realistic" game, and he's taking the idea of incest very seriously. I think too many games throw it around lightly, but AWAM seems to be treating it with the weight that it deserves.
For me the problem of this game is that it’s trying to be “realistic”, but it’s still have to stay enjoyable.
In real life, incest happens in family with low iq, secluded, that have some addiction to alcohol or drugs . Most of the time it’s an uncle, a cousin or a grandpa forcing himself on a young kid .
The only testimony I heard from a guy who had “sex” with his mother was of someone who was beaten, rape and treated less than a worm by said mother.
Ok. But what about the royal families of Europe ? They have engaged in incest relationship for centuries after all.
Yes, exactly. They have been doing it for centuries. Nothing strange at all for them.
Why do they do that ? To preserve their bloodline.
What the common point between all those situations and the story of AWAM? Nothing.
Why ? Because who would want to read the story of an alcoholic mother beating the crap out of her children while forcing herself on them...
So here we are in AWAM with a super sexy mother , well educated ,smart ( unless a certain situation needs to happen in the plot and she’s suddenly super dumb) , married for 20 years with what appears to be an almost perfect life, super conservative on the sexual side.
Wow. There is no way she would engage in anything incestual with that kind of background. Some crazy shit must have happened for it to be remotely realistic...
“Mom , I don’t have a girlfriend, I don’t know how to speak to women... can you show me your boobs ?
“What ?! No I can’t do that... I’m sorry but a mother is not supposed to show her boobs to her son. I’m really sorry...
“Dylan sad ”
“Oh my god!!! My son is sad!!! I will now engage in perfectly realistic situations with him...
Like : “ Can I feel the fabric of your bra?”
Or “My son just grabbed my ass ... I wonder if that kind of behavior is normal... how should I know ? It’s not like I was a 37 old married woman, mother of 2 , a teacher of high school students... I have no idea what pass for acceptable in this world...”
But not just with Dylan, with Ellie too:
“Mom ! That’s not fair ! How come you have French-kissed Patricia and not me?!?”
“(I don’t know... maybe because I was drunk, playing a role, exhausted after a long day, and because I loose a bet...) your arguments have convinced me Ellie. Let’s kiss !”
Joking aside , why does Dylan act like what he do with his mom perfectly normal ?
Because who would enjoy a story with a son being weirded out by his own comportement, questioning what’s wrong with himself and falling in deep depression? Nah he’s just horny, that’s perfectly normal...
Why does the son is doing the “corruption ” and not the other way around ?
Because who would want to follow a crazy mom trying to fuck her own children with them being disgusted by her comportement ?
It’s much more enjoyable to have the underdog virgin son corrupting the mom . It’s more satisfying.
Why does Sophia accept so easily their demands and is so forgiving of any wrongdoing on their part ? Most mother would die for their children. It doesn’t mean that they would accept everything from them.
Does Sophia was supposed to have a 3rd Child and she lost it in a miscarriage ? Or maybe a terrible accident where both her children were between life and death ? Something to explain her attitude...
Nah she just “really love her children ” .
Why does Dylan has a dick twice the size of his dad?
Because who would want to follow a story where the husband has the biggest dick and the son can’t even satisfy her as well as him ?
It’s much more satisfying when the son will fuck his mom while Sophia will be thinking how much Dylan is bigger than is dad, how much better, how she can’t feel any satisfaction anymore from Liam ‘s dick, and bla-bla-bla...
Why does Dylan after the yoga event is thinking something like :
“ I know that it’s wrong but I would really like to have a threesome with mom and Patricia ”
The same Dylan who has masturbated multiple times to his mom, is constantly pursuing her to show him her boobs, has grabbed her ass (and boobs depending on your route) multiple times , has “surprised“ kiss her on the lips, used her feet to rub his dick, etc has suddenly some sort of morality, and apparently knows that what he’s thinking about is wrong.
Because it’s necessary that an author remind from time to time the audience that their characters have some doubts about their own actions or thought, but will follow their urges regardless of the consequences. Them braking their own taboos is much more satisfying.
And it doesn’t matter if those same characters have never expressed a shadow of a doubt or regret or normal sense of morality before.
And after all because that’s what the protagonist is supposed to say in those kind of game.
Alright my bath is cold, so let’s wrap things up.
For me, realistically speaking, Sophia/Dylan incest storyline should have stopped the moment Dylan grabbed Sophia ass on the swing.
If they end up fucking and if the game was realistic, even if they don’t get caught, there’s no way that Sophia would just have fond memories of the times where she was fucking her son , let alone leave the rest of her life with him. She should have some guilt, regret. Something like that would break her psyche , her sense of morality.
But does L&p want to end his game on a realistic note or an enjoyable one ?
