And there are realistic VNs?
Sam is easily forgettable, but I'm also a bit ambivalent about solo endings. I'm honestly not sure how exactly Sophia ending up in a relationship with her own daughter but nobody else, if that is what will happen, would happen. Sure, some players can focus on her to the exclusion of all others, but I honestly find it harder to believe Sophia will have a solo relationship ending with her, or Dylan, or Sam, or Patricia, than her having an ending where she's in a relationship with her kids and a bit of Patricia on the side. Similarly, I can see endings where she remains faithful to Liam or breaks up with up with him for a relationship with Alyssa as being more likely than ending up in a serious committed relationship with Sam.
Sure, pretty much every game will have some sort of solo ending with characters who could be categorised as "main love interests", but this game sometimes feels like, to me, the solo paths, with the exception of Liam and Alyssa, do not seem particularly viable and may end up being more of a "summer fling" type deal that help Sophia to "get her groove back" in different ways.
