Just a question
@Jcj, is the only option to avoid getting the niece hired by Mr. Silver, is by sending her home via train or are there other options? I mean, if you opt for this option she meets the bartender/laundry guy and once you meet her home, and try to speak with her she is mad and the game goes on loop, restarting to the point of Mr. Silver at his office.
Besides my other concern is, even if you play the "good guy/uncle" (rack on some fp and some lp) and you take your niece with you to Mr. Silver's office she accepts the job, and when she announces it to you, and you try to warn her about Mr.Silver you immediately get a game-over, I feel it doesn't make much sense, does it?
EDIT: ways to avoid the situation with Mr. Silver and the niece are apparently being worked/discussed, so these concerns are moot at the moment.
