Hard not to wonder if he was abusing the female protagonist as well. When she argues how young her sister is, it made me think that she had been older when first abused. I played as her on my second run-through, so I was prepared for the shock. When I played as John, it hit me so hard I just sat in front of the computer crying for some time.
Sigh. This topic can't help but make me think of a woman I know who, as a teenager, was raped by her drunken uncle because she intervened to protect her grandmother (his mother) from that fate.
Needless to say, she will never play this game.
