Made an incest patch, maybe somebody will be interested.
version: tested with [v0.9]
feature: Eng only. Makes Rachel mc's mother and Ellie mc's sister instead of half-sister.
pc install: Unzip to the "game" folder.

notes:
I might have missed something, if you spot any lines with the old or new content that should be changed, let me know(preferably with a description of the scene and line text, a screenshot would also help).
This patch should be compatible with future versions(unless the dev changes the code).

This patch "make" Rachel the mother of the MC, and Ellie her sister.

The reason why lot of people say it ruin the game, and they are right, is because it doesn't make sens with the setup of the story.
Rachel isn't the "landlady" of the MC, she is the girlfriend of the MC's father after the death of her (or his for those who have bad taste and play a male MC :p) own mother.
Ellie is the daughter of Rachel and MC's father. So she is MC half-sister.
Trying to make Rachel the mother of the MC, and Ellie her sister don't fit at all.
It will need more than just changing a few words. It will require to rewrite some significant parts of the story, and probably some new renders. In short, to create a different game.

Isn't a bit too harsh? I still like the game, even with the patch.

No one is saying you can't like it.

But if someone was interested in the story as in STORY, the patch is detrimental for most.

If you want to look at the images and imagine they are all blood-related, the patch doesn't ruin anything - but then, you could imagine that regardless ...

If you are interested in stories that are more than your minimum porn plot, most people find the patch completely changing the dynamic and expected behaviors of the actors. Therefore changing the atmosphere, how the characters come across, based on their actions, based on the new family dynamics, and opening plot holes on the way - in one word, it lets the plot shine in a bad light and leaves bad memories.

"... even with the patch. " - imagine how much you might like the story without then. ;)
I like incest myself - but it is like a spice. Use it where it fits, and dishes with other spices taste great as well.

Perhaps, but honestly I don't know how making Rachel the real mom for the MC can work with the story.

During flashbacks, we learn that the MC's mother was the wife of the father, that she died, and that afterward MC's father had a new girlfriend, Rachel. And that they get Ellie together.
Also, at that time, Rachel was mean to the MC, because the father was abusive and violent. As a result Rachel had grudges against the MC.
I don't try the patch, but I can't see how all of that story can make sens if Rachel is the MC's mother.
You need to change the flashbacks, not just a few word.

I really don't see the point of the incest patch for this game either. I use them when it's obvious that they are meant to be used, in "landlady/roommate" games. Bad Memories isn't anything like that. The patch just makes things weird. (Or so I assume)

I am a hardcore fan of incest and I don't see the point in playing something in the wrong way just because you want more incest than it already has.

When I first got into AVNs a few years ago, it was probably the top tag I looked for. Now, I've seen just about everything and most of the games are pretty much the same. Now I usually only apply the i-patch if it makes sense in a story, (especially if it has cringe dialogues about landlords and landladies). For Bad Memories, I'm happy with the scenario as is written by the dev.

well ic-patches tend to screw up story by adding something which wasn't devs intention.

Most landladies and stuff games are made to have an incest patch, let's not fool ourselves either. Another thing is that in most of those games the writing sucks lol.
