It's a pity that Lora couldn't find a career doing photography. Rejection after rejection, until she just had to give it up. Like, it was a hobby for her, and she tried to use it to reclaim her life, away from the grandma and her too-controlling husband (the grandma's son). But, it doesn't seem like it worked out for her. Or worked out how she'd imagined it would when she escaped from that situation.

I'd really like it if we get to see her holding a camera again. Perhaps she does, anyway. Perhaps she's gotten back into that kind of thing later in life. But if not, then I'd really like the MC to encourage her back into it. Since they're both artists, her photography, him painting, maybe just being around him again will bring her back to her hobby again. Or, maybe she gets an opportunity to turn it commercial. I just think it'd be interesting if we get to see her take up photography again, in some capacity.

I was thinking about this last night. It's not something crucial to the story. It's just a pity she had to give up her dream to do something with her love of photography.
I'd like to think she didn't give up photography but instead of doing normal photography she was hired by an adult movies company to do photography for them and couldn't tell her son about it. I know the general theory atm is she became an escort girl and it makes sense more than the adult photographer but I hope that's not the case.

tg, Lora is too pretty, and too sexy, to be a professional photographer. Photography is a man's profession, and requires a man's view of the subject.
Lora isn't the typical pretty woman that follows the norm as she left a very luxuries life behind to pursue her dream even though things didn't work as she hoped in the end.

Xumeey, I agree with You that lora is not a typical woman. The fact that she left her only son for something is enough. In real life, I can't recall more than 2 instances of this behavior.

Maybe that's not quite what happened though. It'll be a while before we learn what really happened, I guess. But we hear that he stayed with "Aunt Jill" for a while. Not back at the grandma's, but with another relative. So, I think more than likely, he was placed there because he couldn't handle his mom marrying again. Maybe he was at an age where he was getting just too upset over that idea, so she just had to put him with Aunt Jill to keep him safe, while she worked out... whatever she was doing.

I mean, maybe she didn't leave him, but the impression we get is similar: he feels abandoned, and this is what he tells of it. It's maybe not the full story though, and it's just what we're hearing from his side. I do hope the story is pretty complex like that. He said, she said, and it's up to the player to make sense of it all.

tg, whatever the real reason for leaving, Lora traumatized her son. All the more, that between them were relations much meaningful, than between mother and son.

Yeah, you have a good point. The MC comes into this game with very strong resentment towards her. No question about that.

But, I like stories where it starts off one way, only to flip when something is revealed. But, it's a game too, so there should still be a story there, even if you decide he should still hold the grudge. You play it that way one time, and then you play it another time (where he decides to forgive and forget) and you end up somewhere else.

I could easily think that if you do make your sister your slave, then you could make your mom do this and that too, with the right options. That's not really how I see their relationship though. I see that the slave stuff is more of play, and what the actual story is, is much softer. But, we'll have to see where it all goes.

I think it's still valid to have the MC hold his gudge though, as you say. Teens being teens, I'm just thinking it's probably not as bad as he remembers it to be. Or maybe it was, but it's nothing that can't be remedied. I like what Lora has to say on her way out. Coming back to the promise. Wanting to know if there's still a chance for her to come back into his life. I like that above all.

tg, your observation is correct. I think MC struggles with two different desires. The first: to remain principled, and not forgive betrayal mothers. Second, a great desire to return to the blessed moment when they were close with their mother. As many have suggested, the author is from Russia, and Russians have a saying. It sounds something like this: you Can not go twice in the same river. I mean, you can't go back to a relationship that's been broken. Will the author try to refute it? In General, the script is full of drama, again as in a good Japanese hentai. It's not like "Big Brother" and all the other incest games that come down to lust. I hope the author has enough talent to continue this game at a high literary level.

One thing I really like about the game is the music selection. Like, it's not fancy or anything. But, what's there is nice. I especially like the reminiscent music that accompanies the sketchbook scenes. It suits them so well, so I hope ttll doesn't change it to some thing else. I like that it's recurring, meaning you get to hear it on each and every one of those scenes.

I think in the future, the "past" will eventually come to an end in that sketchbook (not to suggest more memories of that time couldn't be invented if there's demand), but when the original, erased and scribbled-over sketches are all recovered, it will probably be time for those blank pages to be filled with /new content/. Meaning, pictures and perhaps scenes that happen with the mom, in the present time. That would be pretty great, if it turns out that way.

I guess, since the game is still in heavy development, more and more of those scribbled-out pictures could be found. So, we'll see. But I definitely would think it'd be hot if the untouched pages got filled in with what comes next, whatever that is. Oh, but I think that sketchbook should only hold the mom's images. Not images of the other girls he comes into contact with. Normal canvas is good for them. The sketchbook should remain special to only her and him...

Yes, the album is extremely personal, MC and his mum. All the more this mom's gift. And note, after the departure of my mother, MC album is not thrown away. It shows that he still loves his mother no matter what. Maybe because she was his mother. Maybe because she was his first woman. As they say: famously twisted plot.(y)

So, anyone know what the story is with Lora's ring? Like, at the end of ep1, we see it there on her finger, suggesting she's married.

But, when she plays with the phone in ep2, there's no sign of the ring. It's the same finger. So, was it just a mistake for that shot? Or a new direction, where there' no off-screen marriage? Was there any discussion about it? Or does no one know?

That's interesting, maybe ttll decided Lora didn't remarry because of the worry of NTR. You know how people get with NTR.

tg, about the ring. Many women wear this ring for status. A lot of people wear them so they don't get molested. But I like Freud's theory better. Learning that her son is not married, she took off the ring, in order to show her son that she is free. And she wants to resume the interrupted childhood relationship. But, that have author on mind, only God knows.

Huh, the more you know! Yeah, it seems Russians do put wedding rings on their right hands. So, given this, I guess that right on her left hand doesn't mean anything, or could be to say she's divorced as you say.

I looked it up, and a ring on the left hand doesn't mean much. But, yeah, I'm not Russian, so I'll take your word for it. Thanks.

Friends. The action takes place not in Russia. And the characters are not Russian. So your ring theory is wrong.:)
Truth be known, I'd actually like her to be remarried, since that would lead to quite a bit of mischief and drama. If she's single and available, it makes it all easy and boring. But, I like your attitude, Kai. So, we'll both hold out hope and check back when we know which way the dev is gonna jump with that stuff...

tg, if mother will married, then son hardly will to intervene in another family. The reason is simple. He suffered a psychological trauma himself. And people who've been through this, they won't hurt other people. Truth, this only my glance on life.

Well... maybe, maybe not. Since, like if you do phone-chat with Sheila, you get the option to play with her about fucking next to her family and stuff. Not to suggest that's what you'll end up doing. But, it's enough to feed into that woman's fantasy and make it hot. So, I'm thinking the MC isn't above interfering in other people's family's.

I think aspects of NTR was brought into the game for this and that reason. Even Kelly's stuff involves her family, and playing with her mom and sister. You might be right about the MC being too psychologically damaged to want to mess with his mom again, like you mentioned before. But, I don't quite see the MC that way. And, if she were married, if it's an option, I'd certainly get him in there cheating with her. Or, she'd be cheating, and possibly the MC would be "cheating" on Kelly or Lindsey or whoever. I don't mind that kind of cheating.

But, I see your point. Who knows what ttll really has in mind for the story. I just hope it's something extraordinary, since that will keep my interest in it.
