The volume controls are part of the standard Ren'Py UI and aren't necessarily indicative of the VN having SFX/music. It's up to the dev to decide whether their game will have sound or not. Some don't, some do.

Yes, that's very common.
There are a few out there that have audio, but most do not.

Remember in Back to the Future when Marty McFly went back in time to the 1950's and met his mother? Didn't young her (mother) come on to him (son)? She raised him and he reflected much of her values taught to him as a child therefore when she met Marty with no context she was attracted to him.
That was kind of fucked up for Robert Zemeckis to include in the film.
Wonder if he was a $20 tier DMD patreon (pure speculation with no basis)?
Some interesting background reading RE: the fact that D and MC didn't spend her childhood together in a parental relationship.

That concept is by no means universally accepted in psychology, but it's at least interesting and relevant.

Yes, I actually referenced GSA some time back in this thread. It's not been studied well, so there's no solid idea on it's likelihood to occur, contributing factors (physiological, cultural), etc. in cases where children and their parents meet as adults after a long separation. But, it's fine for an adults-only VN, I figure.
And, it doesn't answer the point I raised, I feel: GSA applicability or not, there has still been a power imbalance since the first day of DMD. I realize this isn't meant to be a psychological study, but as D gains more experience and variety in her life she's naturally comprehending more of the world previously fed to her on a platter - both by her mother (very narrow) and her father (wider, but still mostly from his perspective). In a general sense, it's reasonable for her to not only surpass his anticipated scope in terms of her future outlook, but she may find herself revisiting the underpinnings of their relationship as part of her natural desire to learn more about herself and her options going forward. That could be very interesting.
I'm not sure there really is that much of a power imbalance though, it's there? She's grateful and excited to finally be meeting her father but I don't recall her ever really deferring to him as an authority figure. In fact I'd say there's less of a power dynamic here than there is between Melody and the NC in her game.
I think at most, the relationship with D and MC is similar to a landlord and tenant. She's reliant upon him for a place to live and that in and of itself creates a certain dynamic, but in not sure it goes much further than that

Then DMD's dev. would have shot himself that Zemeckis' movie, I have to guess.
With best regards.

if you mean meeting her on nude beach then nothing besides getting her autograph until dev decides to add her into harem pool (3some with f, k and d or 4some with f, g, k and d).Right indeed, just those ones were the missing in the game. What do we do with Koko?
With best regards.

Maybe that was the genesis of the conspiracy - the cow that kicked over the lantern.

Agree totally.
I wanted to push some darker elements related to her childhood and Rachel sluffing her of into a sound proof room. That would result in a personal bondage/control fetish particular to D. That will not happen n DMD, and D will run the of a path like a Disney Princess - in that all dangers are ultimately temporary and she ends the VN with an unscarred psyche.
(Melody moves away rom this and the next VN... I can only hope we have edgy moments...)
