As much as I like this game, it'd be far more interesting without the dad. He's a black hole everything revolves around and I feel characters get worse when interacting with him. Everyone loses all agency due to him. Like, Elena is my favorite character in the game but she loses so much of what makes her good when interacting with the dad. She's this free independent incredibly manipulative girl who is bogging herself down with one guy who is fucking everything in sight. All her other routes seem to be closed off too. I'd love a spinoff about her in the country she and the daughter lived in.
