You know? maybe I shouldn't play so many games at once but something downed on me.
What if the publisher is the chief of The Order and during the "revealing outfit scene" he did something to Mom? What if he's like the guy-with-shades from the game "Catherine"? After all we have spells, dreamwalkers and apparitions...
MC's father wants to send our guy to military camp, isn't that what Eric tried to do in BB? what if it's the same person and his sudden illness was a kind of sex addiction?
What if romancing Tracy is the only way to b reak the order's influence on Tracy? And what if it's Alice that betrays the MC? She's the one with genuine love&lust for the MC,what if someone convinces her that she will be able to be in an offiicial relationship with the MC, secret societies after all often meddle in what's socialy acceptable
