So finished my first play through, yeah that felt like a waste of time. I actually don't think conceptually the characters are too bad, though they are pretty trope-y. At first I liked that the Dad wasn't the creeper that most other ones are in games like this. That didn't last, because he's actually a creeper in violent denial and just not likable in the least. I mean I find Max from BB more likable than this guy, and that should never happen, but at least Max is honest about what he wants. The Dad here just spends 90% of the game bitching about life and doing very little about it. He has a grand total of one decent scene, and that's when Karen breaks down. He actually kinda felt like a human there.
Beyond that, the lack of sexy shit on the Dad after a bunch of updates doesn't seem like much is gonna happen. I'll try the brother and see if that is better. It would kinda have to be.
One thing that bothers me that is separate from the story is the angles in the CG. SO MANY DUTCH angles, nothing quite feels right. Weird close ups and other stuff hurt too.
