A nice recap of the "legacy" version! One may add, esp. if you played the Xmas special too, a couple of things:
- Officially the love interests were not fixed, but with every update it became clearer that the absolute main routes were Dad-Daughter and Mom-Son. And e.g. the reconciliation route was abandoned quite early. The only alternate one which stayed to the end on the son route was with Mara.
- The Mom actively dislikes or even hates her daughter, part of the reason is that the daughter kept a close relationship with the Dad.
- The Xmas special and a newer update show quite clearly that the Dad-Daughter flirting has gone on for quite a time before the gamestory started. and while the scene was deliberately darkened by the Dev, the peck on the cheek by the daughter in the Cave scene, their shadows look far more like a love hug and french kiss.
-
- The Aunt has her own plans, is deep into shady deals and uses and abuses her daughter to further these plans.
- The son comes across, there are several strong hints, as rather psychotic, which might be one reason Act Two is like a fever dream.
- While the Dev made the game a blue ball simulator, the dreams, conversations and actions by the Dad-Daughter pair make it clear that they coming together is more a question of when, not if. Unfortunately Gumdrop was overcome by greed and so is stretching it out.
