Pardon my stupidity. TPoNR?
Yeah - The Point of No Return. So I quess it is not bad idea to link both games each other just for fun. A lot of players are unaware of similiarities in these games i quess. Larger content is more inspirational for dreaming - what bad and sexy things would happen if interactions were possible between characters in theses games. I like dreaming.
But for now i didnt tried yet the tool which is able to decompile files in python 3.9 environment. Unren 0.91 is unable to do this job. I'm busy now with developing my python tool for 2.7 version - for counting translation seen/unseen nodes in games and for looking for different paths in games - to print some stat info or generating walk-trough tips to file.
To do what i want - i dont have to decompile games however. Extracting translations nodes is possible from ast class in dev mode - just minor fixes are needed to adapt my tool to python 3.9 version - to run in both pythons. So i see you have 10k text nodes and 520k chars in your game. TPoNR at the other side have more than 100k text nodes but only just 20 k are unique - so both games are comparable in readable content size for now. I'm not going to public any patches without consent of both devs. It is just my idea for now. I'm sure it could be profitable for you both. Each game would gain a lot of extra context without any substantial additional work. And more players woud be more happy to following longer story together in both parts.

Thanks to all for the... "translation." LOL. I'll have to check that game out.

While you obviously and build your own tool if you want, you may want to look at this thread: https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-old-unren-forall-v8-7-unren-powershell-forall-v8-7.92717/
It's pretty up-to-date with Ren'py.

Is there any walkthrough?
Oh, come on! Have you actually read the OP? It starts with

Family, Friends and Strangers is an adult Kinetic Novel. (i.e. not a game). Please know the difference.
and the first item in the FAQ is

1. Why aren't there any choices?
SPOILER

Well, in fact, there is one choice in Chapter 9. But this was designed as a Kinetic Novel, not a game. If you don't know the difference, . So, there's no walk-through (because one isn't needed) and, with the exception of which fork you take in Chapter 9, you can't avoid any of the content.
Please get a clue!

Hey Rich,
Will you be willing to pick up an Abandoned game called The Runaway princess that got abandoned recently. That game had a lot of fan following.
BTW I love your work.

I don't know the game, so I have no idea if it's "my thing" or not. However, right now I've still got plenty of work to finish up FF&S, so there's no way this could happen in the short run.

Played this game years ago, just had a quick question, is there any fun times with mommy yet? The cops had a lot of fun with her, but does the boy get a chance??

Game since 2018 and still no vaginal sex tag ?
OK, OK, I've added it.

To be frank, I've mostly given up trying to play "tag wars" on this thread. The list of available tags has changed several times, and I consider the description in the OP a more meaningful intro to the game than a tag or three.

Agreed. I think all most folks need to do is consider where they are and what they're looking at. Some of the less popular fetishes might warrant a tag, but oral and vaginal sex are, any more, pretty much givens and should go the way of notices like "full, frontal nudity" and "X-rated." Kinda like the pictoral warnings to not put plastic bags over your head.

That's better, other people won't even bother opening the thread if they don't see that tag because they thought that it's not worth the time yet so that might help the game get more attention and add also animation tag, because some people preferred animation and won't waste their time on still images not knowing that this game has lot of animations

Ah, behold the curious case of the naysayers, those pitiful souls who, earlier in this thread, dared challenge the potential veracity of this magnum opus, claiming its core premise to be as unrealistic as a unicorn riding a rainbow. Oh, how they cower in the shadows of their own ignorance, unable to fathom the degree of prescience contained therein.

It is quite amusing, my esteemed Gentle Readers, to witness the audacity of these miscreants, who think themselves the arbiters of truth. Oh, but fear not, for we have a trump card to silence their foolish prattle! Prepare to witness a spectacle, a grand display of evidence that shall render their feeble arguments as irrelevant as yesterday's news.

Oh, the irony! They dare suggest that blue-shirted arbiters of the law, in this modern age, would never comport themselves in such a manner as I have described. Ha! Little do they know that fiction can weave a tapestry of reality so profound that even the boundaries of possibility tremble in its wake.

Surely, none of you, my dear Gentle Readers, would ever stoop to such ludicrous claims. For you are enlightened beings, capable of appreciating the artistry of a tale unshackled by the chains of conventional norms. But alas, the world is rife with skepticism, and so, we arm ourselves with Exhibit A, a weapon of irrefutable proof to thwart the feeble minds that may attempt to defile our literary masterpiece, and once more proving, far from the first time, that what one man can imagine, another may do.

While the author willingly concedes that certain individual scenes within this opus may have strained the boundaries of plausibility, this is, none the less, adult fiction, in which certain license is not only allowed, but expected.

Thus, without further ado, the aforementioned Exhibit A:

Where the Sheriff Is King, These Women Say He Coerced Them Into Sex

...
The woman said in an April court filing that, while chief deputy less than three years earlier, he had coerced her into a sexual relationship after she was arrested. Promising to use his influence in their rural community to keep her out of prison, she said, the lawman drove her to a hog farm to have sex in his patrol car on at least five occasions.
...
But an investigation by The New York Times and the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting at Mississippi Today, which included dozens of interviews and a review of court records and exclusively obtained internal documents, found that during his 11 years in office, Scott has repeatedly been accused of using the power of his position to harass women, coerce them into sex and retaliate against those who criticize him or allege abuse.

and


It continues, largely in the same vein as one might imagine, but one would expect the Discerning Reader to easily notice the similarities between this factual account and our fanciful one.

So, let the cynics take heed and retreat to their envious caves of skepticism, for this author has spoken.

Worked w a girl who liked to gab. One day she called out of work which was unusual for her but no biggy. Following day she comes in and was "off". She would later share that she was on a date at a bar and pretty quickly she realized it wasnt going to work out. Needless to say she had a few extra drinks to make it worth her time. Afterward she drives home and...woop, woop...police sirens. She smelled like a case of boos and the cop pulled her off to side off road for sobriety field test. She failed that and the breathalyzer. He began reading her the Miranda rights when she said she would do "anything".

I wasnt there so I dont know exactly how it went down but she wound up in the front seat of the car and sucked his dick. This was in 2018. Girl was pretty cute and loved to run her mouth but she was somewhat unsettled by the experience.

It definitely still happens.

I'm not sure who said it can't happen irl...I'm sure a cop can get sexual favors for turning a blind eye.

I think the woman should be more proactive and engaged in getting out of her predicament in this game. Like 100% of the h-games on this website regarding blackmail, women are reduced to mindless cock sleeves once the blackmailer plays his one card. Real women should think like real men: what would you do if a gross ass bitch like Melissa McCarthy blackmails you because she has dirt on your son? You would use every minute of the day to try to get out of the blackmail. Mom doesn't do that in this game.

In the article, it was hinted that the woman also responded to the cop's sexual advances. Eg, she knew her position and exploited it for her own gains. I like that kind of writing better because she shows, like real women, multi-conditionality.
