uhhhh if no incest tag there won't be incest unless the dev says its going to be a thing. How do you get hooked? Did you not read the tag list?

Well, it says "Family" like, in the name...
But I seriously recall it having an incest tag years ago (I may be wrong), and I definitely saw other games that didn't have the tag but had incest patches. And that's WITHOUT having "Family" in the title.

No, there has never been incest anywhere in this game and tags are being set either by the OP poster or forum staff, so they are often wrong and go against what the author has said and confirmed.Well, it says "Family" like, in the name...

But you might be confusing the main game with the Scenes That Didn't Happen.
Sometimes the word is just a word, without double meanings or winking. Definitely not a "misleading advertisement", but a descriptive word for the actual set of characters in the game.

Perhaps you should consider the fact that a good portion of the game surrounds the cops and their victims. This was particularly the case when JohnCBB and I started the project, although things have drifted away from that somewhat over the years I've been working on it alone.
Now, let's see, who did the cops go after or threaten to go after?
They included Parker's...
mother,
best friend and girlfriend,
and people he doesn't know.
Maybe that explains the title?

That does explain your thinking at the time quite well. But you have to admit that not everyone is privy to your thought process, and could easily misunderstand the title, even after starting the game.
Whatever the title, I enjoy what you have provided for us.

Yes, if you're the type of person who desperately looks for incest in every project you play.
It just gets tiring going through the same set of "why doesn't this project have A, why doesn't this project have B, when is X going to Y" over and over and over again from people who don't look at the tags, don't read the FAQ in the OP, etc., etc., etc.
I honestly don't give an F what you think of the title. The game is awesome, that it isn't perfectly in line with what you want? Get bent.

I read the original story, you definitely deviated away from that ending! Your story is much better.

Here's a paradox for you: I love incest games, I love your game.
Please don't lump me in with those who despair because there is no incest in your game. I was just trying to give an explanation of why some were disappointed about the complete lack of incest, and why they might have thought there would be.
As for tags, I can point to countless games where fetishes were added to games, when the tags for them were not there. Especially when one considers F95's tag rules which insist that tags only apply to what is in the game NOW.
At any rate, I don't wish to continue arguing with a developer whose game I like.
Peace.

How on earth did you get that out of what I posted? As a matter of fact, I like this game a lot in its current form and look forward to each new release.
Perhaps a reading comprehension course might be in order for you.

Please keep the discussion here civil. (And thanks for the "awesome.")

Glad you're enjoying it.
From the beginning, JohnCBB and I had no intention of simply recreating his Literotica text. This was always intended to be a "based on," but to go in a different direction. Much of the story arc that's not yet complete was based on where John wanted to go (although I've added a lot). The other arc was much more "me."

I don't consider that a paradox - you can love apples and also love oranges. You don't have to be a one-fruit person. But there are a lot of people who take the "if it doesn't have apples, it's crap" point of view, and dump all over developers who decide not to include red fruit. I'm sure that you understand that, as someone who's trying to tell the story he wants to tell, it can get wearing at times.
Your point about tags is well taken, of course. On the other hand, the number of people who ignore them and the content of the OP is staggering. I hate to think how many times in this thread people complained that there were no choices, or asked whether they could avoid choices, when the OP clearly stated that the project was a kinetic novel. Hence some of the snarkiness that's now built into the OP. LOL
And, apologies. I probably shouldn't have come across as harshly as my response probably did - I was having a bad day, and kind of snapped. "I'm better now."

I have been with this game for a while and have subbed on an off. I was thrilled to see it updated - and subbed again to get it. It appears to be at a crossroads in the story and not sure where the Dev is going to take it now. It seems ripe for some girlfriend revenge cheating or possibly getting looped into the scam with the police unbeknownst to the MC. That would be quite...titillating and karma for the MC who is a bit of a wanker. But I digest...it is the Dev's vision. Just interested to see where it goes from here.

I'm sure your bowels will be elated in a while.
Not nearly enough content to justify subbing. Path B, which was the interesting path, was finished over 2 years ago. 3 updates per year on Path A, which barely have any content. This update was like a 10-15 minute read.
Yeah g'day John&Rich, the last episode seemed it indicate that the story had finished as you had wrapped up the loose ends. I am very pleased to see the story continue and look forward to seeing just where Mom and MC and their intimate friends travel to. Thanks for your wildly unique Visual Novel, who would have thought bent coppers could be so evil, however the story showed, stupidity is ultimately rewarded.

here is my unofficial Android port of Family, Friends And Strangers v2024.10.
from now on my Android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like Windows. if you uninstall an app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore the app needs the permission to access the public external storage (or a new one on Android 11+), because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.
have fun and please report problems (you can reach me
