Not really, but you can make careful edits to some of the character files (MotherA and SisterA) to make it so.does an incest patch exist?
Aiko by default is the Stepmother and I think Kana can either be looked at (by default again) as Stepsister or even Half-Sister, unless those were changed.No, all relationships are as they were planned to be from the beginning. There is nothing to patch as nothing was changed.
I'm pretty sure the dev confirmed that was not the case here in this forum, but it has been a while. All I remember off the top of my head was discussion about people here working on changing the relations to full blood family and once or twice the topic of the original relations coming up. It was mentioned that this was how the dev has avoided a certain incest inquisition thus far, by not having violations to begin with. Keep in mind this game has been around since before that mess started.Not really, but you can make careful edits to some of the character files (MotherA and SisterA) to make it so.

Not from what I could tell. I could probably switch out the dialogue myself pretty quick if I knew exactly how I access the dialogue for editing and with what tools. I just haven't bothered because I'm a bit busy and I'm not sure if I can just go in with a text editor or if I need a separate tool to access the text. That and I'd only be able to do the English as I only know a few words in the other languages and only spoken, I don't know any of them in their written form as far as I'm aware. I'd have to look at the languages that are in to be sure.In the early 20's versions I had asked about that as I was working on cleaning up and translating dialog. It would have been fairly easy to do at that point as the only time the relationships were spelled out was during the introduction which most players skip anyway. Everywhere else it never really dwelled on whether they were blood relations or not except one of the advancement scenes with Sarah at the MC's house where they involved his mother and there was a bit of dialog there. I haven't checked lately but I doubt much has changed.

Yes, they have always been his stepmother and stepsister.I just opened up 0.37.1 and then the Girls Status panel.
It still says Aiko is Kei's Stepmother and Kana is his Stepsister.
So that's the game canon then. Perhaps I misunderstood your earlier post. That tends to happen.Yes, they have always been his stepmother and stepsister.
She is still the player's sister, so those questions still apply. Not to mention that relationship by marriage still legally qualifies a relationship between the player and Kana or Aiko as incest in most countries. No worries on misunderstandings, those are bound to happen on sites like this.So that's the game canon then. Perhaps I misunderstood your earlier post. That tends to happen.
It just sort of gets turned on its head during the game. Everyone assumes you're directly blood-related for whatever reason.
O/T: Every time Sarah says "Hi Kei! How's your sister?" I straight away think two things:
1) How does she know I'm boinking Kana, too?
2) Ask her yourself. You're stealing her underwear.

It varies, I'm mostly going by the laws of my own country, in which blood relation does not matter and a relationship between family members is considered incest either way, though some cases are allowed to an extent and those are usually more distant relatives. Brother and sister is definitely a big legal no no here. This does, of course, only apply to real people from a legal standpoint. My point, though, was that Kana is the player's sister regardless of whether she is directly blood related or just step family. The same goes for Aiko as his mother, which means the questions Squark posted still apply either way despite there not being and never having been a blood relation canonically.Some countries.
Believe the usual legal definition in Europe is:
Sexual intercourse between close family members in a downward or horizontal line on the family tree, or between an adult in a parental/supervisory role and a child. Additionally, sexual intercourse between brother and sister(by blood) if under the age of 18, is nonpunishable.
Certain countries take it a step further and has made all sexual interaction nonpunishable so long as all participants are over the age of 18.
Yes, it varies. That's why I replied(and didn't quote the rest of the post), since your first post claimed most, and not as you say now, your own country. The only part most countries agree on is the wrongness of a relationship between caretaker and child, though usually not in an incestual context but as abuse of authority.It varies, I'm mostly going by the laws of my own country, in which blood relation does not matter and a relationship between family members is considered incest either way.
True, for most it is the abuse of authority, but for some, and for the case between the player and his sister and mother, Kana and Aiko, it is actually the family ties themselves that is the issue mostly because of the problems that can happen should family members have a child together for real life situations. Not really sure the issue with fake depictions though I suppose it's probably in the same vain as other content that would be illegal in real life, such as loli. You know, the assertion that the fake depiction leads to someone doing it for real, which has been proven false yet is still very much alive and well within the minds of those against such depictions.Yes, it varies.

Thanks for chiming in, Daedolon. It's your story and you're entitled to tell it the way you want. I agree though, that it may be better left to the final build.And just to make it clear again. The game has always been about a step family. I never intended for Aiko and the MC to be blood related. It is not due to Patreon restrictions, it's simply because I made the story that way and it made more sense. The MC blood father got the glasses from Lily before the MC and used it himself on Aiko who then took care of the MC as her own son. It should be explained in the intro if I remember well.
It's possible to change the dialog to real incest of some players wants it but I'm afraid I won't do it myself since it doesn't really match the story I aimed for. But if any player/writer wishes to do edit the files himself, I have no problem with it. It might just be a pain in the ass to maintain between each version since all the files gets rewritten all the times. Maybe waiting for the full version to be out (still far away though)
I don't think a lot of people feel the need to add step- when talking about adoptive siblings, even when you know there's not much point in making the distinction in a normal conversation.Thanks for chiming in, Daedolon.

It still seems a little unusual that literally everybody sees them as blood relations. But I guess that was for easiness in reading's sake as well as sounding more natural in speech.
