If by "it" you mean this update specifically, then yes it is, a personal tragedy in the author's family, one that is very emotionally wrenching (and on a very personal level for me), though Drifty assures us that we haven't seen the last of a certain someone.
I'm speechless. Dazed as well. The story, the medium, the boundries...

Yeah, it's taken me a full day to be able to write down how I felt. As I mentioned, this update had a very personal meaning to me. I won't go into details, but our family suffered a somewhat similar, and very sudden, loss (though different cause) many years ago when my sister passed. I was 17, she was 13. In addition to dealing with my own grief, I had to watch what it did to Mom and Dad. Some of that pain is still there, almost 50 years later. Life is never fair, but there is something so terribly unfair about a parent losing a child.

I can't imagine how Drifty feels. :(

Man that last sentence made me cry my eyes out. Drifty you are one hell of a courgeous person and I can assure you that the story you're writing won't fade away from memories fast. Thank you

I agree. I get it people came for the porn so a warning is necessary but one at the begining of the game should be enough. Imagine if we have such a warning screen in a movie before an emotional scene
You get a warning that this game contains +18 content. The subject that has been touched upon in this last update goes beyond that. People that have gone through this in whatever form might not want to relive these emotions

Ahm. It's not partially based on a true story, is it?
Drifty have said multiple times that it's inspired by a real person (which turned out to be his daughter). But no, that real life daughter isn't in the story. The way I interpret that is that while the pain and suffering from depression happened to someone close to him, Cece is very different from his daughter.

Thank you all for you comments and reactions to the chapter.

I do understand that for some, the ending of this chapter might seem like a way to step on your toes and ruin your weekend.

Unfortunately, writing a story that is not all wholesome all the time will leave you that follow me on this journey with cliffhangers that will take me months of development to give you the continuation to. As opposed to you reading the completed story at a later point, where you can just spacebar to the next (very wholesome) part.

I will make it up to you, that's a promise. Just give me a few months.

Also, to make it very clear. That someone who inspired me to write this story is not in the story by any means.

Cheers, everyone. And stay safe out there.

During the back massage. She talks about whoever's path you are on.
OK, just saw it. That definitely looks like Linda in the background when Cece is telling you "But ended up ruining it instead." But she is in front of that bus stop, so who knows.

Drifty likes to drag red herrings in our paths, so I'll reserve judgement for now.

I am so envious of those of you who manage to have gotten to the end of Chapter 6... I'm stuck at the beginning of Chapter 4 when I have to admit to myself which path to choose... it's like I'm stumbling around cluelessly more than a leap of faith.

EDIT... and then I saw Holly... James to Holly: "I'm conflicted (*thinks Wow. You are just... wow). Damn this game.

It's not Linda. It's Cece. That's supposed to be a flashback to the day when you first met her standing alone at the bus stop.

I'm literally crying my eyes out 12:00 at night. 2021 has been a fucking shitty year for me. Lost both my parents within a month. Last month my son's friend since they were 2 years old, that he's known for 18 years, committed suicide.

They grew apart a bit during High School (went to different schools), but still kept in touch. He had a full young life. Doing art, studying architecture, excelled in sport, had tons of wild outdoor hobbies plenty of friends....but still.

DriftyGames I'm not sure if I'm jumping to conclusions, but my heart goes out to you. Having experienced a lot of sorrow myself this year, I'm grateful to still have my 2 sons. My heart truly goes out to you. I know it's against Covid regulations but here's some hugs for you.

Very courageous of you to tell this story and I for one is truly glad to have played it so far. All the best.

(If I jumped to the wrong conclusion, just slap me silly. It was meant sincerely!)

OK, looking at it again, that does look more like Cece than Linda at least.

But the question remains, given how she was dressed and what she said...... WTF is my sweet LI Linda doing? That's my waifu! Guess I'll find out eventually.

It's going to be a good few months until the next update. Look at end of this year or early next.
