I'm not being unfair, the dev has done this before where the daughter keeps coming off as mentally unhinged. It wasn't well received originally and it's still not being well received. He had things set up with the last update where her corruption should have continued to progress further, then tries to add in a more convoluted plot that just falls flat on it's face. If the dev could implement the story in that regard where it's better received, that wouldn't be the case. She finds out about the pamphlet? Then just loses her shit and instead of trying to commit suicide this time, she tries to commit murder? Unless the dev is making her character out as a psycho, it's just out of left field, it makes zero sense to do that at this point in the game once again.
Of course it's not going to be well received by a lot of the more vocal people that post on this forum, and who have a fragile expectations tendency to go looking to jump off nearest bridge the moment any game attempts to stray off the simplistic minded and cookie cutter "I'm irresistibly perfect and everybody wants me, yay!" path. The moment you enter the flawed MC aspect and it became clear that the dad's dick alone wasn't going to enough to "organically" (*eye roll* here btw) morph the D into a subtlety submissive pleasure bot who without question borderline worships you as the perfect center to their universe......yeah, the game and story was going to go to crap for a lot of those people.
Personally, I'm applauding the dev here from straying off that beaten and milked to death path in the name of writing a more unique story. Even if it means losing a few vocal patreons (or the ones that pop into every thread only claiming they are or would be in the attempt to better sell their displease at any said straying of the above). Out of the countless father/daughter incest theme games I've played I also think it's probably the best written one of the bunch as well from an actual human themed standpoint. With the presented character flaws in this, right on down to the choice to make the 40 year MC dad not be a perfect genetic specimen, playing a big role in that. Give me some of these suspended belief aspects written in here over the standard 'nobody actually ends up being F you pissed you are literally screwing everybody and their mothers around them" stuff every time.
And while you slam the D's character as being unhinged, while ignoring the fact those suicide attempts don't really happen within the actual game that continues (they just exist as an early game over mechanic...in a game), I also find her to be the most well written and authentic feeling one of the bunch. Given the actual scenario of being stranded on a desert island and having just screwed her father, that her initial reaction was to flip out after reading the pamphlet and even to the extent she fired the gun in what seems a lot better interpreted as a pissed off "get the F away from me" warning shot then "attempted murder"? I personally loved it and felt it just better added and sold the mood impact the surrounding plot turn was **supposed** to have on the story.
Really digging the growing Lost vibe here too. Although i might be biased there since that was one of my favorite shows of all time. Just hope it doesn't tie everything up at the end in the same way that did
