Yeah, I don't think Kinky honestly expected people to love the prologue as much as they did. It was obviously a pleasant surprise that it was so well received but the game prior to the prologue was just the sex scene with Danna in the bed room (iirc, it's been awhile) and then he had the idea for the prologue and created that. It was really well done and impressed a lot of people, but then what does he do? Scrap the main story and not have the flashback be a flashback? He has a plan and is going to follow it, and Danna has fans who are very happy with the story he is writing.I completely agree with you. The best characters of the game were in the prologue. The prologue also had the best story arch. The lady cop made the game interesting and then we have that good love story with the agony and reconciliation.
Then it all comes crashing down with the time jump and the new girlfriend the story became all disjointed and bland. That basically completely pulled me out of the story and all I could think about, like you said, was getting back to Rachel. Which apparently isn't going to happen until the MC is old, I guess?
The prologue was like I was sailing in my boat with a good wind behind me really enjoying myself then all of the sudden the wind just dies and I am dead in the water then along comes a barge and runs my ass over and now I'm dead and all the joy and intrigue is gone.
As I am no longer the proofreader and haven't talked to Kinky in awhile I honestly don't know if there is a plan to see those characters soon or at all. I always took the prologue as a way to set the scene, show where the MC came from, and to some extent how he became the man he is now. Doesn't stop me from holding out hope that we'll get to see Rachel and/or Alex again someday.
