Honesty I think step mother works better than actual mother. I can’t see Sue all of a sudden finding her birth son super attractive and fantasising about him even with Lucia doing an Erebus and corrupting her from the shadows.
Step Mother feels a lot more reasonable imo. But that’s just me.
I agree here. I don't like incestuous theme past a certain line. No extreme views about it. Just MotherXSon doesn't float my boat.
That being said, this game is one of those unique ones where, story wise speaking, it doesn't work if Sue isn't holding the Mom role. Even though I changed Sue's role to Aunt and Randal's to nephew, as the game progressed, it became increasingly clear that the developer envisioned this as a mother and son scenario. You continuously get the feeling that Randal's Dad had a pivotal role in both of their lives. Something that doesn't work if the relationship wasn't direct.
Still, you don't call your step mom... well "Step mom", when interacting with her. So I guess I'm still fine with the Aunt angle.
Other than that, I really like how this game handles choices. Even if you are mix matching stuff, the game respects them well. You don't want that bastard Max to lay hands on her, but still explore her sexuality? Sure, go ahead. Kick the dick to the curb. It still derps a bit every now and then, presuming events to have happened even when they were linked to choices that I didn't pick. But, nothing deal breaking except for stray dialogues.
Overall, good stuff. Dom route is my favorite. Especially bringing Lucia to heel and then adding a touch of romance was nice. Still playing other routes as well for curiosity sake. Can't figure out how to get Theo's garden scenes though
