I never said anything was a dealbreaker, I just wanted to know about Martha, if I could play my playthrough the way I want to. I don't know where you get that from, I'm not a queerphobe and I don't have any other problems with anything or any other character exept from the situation with Martha.
As I said. After day 10, she will behave like you expect her to behave. After she and the MC talk, they will keep their distance (at least so much distance as with any other family member the MC isn't in a relationship with, remember there's a greet-with-kisses thing going on).

Let's be real:

1- The game allows you to choose what paths YOU the player opens.

2- The story is composed around a family, that love each other, and are close to each other, depending on YOUR choices, that closeness includes Sex :eek:

3- Refusing or simply ignoring their attempts at deeper closeness, is YOUR choice as a player, the characters know nothing about it. They will react to your behavior.

4- You are applying your expectations of behavior to the game, we are all sorry that you had to grow in such an emotional desert, but many of us had the marvelous childhood and Young Adult experience of being close to our Mothers, Sisters, Cousins, Aunts... With many Movie Nights, Beach and Pool play, Camping and more, so much more.

5- Except for the sex part, most of the interactions that are depicted in the game, are common. Really common. Families do touch each other, hugs are frequent, love languages include kissing, tenderness, touch, cooking, playing. And to be frank, in some cases, it even includes sex. :eek: I know, it's shocking... but, incest isn't a problem in many places around the world, in some cases it is permitted, in others it is simply absent from the legislation (except as an aggravating for rape). In others it has conditions, like no minors involved...

6- Your narrow views of family interactions are YOUR problem to solve or ignore, not the Dev, not the game and most certainly NOT us.

Identify, Adapt & Overcome. This is what you must do to your world views.

Peace :(
I'm close with my family, but like I said I have never met anyone as close as they show in the game. All the touching and kissing is what you do with kids, not adults.

Thank you. I just thought I had a simple question, never imagined it would turn out to be a whole ass discussion.

I guess cultural differences play a role here.
Besides sex among family members, I've seen every interaction between (adult) family members depicted in the game in real life. Between adults.
I didn't see sex among family members because I rejected it.
And I don't discard some of the people I've met in my life are having sex with their family members. I just don't know they are fucking their mothers/aunts/cousins/sisters. That doesn't mean they don't do it. But I live in a country where incest is 100% legal between consenting adults, so I guess the cultural differences play a role.

Yes, feel ya, for my german close friends it was strange to them to see how my Mother and me interacted, also the Interaction with my Stepfather (he is German) and my Father were different, with my Father we often hug or one of us put the arm protectively on the shoulders of the others (this last only in close family circle) till he passed away 12 years ago.

A sense of closeness should be demonstrated. The mere assumption that a family member knows about your feeling is usually not enough. This must be confirmed. Often. This is what feelings remains.

But not because YOU don't experience it that it's weird, wrong or whatever. For others, it's completely natural. What would you say if they judging you because they think you and your family are fucking weird for not doing it?

It's okay to don't like it, if you don't like it, move on with it, but don't make demands or judge for it.

If you really can't past that, then it's just not the game for you. Don't play and found another game you may like.

Oh is it ? Over here they didn't go that far with that, still a felony between directly blood related relatives. (Mom, Dad, sister, brother, Grandparents) never was penalized between Steps (called here political relatives).

I play it that way because of my fervent hope that MC can retire to Aruba with a whole army of Daphne clones. :love:
Don't tempt me :love: With my mind I'm already in Aruba and I'm suffering right now with the awareness than one day it will be over. Well, with a blasting ending... but still it will be over :cry: Such "summer" memories will never come back

The incest parts wasn't even part of the problem lol, I just saw Martha as a Mother figure and wanted her to stay just like that. However I do understand where you and everyone else is coming from, in my country incest in any form is 100% illegal. But the incest parts was never the problem.

Trying to imagine My Dorm where characters straight up disappear if you don't open their paths.

Would the chaste/monk run be like that "Garfield without Garfield" comic strip where it's just a bunch of shots of Jon by himself?

I never said it was weird or wrong, I just said how it was for me. I never demanded or judged anyone.
