I don't think "Have you met Ian's mom?" is a legitimate quest for information. I read it as a facetious, rhetorical question meant to rebut the other speaker's viewpoint or suggestion about Grace with incredulity. A slightly more specific example: Edwin says there is a problem with Grace that demands attention, to which Mina suggests ignoring it, with Edwin replying "Have you met Ian's mom?"
Bingo.

I was gonna give it another couple days before pointing that out, since it was generating some discussion.

Also who keeps leaking the script?

About Edwin left hand, am I the only one who think: «We will discover what has happened, when the next release will be released, so why should I bother for an explanation now?»?

I don't think it's Edwin. They're in Mina's apartment, and Edwin usually wears his father's watch when he's outside and "dressed".
It IS Edwin. No other character has a POV cam like this. And it looks like his appartment. But if it's Mina's, he could have come more casually without wearing his watch. Furthermore he has a bandage on his hand.

By that logic why even talk about the upcoming update at all? We'll discover what happens when it releases, so no point in having a discussion right? :whistle:

That's a very sensible explanation, though with one caveat: referring to her as "Ian's mom" in a follow-up in discussion which is already about her feels somewhat off. "Have you met Grace?" or even "Have you met her?" would be a more natural way to refer to someone when both of you already know who's the person in question.

But maybe that's just tweak for the sake of the preview. Or it's originally about Ian and it only just moved onto topic of his mom.
Just because Mina knows her name doesn't mean she doesn't refer to her as Ian's mom. Remember that Mina barely knows her and she admitted that Grace "scares" her.

Also, considering it's probably Edwin asking her that in a rethorical tone and what he will probably learn from Vicky after she tells him that she tried to blackmail her I doubt Edwin is on good terms with her to call her by name.

I meant the flow in theoretical discussion that's happening between those two:

Edwin: Ian's mom is giving me trouble.
Mina: Can't you maybe patch it up? [or whatever response she'd give to that]
Edwin: Have you met Ian's mom?

Perhaps it's just me, but the repetition of what's a bit of a mouthful at this point feels somewhat awkward and artificial. "Have you met her?" would be more natural way to refer to someone in dialogue, when their identity is known to both persons involved.

In this context, the repetition reinforces the special nature of the person in question, and carries an implied meaning beyond describing familial relations.

Grace becomes "Ian's mom" the same way your superior in a crime organisation might always be "The Boss".

You could do with "her" in a play or screenplay, with the expectation that the actor would modulate their delivery to convey the same idea without resorting to overt repetition, but that's not gonna work in writing without an external narrator voice.

??? The game already has a gallery.
Obviously meant a gallery unlocker mod, not everyone wants to have to replay multiple saves just to unlock all the scenes for each path. And this is an actual question tho, do any gallery unlockers for this game even exist? The walkthrough mod is solid but the one that had a galler unlock feature doesn't update and I wanna see all the scenes without making multiple playthroughs.

I liked Andrea scene, and I'd love to see more scenes with the workers, especially Dalia.

Dalia is my favorite looking girl of this game
When it comes to the housegirls, my favourites are in no particular order: Dalia, Andrea, Cassandra and Lucy.:)
