Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

Your math is pretty much in line with my own estimates (quoted below).

I think the photo is meant to appear aged or overexposed... I never owned a Polaroid camera myself but I've seen pictures like that.

I'm still convinced it's a cloning situation, new Annabelle just looks too similar to the original. You could chalk it up to the game's art style/aesthetic, but Ophelia's reaction makes me think the resemblance is too uncanny.

I suppose you're right. Cloning is probably the most likely (sci-fi) situation, although there is still a possibility that New Annabelle is the daughter of OG Annabelle. It wouldn't be the first time that mother and daughter look nearly identical. (It doesn't help that most of the women's faces in this game seem to be slightly modified versions of the same base Daz figure, except for maybe Catherine). We know that Hunter knows and has been making sure she was taken care of, so the likelihood of her being a bastard child of Annabelle and some other man is probably unlikely. Her being brought in "once minds were changed" indicates to me that she is someone he is proud of. Although I feel like it would've been hard to hide the pregnancy of a ~40 year old Annabelle who was probably also sick at the time. Hmm...

Well I guess that confirms New Annabelle is NOT OG Annabelle, seeing as there's no way she could look the same 40 years later. That also puts OG Annabelle's birthdate in the early 1960s, meaning she would've been around 40 when she died, and around 60 if she were still alive.
Also, it could just be the lighting/old photo, but her hair color looks different.

EDIT: I guess it doesn't totally CONFIRM it, unless we get into some weird sci-fi fuckery like holding people in stasis + memory wipes, or perhaps time travel or cloning. I kind of hope it doesn't go in that direction though.

While I am also less interested in over the top sci-fi, the game already has some level of science fiction with Sterling in a robots in chapter 12, a control chip in chapter 11, or even Ophelia situation in what if chapter 8.

Yes, but those examples were not a part of the main story, right? The fun "what could have been" kind of scenes. Has the dev used sci-fi elements canonically so far?

Correct, those were not canon.
I mean you could argue the effects of HGH might not be as realistic as what's depicted. Going back and looking at what Sterling looked like in episode 1 is mind-blowing. Scrawny little twig. Not to mention whatever mind-altering drugs Hunter is using. Not sure if something quite like that exists in the real world. Sure there are "aphrodisiacs," but I'm not sure they work to the extent they do in the game. Somewhat realistic, but amped wayyyy up.

How many chapters is the dev gonna make?

Actually stated? 13

Though word on the streets say that chapter 14 is up in the air.

And whats up with all this pregnancy stuff in the game?

I would say 14 is all but guaranteed. WWG himself said recently that 13 would be the last FULL chapter, and that 14 would be endings/epilogue.

And whats up with all this pregnancy stuff in the game?

Well, you see... sometimes when a man and a woman really love each other...

 

[Klaigh]

 

[dartred]

All? There's very little pregnancy in the main game and that's always been my biggest complaint.

 

[FENISMARKS]

lol can we get a full game as the dog

 

[Cobra14]

Hey there, i have an issue, when i extract the chapt 12 game and try to load in, i get an error code when loading the mcs bedroom stating that the game cannot find the chapter 12 code lines. Anyone knows hot to fix that?

 

[SuddenReal]

Anyone knows hot to fix that?

Mandatory question: did you install the mandatory patch?

 

[Dernicedude2]

I didnt complain. But the dev is just teasing us without actually making one of the characters pregnant in the main game.

Actually we learned in chapter 12 that one of the characters IS pregnant, but it takes months (5 or so?) for a pregnant woman to "show". It's not clear how much time has passed in the game, but I'd guess only 2 or 3 months. We probably won't see full-blown pregnancy (in canon) until the epilogue (chapter 14).

Endings/ Epilogue sounds amazing, I hope the plot has a satisfying conclusion though, endings can make or break a story, but this game actually got to the point where I'm worried about the ending so that's a big plus gonna give it that.

It wouldn't be too hard to have a good ending. Just make sure Hunter is dealt with (either in prison or dead). All the girls are preggo. One big ol orgy with all of them and their pregnant bellies. End with a scene of a bunch of baby prams. Although I think that was the ending to Treasure of Nadia now that I think about it.

It was Lust Epidemic, the previous game.

Let's not leave out the prego sex
