Your math is pretty much in line with my own estimates (quoted below).
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...
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.
Actually stated? 13
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.
Mandatory question: did you install the mandatory patch?
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.
