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

[Fayn Arawn]

(Aside from the own winning submission) The scene i want to see most is when Cath is revealing she is pregnant with Sterling's baby in the teasers. Ophelia and Brenna look absolutely furious, but both seem to be taking pregnancy tests and have a "How could this happen" look too. I want to see them get mad, surprised and come to terms with being pregnant by incest.

Supposedly they helped Catherine get an IUD, so they're probably mainly shocked that she even got pregnant. I don't think they should be mad at Sterling.

Speaking of David, I honestly wished they bring up his death a little more in chapter 13 because I still think Hunter had him killed. Hunter realized that no matter how many families he and Drew have conquered, he still missed Annabelle and Ophelia was the only person aside from Aliza that was close to her, and he also knew as long as David was around, it was never going to happen. With the connections he made, he finally tracked them down and probably spied on them waiting for a right moment and set up David's death to make it look like a accident. I mean if he could kill Lucia and Drew so coldly in a bad ending, I know this is something Hunter will do

Unless David is somehow secretly alive, then I agree that Hunter probably had something to do with his death. This seems like the biggest unanswered question (how David died), and I really hope it gets explained.

So i guess this means David had a millimeter peter?

Ophelia did say that David was about half Sterling's size.

I thought i read here that they were maybe angry because they didn't get pregnant somehow? Only Catherine ended up getting pregnant?

Ophelia definitely got pregnant too.

 

[NachoAndCheez]

Okay? I didn't say Hunter was innocent. Obviously he's done terrible things. My point was that he's even worse in the bad ends, and it's too easy and unfair to judge him based on those.

Speaking of drugs and cameras, do you think Sterling has made morally justifiable decisions considering his knowledge of said drugs and cameras?

Dude, He's DONE those things to other families and the whole 'protocols' Drew had means that they've been that forcefull in other places and he did shot those darts, he missed, but he shot those darts. That is not even intent, that is an attempt so the 'well in the bad ends he is worse' is a big nope, he's done it before, he is attempting to do it now, he's just having a hard time to succed this time.

And again Drew's only qualm about this is that it's being done to his family, if it were anyone else he will be all aboard cuz he's done it before.

Yeah for me to have a truly happy ending all of the antagonists have to lose in the end and be exiled/shunned from the household. Including Drew that little shit

WWG could easily milk the Epilogues, What If's and Dream Scenes for another couple of years. That's how much this game is loved by his fans. He wouldn't have to rush into a second game at all and quite frankly i don't like when devs do that. A lot of times the second game feels rushed and forced.

I would add an olive branch to this that PV hasn't ever had a v0.xyz it's always been chapters, so in theory, WWG could shift focus to a parallel game from like Brenna's perspective or that random chick from the vacation pool and all the while adding on expansion packs to PV here and there. This could help shine a new light upon the strings behind the strings behind the scenes to allow a proper closure of Power Vacuum. They could then keep the chick perspective thing open for however they feel is necessary to tie up some oversights or just add fun in the future while whipping up a new IP maybe?

I have half a mind that Drew is gonna have a redemtion arc... I've seen too few things to think Drew can change for the better (final scene on chapter 12 wasn't too shabby gotta admit) and I insist that there is too little time to delve to deep into Drew, David, Kira, Nora, Annabelle, or Young Hunter (if dude isn't a red hearing) that are all characters that are very important to the plot but haven't have much time to be explored.

Drew could have a great redemtion arc (if at the end of the day there is even one) if there was enough time for one.

 

[dartred]

They seem to be giving Drew a chance. In the bad end with Ophelia. They are giving her a chastity belt which i think is the ultimatum to live in their house. At lease until she can be trusted. With the bad end part being she somehow gets it taken off. I assume the good path being she keeps it on and maybe starts to actually become trustable.

I believe what you're referring to is the theory that someone said that Brenna was upset that her pregnancy test results came out negative and felt left out because Sterling got both Cath and Ophelia (pretty HIGHLY implied) pregnant

 

[Dmob_6438]

Yeah Drew can wear the chastity belt to earn their forgiveness in time. However there’s one thing I know for sure, Sterling will never let her have sex with any of the girls or even let her participate in anything sexual at all and if so all she can do is watch like a cuckold. Unless she decides to fully go through with surgery to get rid of the penis

 

[indigis]

I personally would prefer that to be the case that Brenna doesn't end up pregnant and then afterwards tries her hardest to get pregnant from Sterling

Calling it now, Drew was originally born with nothing like Horsedick.npg from the movie Miss March.
Aliza is raising the heavyset guy as her son but they're brother/sister.
Is Amber in the same clan as Kumiko and Tiffany? More realistic competition for Brenna!
Brenna is gonna be strictly work partner / forever fuck buddies but never married bc that would mess up the friendship.
Catherine..... she's there. Would like to see her like 2-5" taller and like 5-15% thicker with about 5% less freckles, just to make her look like a realass adult yknahmean?
Eva is the forever first so she can get shoehorned in wherever bc the way things have gone so far it seems that she's okay with both steady relationship or nsa fuckbuddies.
Hotel chick? Ayo sometimes hotel chicks happen. I can testify to this fact lol. One and done never to be seen again.
Idk who tf Keira is in the story. She came after I learned about unren ultrahack. Looks like more competition to Brenna!
Lucia is the childhood exchange summer friend typa origin. Aught to be endgame goal or a forever fuckbuddy.
Mallory is the real twist. She's the egg donor to Ophelia! Maybe?
Nora looks hot!
Nurse is a solid touch. Could be a hair wider in the buttocks and/or hips bc from the POV shots her ass looks 'too tall'.
Ophelia will either become freeuse or hands~off.
Rebecca looks like a random addition of more of Brenna's friends. Neat. Thx.
Tiffany appears to be the first earnest look at a LI bc Eva was all about lust. She did the things with the words that Sterling never heard and he falls down the rabbit hole.
My two cents.

/ end rant lol

Yeah willingly going along with Hunter's plans and doing his bidding for so long makes me want to see him totally banished in a good ending along with the others. I also totally agree with the double standard issue that Fayn has talked about. Sterling took advantage of the drugging of the household and still benefits from it just like others here have said before, would there have ever been a chance for Sterling to woo these girls without the help of Hunter's mind control/drugs? But ultimately i don't care about being hypocritical i still want Sterling to win in the end because for me it's hard not to choose the MC over all other males in the story(because of projection i guess?)also because he still told Hunter to f off and didn't agree to share so that has to mean something right? But also i guess one could also argue that Hunter was also to blame for Sterling's lustful feelings towards the household? But anyway for me it's a weird gray area of lust and love and hard to pinpoint exactly where everyone lies inside this bubble. This also makes me wonder how everyone will react after the drugs stop being introduced to the household? Will they all be like Nora and Keira where they seem to have regret and dumbfounded at how something so wild between them and Hunter/Drew could of happened? I really hope we get a soppy love ending where the girls still love Sterling and are happy to have that type of relationship with him even though they know they were under the influence the entire time before. By the end the drugs/mind control has to be totally removed for it to be perfect.

In the cannon end how will Drew redeem himself, are there any theories ? Because I thought he was going to go away with Lucia & Keira, it was the bad end for them in a way but for the cannon ending are there any hints as to what the future holds for him ?

 

[dartred]

We don't know what's going to happen to Drew. The only thing we see for Drew in the teasers is her bad end. That doesn't tell us anything really in terms of if she is going to be allowed to stay or get kicked out or thrown in jail. We probably aren't going to find out until the updates comes out.

the bad end with ophelia? I thought it was just the regular story, and then in the bad end it comes off.

I get it, because it's all speculation on our side since we have all the information (including the stuff that didn't happen). But they don't know how far Hunter's willing to go (I mean, they know it's far, but how far exactly...). For now, they have no reason to link David's death to Hunter, but I'm sure when Drew starts spilling the beans, things'll change.

My Gallery "Mod"?

I didn't put a whole lot of time into it, but I wanted to touch-up the Gallery with a QoL patch since this is one of my favorite Ren'Py games of all-time honestly. Basically, I just focused on:​

• Adding faster chapter navigation, with the usage of a dropdown button (deprecates navigation arrows)
• Adding indicators for NTR scenes (If I missed any, please let me know )
• Memory list optimization so it'll be easier for me for future update(s), even if Chapter 13 will be the last one

Attached some screenshots. You'll just overwrite the existing memories.rpy file with the one I've attached.


I hope the Chapter 13 release doesn't get pushed beyond March, I've been patient for so long smdh lol.

Anyways, enjoy!

If this David was the OG patriarch as described in the synopsis then I'd bet like 85% of my Las Vegas chips that Hunter at minimum had him hit if not did the deed himself on some Breaking Bad. Jealous people gonna never gel~with~us. I've done the solo dolo super loyal and done the we're super close fuckbuddies who are free. Both are wonderful walks of life so long as you have a partner(s) who are on the same highway as you are.

sorry. i might have not worded it right, but that's what i meant. she's made to wear a chastity belt in the story and it will be taken off during Ophelia's bad end only. I presume it's going to be kept on during the story.

Those anims aren't a side~kink it's canon? Huh. Yea. She wants it in every way so badly that she wants to cut off the access so that when it does happen it's all the better haha.

IMO those belts of that nature are fucking dumb bc like what if you need to take a leak or worse.

Or, yknow, just don't react to a 9.9/10 woman like a fkn cannibal cat to something that used to exist (yesterday) on the tractor hood before it was introduced to some birdshot from a double barrel single load off the porch rocking chair.

I found this image as an advertisement on this site, so I want to ask is this scene actually happen in this game or is it a fan-art and also if there is actually scene event like this, is it avoidable?
