So let's deep dive why Hunter is important shall we. Hunters actions in the past did irreparable damage to Sterling's father which lead to how he treated him, which caused Sterling to leave home in the first place. This caused major problems for Brenna towards Sterling because she felt abandoned by her brother not knowing the full situation. Once the game picks up after the father's death and Sterling coming home he finds that Hunter is responsible for paying for them to keep the house. Sterling initially has zero romantic interest in his family and only gets closer to them as a result of protecting them from Hunter. Throughout the game Hunter is drugging the food and air they are eating/drinking. Everything Sterling has done in the game in regards to his family is the result of Hunters actions.
So after all that what would the game be without Hunter? A happy family that doesn't fuck each other and there is no adult visual novel to experience because there is no catalyst to push the story forward. He is essential to the fabric of the narrative. Without him there is no game period. Stop thinking he is replaceable without destroying the very foundation of which thr game had been built on.
