You know, when I first started this, I was gonna say something about how WAY too young the three main girls look for their age, compared to the relatively fitting rest of the cast, you know? But... the more I've played it, I just can NOT stop thinking of this old, 90's comedy, "Father of the Bride". Steve Martin plays the titular dad of this 20 something daughter, and starts having a midlife crisis when she reveals she's getting married. Rather than showing her as she is, the adult daughter is swapped out with how her dad still sees her, this lil preteen version in her place saying all the same lines of dialogue, leaving him in horror.
Cute, funny old movie, but yeah. The more Frank talks on about raising them, the struggles with Lilly or with Abby and her now gone mom... somehow the super young faces just... fit. Not because they're realistic, but because of that whole, being seen from the eyes of your parents, thing. Wound up feeling more like it added to the game the more the story went on, instead of detracting from it. Anyhow, was one of the few game where it genuinely felt like being a parent was well written into the story, rather than just shoe horned in to try and tick off another kink in the checkbox list. Especially some of the nonsexual story beats, such as Lily's dad, Abby's mom, the struggle to keep family together after divorce (especially with SO many of us being from broken homes these days... ) Just was a lot that resonated Super impressed thus far!!!
