I also think that "you remind me of someone" from Melanie is clearly hinting at something crucial. And if not MC's real mom, since there is quite a few other good candidates, she's an important character for the story and might've been well connected with Dad in the past. Finished Mary's route for this update, and it was pretty good progression (but i was surprised by the lack of reaction from MC in last scene). Marsha's scene was extremely hot. Personally, i liked the plot twist and cruel cliffhanger. Story became even more interesting. But of course there is pluses in minuses in that. Namely, with characters that we thought were blood-related with MC (except Jo maybe). From one side, it removes "taboo" factor from relationships with them. Be it plus or minus. For some, it may have "killed" the game like we see here. From another, i guess it makes building these relationships much easier and without constant MC's thoughts "what am i doing?" And, it opens other possibilities. Will our MC find his real family? Overall, it certainly completely changed many things. We will see in which direction.
