I think you're right about the NTR with Steve & Rachel. I would assume there was a lot of backlash among supporters as there was here. Especially since the dev said that Steve would be around for a couple more updates and there were hints in the game of NTR with Steve & Emily, too. I kind of liked this game, even though it was grindy and even though the dev decided to add the NTR, although neither are ideal entertainment. I'm hoping there's a chance that the game is not really abandoned and the dev is busy re-writing and re-rendering to win back support. Not betting on it, though.
Not a fucking chance dude, as much as I enjoyed the game, the NTR fucked the game to death twice, first problem, it was first added miles into a grindy as fuck game, making anyone who wanted to see it have to spend ages to see it and not worth it, and second, killed anyone who hates NTR from playing it.
There is no way to come back from this even with a redo, first, it's tainted now, and no one who hates NTR will come back, second, the only choice would be to appeal to the NTR mob, and you would have to either change your fuck whatever she was, the blonde girl (fucked if I can remember after all this time), and make her your girlfriend, not a relative, and you would then have to either have the father be found sooner, or flashbacks of the father fucking the blonde, and add a fuck ton of NTR.
Assuming there are many NTR fans of grindy as fuck repetitive badly done sandbox games.
