VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[Bombmaster]

If you ask me, the only difference in blood vs non-blood incest lies in pregnancy taboo. That is, the increase likelihood of genetic anomalies in blood related pregnancies. So, there is additional taboo in creampieing a blood related because of that. A way to confirm this is that perfect birth control essentially kills this taboo in my opinion. Or even better, think of a blood related but infertile incest.

All other relationship taboo remains. That is, the negative perception of society, the uncomfortable change in perception of the two committing incest, the conflicting desire between what is right and what is feeling.

In the end, incest taboo is hot for being forbidden. Kill this and you kill the taboo. So blood related is just more forbidden for child risk.

Further decomposing, succesful incest tabboo requires both
1) probabilty of getting caught sufficiently high
2) cost of getting caught sufficiently high.

That is why "harem incest family" is for me ridiculous and pointless. You kill the hot element of incest by making everyone accept your relationship. If not everyone, the people you most likely care the most.

This. And the story is structured in a way a person can take his own conclusions about Nika/Nami relationship and to go further, about their relationship is the potential to nuclear fallout if their leap of faith ends badly.

Without stakes perceived incest sucks.

Everyone else (Summer included, should that creature ever return) has been completely discarded.

I actually really really dislike story tropes like that. This Sword of Damocles hanging over your head at all times.
Didn't like it in Leap of Faith either and I am sure there are more where this is a thing.
Let's make you hang out with and get used to and fall in love with these (4-8) nice girls for hours and once you start making up your mind let's bring the canonical "real love" of the MC back. Doesn't matter that you have no connection to that person whatsoever, the MC has and we'll make you feel real bad for not choosing her. Gosh I hate it.

It's like:
1) you ask a girl out,
2) she tell you she only likes you as a friend
3) you tell her, "sure we are going as friends"
4) you call her a bitch because she didn't put out during the night.
Seriously, what were you expecting to happen? "oh no daddy, i was simply playing hard to catch, make me yours with your magical dick!" mmm

I happen to know some really good looking girls that are active on Instagram/Tiktok (I know, crazy right?) and let me tell you there is a massive amount of guys that somehow think like that.
The sheer number of "conversations" in their DMs that go like:

Hi!

Hey!

Hello!

Hi!

Hello!

Hey!

You fucking whore you're ugly anyway

is absolutely staggering.

Just had a Kelly v Nia faceoff. Talk about Angels V Devils

Also, had a Nia V Jenna faceoff. Wondering if there's a slight resemblance there...?

I know what you meant to say. But honestly there is no way you can convince me Kelly is thr angel and Nia the devil.

Nia is cute, playful, looking for friends.

Instead, I am afraid Kelly will have a religious breakdown and try to kill everyone, while calling to jesus.

That bitch scares me and not in a fun way.

I think Kelly's religious breakdown will just be her yelling "Oh, God! Oh, God!" over and over as Nika's reinvigorated dong rails her.

Queen Bella to rule them all, it's perfectly normal.

I have a very similar opinion.

I get some people want the drama of such an impactful character returning but I couldn't disagree more. I don't know what Oceans story plans are but I do know that it is gonna be incredibly hard to bring Summer back without it damaging the narrative irreversibly. If her disappearance is the source of all of the MC's struggles, her return will only serve as a quick fix that will inevitably render the entire journey to wellness, meaningless.

For the sake of the story, Summer should stay missing or dead. Of course we all know she is coming back one way or the other so I'll just get ready for disappointment.

Preach maybe she can return, dead to bring some drama and mourning. If Ocean pulls a keyser soze would kill the vibe

Kelly's devious but naive. And she's ended up near the top of my list after several runs of this... Hopefully, well see more of her. She definitely likes the look of Nika judging from her facial reactions when stood behind Nami trying to convince Nika she'll get him out of there. He'll be featuring in a lot of her secret breeding fantasies

Bella got knocked out quite early on in all my cases. Unfortunately for her, some serious competition showed up early

Wait until she start the killing spree under the "jesus made me do it"

Unless that competition was also Bella, this is nonsense!

Mmm i was in love with Bella even before she called an ugly hobo!

And it's been just a few hours of gameplay but you know what I mean
I just dislike the bait & switch.

EDIT: Oh yeah I remembered one more. BaDik did that too with Zoey.

and I don't like choosing until I see all options. otherwise I'd have to still like Bella even though there are more interesting people starting from third chapter

 

[KekWGgWP]

So no straight answers? :/

Officially there's no incest, because that would get the dev in trouble with patreon and probably steam too (?)

There is a fan made patch for those who want to feel like there's incest, but story wise there's a whole mystery behind Nami and MC's origins so we don't know yet if they are really blood related or not.

We shall see how Ocean will play this out, but judging by the fact that incest isn't seen in a good light by patreon, i think they will turn out not being blood related.

Are you planning of meeting the 4 billion women on Earth?

Falling in love is different, no?

I don't think the little blue pills that DD66 brought today will be enough for his endeavor.
