It's a miracle that the college hasn't been shut down, porn logic I guess. Let's see: animal experiments, several cases of male and female professors having sex with students, the first women's basketball team bribing the principal with naughty pictures and probably sexual favors. Yeah, it looks like it's all good.It's a family game, there's nothing shady going on at the college, you can relax and the proof is that it doesn't have the "prostitution" tag on it.
The experiments on animals are "for science and progress", the love affairs between students and professors are just rumours and gossip, and as far as I can remember the women's basketball team doesn't appear in season 1, they were resting at a spa, so it's just more evil rumours

No...not just you...Is it just me, or does Katie look sexier as she gets older
Yep where's the fucking horror tag ???It's a miracle that the college hasn't been shut down, porn logic I guess.

It is not unrealistic, but do we think that SG will go this dark ? Also seems to much alike another well know AVN. Think more likely answer is that ZPR does has a modeling program and Katie is involved with it.
Well, obviously there is a secret (illegal) genetics lab on campus. Racoon tries to escape this hell... The second picture is what you get when you try to join DNA of a cat, a werewolf and a stop light...
All we know for sure is that Ocean backed out of the idea of Nika going the full path of darkness and becoming a fully formed sociopath or psychopath. As for the world he moves in, I assume that if WIAB and SG create one coherent universe after all, then if dark and fucked up things are part of one, they should be part of the other. Nika himself may not do all those messed up things himself, but the crap will still be part of the world surrounding him. The strange circumstances of Summer's disappearance, Mila situation living with her whore mother. Bella accusing Holgerson of being a pedophile, Melanie Ceril trying to drown Vic in the pool. However, they suggest to me that Ocean has no intention of giving up on the heavy subject matter in Summer's Gone. Of course, in the case of the modeling agency, it's just a guess and it may be as you say and nothing shady happens, but on the scale of the entire game, I doubt we'll miss such situations.
You make good points. I don't think that SG will be a light novel, but lighter than WiaB, but this depends on how dark it will be. The modeling thing is an interesting perspective, Leia could use it, although not with Sasha, but Katie would be part of it ? Too many question, too little information.
I don't remember if she had another brother, but the one that appears isn't white!
sigbert is not pure
Forget to add sexual harassment.The experiments on animals are "for science and progress", the love affairs between students and professors are just rumours and gossip, and as far as I can remember the women's basketball team doesn't appear in season 1, they were resting at a spa, so it's just more evil rumours
I still want to see that snake with the capabilities of a scp roaming around campus.
I have a feeling that Summer's Gone may turn out to be darker as a whole, but the path of the protoganist will be lighter and vice versa in WIAB the whole story will be lighter but William will sink into a darker path. In WIAB the entire burden rests on the street gangster drama for now, in SG there are more personal dramas happening in the privacy of homes and from the very beginning of the game and the dream with Summer I have similar feelings known from Lynch's films, a feeling that something is very wrong but I can't fully describe it. Apparently these psychedelic flowers have messed with my head so much and the appearance of a classic Willem Dafoe character in the form of Officer Cerill didn't help
Abso-fucking-lutely no chance! None whatso-fucking-ever!
Drugs are there, Sasha gives Nika a pill in chapter 5
.If it really is as you say and he does not intend to go into darker tones in the future, focusing on, as you say, Steam mainstream vanilla experience. In my opinion, he is mercilessly overestimating the marketing reach of his games. What is he counting on? AVN is and will be a complete niche in the video game market from what I have seen, the most reviews that AVN game has on Steam is Fresh Woman with 15,000, what mainstream is he aiming at? Unless he dreams that his game will be some kind of breakthrough, the first game of this type that will really break through and become recognizable on a larger scale. It would make more sense not to impose any restrictions, aiming at a non-existent mainstream audience, but to do everything to make his game unique and offer an experience that you will not find in any other game of this type, focusing on its true audience of fans of the niche genre that is AVNAbso-fucking-lutely no chance! None whatso-fucking-ever!
Ocean had his chance to tell a darker story and he utterly backtracked. This could have been an engaging story about someone lost in a very dark place due to some very traumatic events that slowly crawls back into the light. Could have delved into subjects like suicide, death, psychopathy etc... Instead we have the story of a weird dude that's kind of a prick and suffers from mild anxiety because his teen crush moved out of town a few years ago.
This story is so ludicrously sanitized you can barely argue with a straight face that is directed at an adult audience. This is dating sim level shit. This is teen romance novel type shit. Straight up. The lack of mature themes in SG is about as inconspicuous as a naked 300 pound man dancing in front of your eyes. Besides the nudity what do you have?
- Drugs? No.
- Violence? No.
- Sex? Fucking LOL
- Smoking? Wasn't the smoking lady in the café cinematic removed too?
- Guns? That's gone. Unless you count Bella's lighter.
- Sexual harrassment? Only if the victim is male, cuz that's funny. The other way around it would be a nono for publishers.
- Strong or offensive language? Only if you think "cunt" or "fuck"crosses a line you soy fuck.
Bottom line? SG is as vanilla and mainstream as vanilla and mainstream get. It won't get darker than you've already seen. If you want a more mature story try the Twilight Saga. Play the original Life is Strange.
I agree with you on WiAB though. That should be a more grown up story but still very mild considering it's going to Steam.
Remember Nika got high on Gummies at Bellas.Abso-fucking-lutely no chance! None whatso-fucking-ever!

I get what you're saying but I think he's doing fine and will keep doing fine. There are plenty of creators focused on fully vanilla content that do very well. MrDots for example.
Technically right but...I mean...THC gummy bears? Really? No "hardcore drugs" then.
Also technically correct but...c'mon guys. That's hardly "violence". That type of content could feature in a kids schoolbook. Or am I just super desensitized? A scuffle with a couple of thrown punches and a hugging session with Bella is hardly what I'd classify as "violent" but ok. I'm not dying on this hill
