I wanted to clear some things up so people won't be mislead:
1. Incest will not be in the game. [...]
2. Non-con. [...] So yeah, non-con is not coming either.
3. Beastiality ain't coming. [...]
4. All the tags and stuff that will appear though, will depend on player choice. [...]
No kink shaming intended, just wanted to make a concrete desicion on these topics to not mislead people who were interested soley in these kinks or mostly followed for those.
1. Incest is a big seller for this type of game, HOWEVER, I applaud your decision in this case. In this case, I wouldn't want to see incest either (I'll clarify why in #2)
2. Non-con. So, as much as I hate to say it, I'm a BIG FAN of non-consensual content. Give me a Female Protagonist with Corruption and Non-con all day long. THAT SAID, I applaud your decision in this case. This character and her circumstances are ... [searching hard for the right word] difficult enough. Coming to America, fleeing wartorn Europe during WWII (possibly being
jewish since her ultimate benefactor is a businessman &/or gangsta named Siegal), and all the other struggles she's faced already and is certain to face... it is enough. Adding incest &/or non-con content wouldn't necessarily break the suspension of disbelief, but would break the suspension of "holy shit this is happening to her, but there might be a way out."
3. I wholeheartedly agree. Not just because it ain't my kink, but because of potential legal issues. Even if it were my kink, I'd be concerned about the legal issues in many countries.
4. W00T!
Bonus. Many years ago the parents of a dear friend of mine took in the Aunt of one of the parents because her own children wouldn't have anything to do with her. Her main claim to fame was that she was a "Moll" to someone in the "Chicago Outfit" back when she was a teenager. She outlived her gangster husband and eventually needed assisted living. She was kicked out of 3 assisted living facilities and no place else would have her. Again, her own children wanted nothing to do with her. So, she came to live with the parents of a dear friend of mine.
She was a horrible person. She smoked (no one else in the house did), she drank (no one else in the house did), she was verbally abusive (no one else in the house was), she was physically abusive (no one else in the house was)... if you can think of a way someone could be awful, she did it.
I'm a bit of an odd duck. IRL I don't know how I do it, but I've known people for a few minutes and they're telling me secrets they haven't told their spouses. So, one time I was on the back porch (respectfully) smoking a cigarette when Aunt [name withheld] came out trying to harass me into smoking inside like she did. Instead I convinced her to smoke her Black&Mild outside with me. We had a conversation - that lasted long after I finished my cigarette, until she finished her cigarillo - and part of it was the sheer joy she got out of making others uncomfortable. If she hadn't smoked, she would have taken up smoking to bother people around her. If she didn't drink, she would throw a fit until people provided her with alcohol to appease her. Everything she did was cold, calculated, and designed to make the people around her miserable. Because they weren't important. They didn't matter. Her husband had been
somebody and he had mattered. She had a keen sense about the people she knew in Chicago and could tell who was
somebody and who didn't matter - and she felt it was her duty/pleasure/responsibility to inflict misery on the people that didn't matter.
Yes, even though that included her own children.
And somehow through all that she decided that I was
someone who mattered. I never figured out how to use that to make the lives of other people easier. Thankfully, she died shortly after that.
And there was much rejoicing.
Hopefully, the protagonist of "The Silver Lining" won't turn out that way... but I personally believe it would be wonderful &/or realistic if there will be a path for her to become every inch of the entitled & horrible bitch that Aunt [name withheld] was.
