Imagine the bitch popping up into MC's life after abandoning him only to tell him that he's gonna be Damon's or his dad's kid's brother. Now that would be one legit epic troll from the dev.
But joke aside, pretty shitty thing Damon did there, and I can't really think of an argument the dev could pull out of their ass to justify this betrayal, especially for MC's mom. There's nothing she can do or say that can earn her forgiveness. Hope the dev is ready for the incoming backlash if he decides that simping and ass kissing is the solution to all the problems in MC's life.
Let's hope there actually will be a next update, coz I personally don't believe the dev can finish this game, considering how long it took him to release this update.
Yeah, that's most players' main complaint with this story. I don't give a shit if she's a lesbian, but abandoning your son when he needed a shoulder to cry on the most is a really shitty thing to do for a parent, and I'm really curious to see how or IF the dev cares about redeeming this shitty mother. I get that her husband is a piece of shit and she wants stability and someone who loves and gives a shit about her, but she should've talked things out with the MC first and go back to being with her lesbian lover only after that.
The story's pretty good if you shut off your brain in some situations, but it's too heavily focused on pointless drama that makes it ridiculous. A little drama is good if it's decently written, but too much of it would make even soap opera writers and producers cringe and call it bullshit.
I cannot believe THIS is the big secret with Helen, the MC's mom. I wish I could say I was surprised to find out her 'troubled patient' was Damon all along, but even that's not a big surprise. I am just completely disappointed the dev chose this direction to take the reveal with Helen. This is in no way a justification for dropping everything and ghosting your supposed loved ones just to pursue a past love? I don't care if she is gay/straight/bisexual, that's still a big no no. What kind of example is that supposed to set from someone respected as a psychiatrist and a parent?
As for Damon... man, this guy is just their worst friend ever. Literally everything he touches, he destroys, all because he is too much of a coward and a piece of shit. He uses everyone around him, leads Danielle on and prevents her from finding her own happiness with a guy that actually loves her, agrees to help Naomi ambushing the MC at the club, and the worst sin... he destroyed his supposed best friend's family and life. He may not have literally murdered someone, but he murdered a family. Motherfucker seriously could not leave well enough alone and had the fucking nerve to investigate Helen's past!? For what? To call her a liar if for some reason he could not find proof she used to eat pussy and had a girlfriend? What exactly was he hoping to accomplish? Damon's life was fucked, might as well ruin his best friend's? All he had to do was let it slip that maybe the MC did not know about his mom's past, and that would have started the conversation about whether to accept the mom for who she is/was without breaking his family apart.
I don't remember if it's actually said in-game whether Damon encouraged her to go find her ex-love, we know he presented the results of his investigation to her, again, not sure why the fuck he cares enough to do that and not anticipate the consequences, but seriously...WTF?! I pray the Dev will give us the choice to tell Damon and Helen to fuck off and never talk to them again... that they are dead to him because that's how I would feel.
On a related note, not sure, but is Alex the lost love of Helen? We saw flashbacks of her giving someone a rose... and later proposing, while on bended knee. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess she was proposing to a woman? So was this just one big fuck you coincidence that Alexandra became a therapist/shrink like Helen, and just happened to take over treating Damon, while wanting to spy on her lover's son? And what the fuck was up with that choice to even kiss her? That choice confused the fuck out of me.
Lastly, another reason why I hated how Damon came to be Helen's patient was the inherent bias that was highly unprofessional and unethical. I almost wish it was a random female patient who was tied to Helen's ex long ago and Helen connected the dots and had to at least explain her actions... why she chose to leave her and start a family with someone else. I can ALMOST sympathize with Helen needing time to see her lover, apologize and explain her actions... and get the closure she so desperately needed before returning back to her husband and son... not fucking abandon them without a single fucking word. I do think the husband probably knew about his wife's gay past, which is why he let her go and just focused on work and moving on without her and even inviting his son to move on with him.
Anyway, I digress, the point I was trying to make was, it was highly inappropriate for Helen to even agree to treat Damon, let alone disclose her own personal struggle with her sexual orientation. I can't help but feel like while Helen wanted to sincerely help Damon, she should have anticipated how this would go the more they would bond over her past, and the damage it would to those around her. Her own disregard for her actions along with Damon being the one responsible for not just leaving it alone is why I can't forgive them. I was almost ok with giving Damon a pass for not coming out to Danielle and the MC... but this... this is unforgivable for me and I hope we get an option to tell them off and NOT forgive them.
