Wonder how this game will finish.
Will Sterling manage to convince his family of what Hunter and Drew were doing?
Will Hunter eventually overcome this and complete his goal of having corrupted his family and fucking the girls?
Will Hunter go to jail?
What will happen with Drew?
How will the girls feel about Drew being part of the plot while helping Hunter?

Ehmmm... the first question was already answered in the last scene of chapter 12.

Will Sterling manage to convince his family of what Hunter and Drew were doing?

As NachoAndCheez commented above, the family finally learned the truth about Hunter's schemes at the end of chapter 12.

Will Hunter eventually overcome this and complete his goal of having corrupted his family and fucking the girls?
Will Hunter go to jail?

I think there will be a bad/alternate end where Hunter wins somehow. But for the true/canon end, I'm not sure what'll happen to Hunter. Maybe he goes to jail, maybe he dies, or maybe he escapes? I think it'd be fitting if he suffered serious injury that rendered him a permanent non-threat.

What will happen with Drew?
How will the girls feel about Drew being part of the plot while helping Hunter?

I think Drew can make the case that she disagreed with Hunter and she wasn't aware of everything he was doing. But Drew has another problem, which is explaining her affair with David. I'm dying to find out the truth about that, and see if Ophelia and Drew will be able to reconcile.

I kind of want an outcome where he just goes off with Anabelle and they live a happy life together.

I wouldn't mind seeing that, although it does seem like a longshot. I assume Hunter has to get a comeuppance, but then I remind myself that the worst things he's done were in bad ends and so they didn't "really" happen.

It would be amusing if Hunter rode off into the sunset with Annabelle, and Sterling was like "I hate to admit it, but everything I have is thanks to that old bastard."

 

[Fayn Arawn]

No, the worse thing he did was attempt to rape his family members, set up spy cameras everywhere and upload porn of them to the internet without anyone knowing, try to nearly kill Sterling with a high dosive tranquillizer and drug literally everyone. The bad endings are just the ones were sterling didn't manage to stop him, he still attempted to do those things

Okay? I didn't say Hunter was innocent. Obviously he's done terrible things. My point was that he's even worse in the bad ends, and it's too easy and unfair to judge him based on those.

Speaking of drugs and cameras, do you think Sterling has made morally justifiable decisions considering his knowledge of said drugs and cameras?

Yeah I don't agree. The attempt to do those things is just as bad as if he had actually done them. Its completely fair to judge him based on the bad ending because it's the intent that actually matters, not whether or not he was capable of pulling it off. You still go to jail for attempted murder even if the victim survived somehow or got away.

Sterling was being drugged too and tried to get rid of the stuff that he could easily identify. So he' fine. He didn't use drugs t his advantage at all and a lot of his events happened outside the house

 

[Adhdclassic]

I am playing again and realized I missed some shit. Sterlings family on both sides was incestuous. Sterlings dad was also a motherfucker and gay. After learning this it puts a different spin on the AVN. Basically Sterling was bound to go this direction no matter what even if Hunter wasn't involved. Shouldn't say just Sterling because all of his family seemed to be going this direction. Debate for Nature vs nuture.

I don't think so. They say "all sin is equal in the eyes of God", but human law makes a distinction between attempted murder and actual murder. You may go to jail either way, but the sentences aren't necessarily the same.

I'm not sure Sterling has a good defense there. He still knew the girls were being drugged somehow and he knowingly benefited from it.

 

[OnlyWorthyDevsMakeMoney]

So I have a question since we're getting to the end of it all.
Will the MC be able to fuck Drew somewhere in the story or maybe in a What if?

Unless in the "endings updates" Drew completes the transition, it's unlikely the Sterling will have some action with Drew.

 

[OnlyWorthyDevsMakeMoney]

I'm not sure Sterling has a good defense there. He still knew the girls were being drugged somehow and he knowingly benefited from it.

My opinion is that Sterling started to think "better with me than with Hunter/Drew", and let's not forget.... it's a porn AVN, if the MC didn't had any action it would've been weird xD

Of course, of course! I'm just playing devil's advocate to highlight our bias favoring the MC. At one point in his youth, Hunter was basically the MC. Could Sterling ever become as bad as Hunter? I don't think so, but it's interesting to analyze their parallels and consider the possibilities.

 

[CamelRed]

What's the date again?

 

[dartred]

What's the date again?

Some time in march. If you're asking about release date.

 

[Gwimmly]

I really want to see Nora and Keira talk more about their past with Hunter and Drew. I know they will understandably try to avoid that topic coming up at all but still would be nice to see. Do the girls tell Nora and Keira why Hunter ran away? I don't remember

Pretty sure David caught them and shoved a gun in Hunter's mouth

It has never being said openly, we know because the MC read his dad's diary (he found out and threatened to kill him).

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't played in a long while i'm waiting for chapter 13 to drop. I was just wondering how Nora and Keira react after finding out what old Hunter was trying to do to Ophelia Cath and Brenna this whole time. Like when they find out he was using drugs on them all. I'm guessing a lightbulb goes off and maybe they realize Hunter and Drew probably did this same thing to them in the past?

Haven't played chapter 12 since release either. All I remember about the 'reveal' is that surprise surprise, the weirdo grandpa that looks like a rotting avocado is actually a creep to be kinda disappointing. They use the drug on him or whatever so he tells the truth, but I'm kinda sus about that since Hunter's been using these drugs for what seems like a long time. Not sure how familiar or experienced people are with drugs here, but speaking from personal experience tolerance is a very real thing. Nora and Keira would have to be beyond Catherine levels of braindead to not realize something hinky was going on there. When they show the flashback of him getting caught it's just him in a toupee and no one in their right mind would let that dude throw a hotdog down their hallway.

The fact that the family members were (temporarily) buying what Hunter was selling when he was trying to manipulate them into believing Sterling was the perpetrator really bothered me and I'm sincerely hoping that Sterling calls them out on it but so far people actually suffering for their actions hasn't really been a strong suit in this story.

My impression was that teenage Drew was able to seduce Nora and Keira without drugs, thanks to a big dick and Dio del Sesso charm. Then after a few years of that, Nora and Keira were open to the idea of Hunter joining in.

David was having sex with Nora at one point, but I wonder when that stopped, maybe when Drew seduced her?
