Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[dartred]

(Aside from the own winning submission) The scene i want to see most is when Cath is revealing she is pregnant with Sterling's baby in the teasers. Ophelia and Brenna look absolutely furious, but both seem to be taking pregnancy tests and have a "How could this happen" look too. I want to see them get mad, surprised and come to terms with being pregnant by incest.

It's not even a sex scene lol

Speaking of David, I honestly wished they bring up his death a little more in chapter 13 because I still think Hunter had him killed. Hunter realized that no matter how many families he and Drew have conquered, he still missed Annabelle and Ophelia was the only person aside from Aliza that was close to her, and he also knew as long as David was around, it was never going to happen. With the connections he made, he finally tracked them down and probably spied on them waiting for a right moment and set up David's death to make it look like a accident. I mean if he could kill Lucia and Drew so coldly in a bad ending, I know this is something Hunter will do

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.

I feel the same way. Hopefully there is some major ass-kissing being done this next chapter i hate to come off as spiteful, but it would just be nice knowing that the girls care enough about Sterling to show him that they still feel guilt and shame even though it was all of Hunter's fault ultimately. That's why i'm hoping some good amount of time passes before young Hunter and New Annabelle show up because the girls need time to process everything that has happened..but if they show up soon after.. all of those emotions we are looking forward to seeing will be swept under the rug in a flash it seems.

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?

So i guess this means David had a millimeter peter?

I thought i read here that they were maybe angry because they didn't get pregnant somehow? Only Catherine ended up getting pregnant?

No, they are mad that Sterling got Cath pregnant. then they go check for themselves.

Supposedly they helped Catherine get an IUD, so they're probably mainly shocked that she even got pregnant. I don't think they should be mad at Sterling.

Unless David is somehow secretly alive, then I agree that Hunter probably had something to do with his death. This seems like the biggest unanswered question (how David died), and I really hope it gets explained.

Ophelia did say that David was about half Sterling's size.

I thought i read here that they were maybe angry because they didn't get pregnant somehow? Only Catherine ended up getting pregnant?

Ophelia definitely got pregnant too.

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?

Dude, He's DONE those things to other families and the whole 'protocols' Drew had means that they've been that forcefull in other places and he did shot those darts, he missed, but he shot those darts. That is not even intent, that is an attempt so the 'well in the bad ends he is worse' is a big nope, he's done it before, he is attempting to do it now, he's just having a hard time to succed this time.

And again Drew's only qualm about this is that it's being done to his family, if it were anyone else he will be all aboard cuz he's done it before.

Yeah for me to have a truly happy ending all of the antagonists have to lose in the end and be exiled/shunned from the household. Including Drew that little shit

WWG could easily milk the Epilogues, What If's and Dream Scenes for another couple of years. That's how much this game is loved by his fans. He wouldn't have to rush into a second game at all and quite frankly i don't like when devs do that. A lot of times the second game feels rushed and forced.

I would add an olive branch to this that PV hasn't ever had a v0.xyz it's always been chapters, so in theory, WWG could shift focus to a parallel game from like Brenna's perspective or that random chick from the vacation pool and all the while adding on expansion packs to PV here and there. This could help shine a new light upon the strings behind the strings behind the scenes to allow a proper closure of Power Vacuum. They could then keep the chick perspective thing open for however they feel is necessary to tie up some oversights or just add fun in the future while whipping up a new IP maybe?

I have half a mind that Drew is gonna have a redemtion arc... I've seen too few things to think Drew can change for the better (final scene on chapter 12 wasn't too shabby gotta admit) and I insist that there is too little time to delve to deep into Drew, David, Kira, Nora, Annabelle, or Young Hunter (if dude isn't a red hearing) that are all characters that are very important to the plot but haven't have much time to be explored.

Drew could have a great redemtion arc (if at the end of the day there is even one) if there was enough time for one.

 

[dartred]

They seem to be giving Drew a chance. In the bad end with Ophelia. They are giving her a chastity belt which i think is the ultimatum to live in their house. At lease until she can be trusted. With the bad end part being she somehow gets it taken off. I assume the good path being she keeps it on and maybe starts to actually become trustable.

 

[indigis]

I believe what you're referring to is the theory that someone said that Brenna was upset that her pregnancy test results came out negative and felt left out because Sterling got both Cath and Ophelia (pretty HIGHLY implied) pregnant

 

[Dmob_6438]

Yeah Drew can wear the chastity belt to earn their forgiveness in time. However there’s one thing I know for sure, Sterling will never let her have sex with any of the girls or even let her participate in anything sexual at all and if so all she can do is watch like a cuckold. Unless she decides to fully go through with surgery to get rid of the penis

 

[indigis]

I personally would prefer that to be the case that Brenna doesn't end up pregnant and then afterwards tries her hardest to get pregnant from Sterling

Calling it now, Drew was originally born with nothing like Horsedick.npg from the movie Miss March.
Aliza is raising the heavyset guy as her son but they're brother/sister.
Is Amber in the same clan as Kumiko and Tiffany? More realistic competition for Brenna!
Brenna is gonna be strictly work partner / forever fuck buddies but never married bc that would mess up the friendship.
Catherine..... she's there. Would like to see her like 2-5" taller and like 5-15% thicker with about 5% less freckles, just to make her look like a realass adult yknahmean?
Eva is the forever first so she can get shoehorned in wherever bc the way things have gone so far it seems that she's okay with both steady relationship or nsa fuckbuddies.
Hotel chick? Ayo sometimes hotel chicks happen. I can testify to this fact lol. One and done never to be seen again.
Idk who tf Keira is in the story. She came after I learned about unren ultrahack. Looks like more competition to Brenna!
Lucia is the childhood exchange summer friend typa origin. Aught to be endgame goal or a forever fuckbuddy.
Mallory is the real twist. She's the egg donor to Ophelia! Maybe?
Nora looks hot!
Nurse is a solid touch. Could be a hair wider in the buttocks and/or hips bc from the POV shots her ass looks 'too tall'.
Ophelia will either become freeuse or hands~off.
Rebecca looks like a random addition of more of Brenna's friends. Neat. Thx.
Tiffany appears to be the first earnest look at a LI bc Eva was all about lust. She did the things with the words that Sterling never heard and he falls down the rabbit hole.
My two cents.

/ end rant lol

Yeah willingly going along with Hunter's plans and doing his bidding for so long makes me want to see him totally banished in a good ending along with the others. I also totally agree with the double standard issue that Fayn has talked about. Sterling took advantage of the drugging of the household and still benefits from it just like others here have said before, would there have ever been a chance for Sterling to woo these girls without the help of Hunter's mind control/drugs? But ultimately i don't care about being hypocritical i still want Sterling to win in the end because for me it's hard not to choose the MC over all other males in the story(because of projection i guess?)also because he still told Hunter to f off and didn't agree to share so that has to mean something right? But also i guess one could also argue that Hunter was also to blame for Sterling's lustful feelings towards the household? But anyway for me it's a weird gray area of lust and love and hard to pinpoint exactly where everyone lies inside this bubble. This also makes me wonder how everyone will react after the drugs stop being introduced to the household? Will they all be like Nora and Keira where they seem to have regret and dumbfounded at how something so wild between them and Hunter/Drew could of happened? I really hope we get a soppy love ending where the girls still love Sterling and are happy to have that type of relationship with him even though they know they were under the influence the entire time before. By the end the drugs/mind control has to be totally removed for it to be perfect.

In the cannon end how will Drew redeem himself, are there any theories ? Because I thought he was going to go away with Lucia & Keira, it was the bad end for them in a way but for the cannon ending are there any hints as to what the future holds for him ?

 

[dartred]

We don't know what's going to happen to Drew. The only thing we see for Drew in the teasers is her bad end. That doesn't tell us anything really in terms of if she is going to be allowed to stay or get kicked out or thrown in jail. We probably aren't going to find out until the updates comes out.

the bad end with ophelia? I thought it was just the regular story, and then in the bad end it comes off.

I get it, because it's all speculation on our side since we have all the information (including the stuff that didn't happen). But they don't know how far Hunter's willing to go (I mean, they know it's far, but how far exactly...). For now, they have no reason to link David's death to Hunter, but I'm sure when Drew starts spilling the beans, things'll change.
