I have to ask because the story feels a little off putting and very inconsistent, why the name(title) landlord and landlady at the beginning of the game? were you aiming for father/step-father and mother/step-mother, are you self-censoring or what? because based on the occurrences in the story it makes perfect sense if it was father and mother, but it seems to me that you avoided a self moral dilemma.
There is no reason why a "tenant" should care about the divorce of the "landlord/lady", there is even less reason to hate the "landlady" for leaving and the "tenant" should not be suffering from abandonment issues, it really makes zero sense. It hurts the story and the emotion behind it.
I know this game is still in early development so I apologize if I sound rude or harsh. Would like to hear the reason behind this choice.
