Im so enjoying playing this game, im now playing Karma route but i first played Rod route, wich gave me a lot of thoughts, because, even though they are no blood related, they are still step-siblings. Im not gonna lie, there were moments where i'd find their interection cute, but i wanted their relationship to grow into something platonic, and not romantic, because its incest and disgusting. When you love someone doesnt necessary mean that needs to be in a romantic way but also in a platonic way.
Thats all i have to say, but the game story is really well done

honestly they aren't related, I haven't played yet, did they grow up together for a very long time? After a quick start at playing it seems like they were only together for some of their lives, I hardly think that counts as incest. Without giving spoilers, there was not exactly a sibling bond ever formed.
No, their parents married literally a few months ago. They live in a huge castle and never see each other because they don’t like each other at first—neither are willing to even acknowledge the marriage essentially—they do not see each other as family at all. Not even as acquaintances as strangers—they won’t talk to each other even as strangers. They didn’t know each other at all beforehand.
I will say that irl I wouldn’t approve. I don’t think it necessarily would be the end of the world but I would advise against it. Irl they couldn’t be living in the same household that’s for sure—like they couldn’t be dating at all. Only if they were adults living on their own and moved out of their parents home.
I will say that I’m not a completionist—there’s lots of Otome games where I literally only play one route and don’t play any of the others if I don’t like them. Rod’s route is my favorite in this game because of his personality. Karma was my second favorite. I didn’t like Fritz or Rumpel—this was my first Otome game I ever played so I did finish these routes, but I would have skipped them if I was playing the game for the first time today. Waltz was just okay.
