The conversation in the last few posts reminds me of an old question I had:
Where are all the Sad Mom games?
No seriously, are there any games when you're a female guardian with a ward?
Does Okami count?
Bound
What Remains of Edith Finch.
The Cat Lady
Monument Valley 2
Kings Quest VII
Shelter
Smoke and Sacrifice
not much in terms of playable protags that are moms
Great examples.
Amy. I never played it and it got mixed reception, but you're in a motherly role and are in escort missions with a young girl.
Amnesia 2, you're playing a pregnant mom. I didn't play it so I can't speak to the execution but it's definitely sad!
Sad dad games have more to owe to Lone Wolf and Cub, The Road, and other literature classics than...Bioshock Infinite 😅
