And how did the handgun get under the bed?

Story got me hooked, even though I don't like Scarlett.

Good point.
But I think you certainly saw Scarlett smoking at the office. It was her father's office. If the daughter of the boss smokes in the office, whose example will the other workers follow? I think that shows that she is a spoiled brat.
Besides, I never said that Scarlett is a brat. Andren did.

Even though this does show a bad example, many people smoke these days whether they're the employer or employee.

Scarlett doesn't seem like a bad person; ANDREN does. He comes off like a judgmental jerk more than anything else, so why should I believe at all about Scarlett's behavior? There is such a thing as an 'unreliable narrator'.

I think I agree with Mink here, since Andren tends to just judge people. For example, he judged Scarlett and also Mark (even though he was plotting something bad). We as the player didn't get much background information about Scarlett so we can't judge her either.
By the way, was there really a need for Hannah to be included at the beginning of the story? I mean, she didn't appear again...

I won't say right now who the Phantom Caller is.
There are some things that I don't like to reveal in a story.
But if you play the game again, or pay more attention you will get the answers yourself.
And, Hannah was mentioned for a reason.
If you still can't get the meaning of the story, I may send you an explanation through pm.

It's obviously her mother.
But I will ask this:
Has the grammar of the above text gone on a vacation?

Yup. This is what happens on internet memes.

All I wanted to say was that saying something like "the information was dumped" was a bit harsh.
I don't mind if people tell me about my game. But I don't want to hear just harsh words after I worked so hard on a VN. Everything can be said in a nicer way.
So, feel free to leave feedback, but no abuse.

Ah, I truly apologize! The term infodump is used a lot on several forums I'm on, so I sort of figured everyone knew what it meant. (To be honest, I really wasn't thinkingf when I used the term)
What infodump generally means is that "a lot of information is given while very few events are happening", or at least that's what I meant when I used it. It wasn' intended to be derogatary, or abuse.
I'm so very sorry >_<

Never mind. No need to apologize.
But in future, do choose your words carefully.
