Caretaker and friends, huh? Guess I'll be looking for an (un)official patch then.
Meaning this game is altered due to Patreon guidelines and their hatred for core "family values". The ingame lingo used for character relationships blatantly reflects that. The developer must deny this ofcourse (due to Patreon guidelines), but we men and women of culture know how the lingo works. Yesterday was "landlady/caretaker" day, if you know what I mean. Me and my "friend/roommate" went to visit her to show our apriciation for taking care of us. Are you getting the lingo and how it works? Feel free to deny it or say you don't understand, we all do (as we must). That's how the lingo works. So... an (un)official "family friendly" patch not made or supported by developer is the way to play the game as intended.
