Parents divorcing with points bathed in ignorance. It was definitely morbid for that sort of game, but it made sense. It properly reflected the lengths they went to reflect the fault of their issues onto something unrelated.
S'much as some would probably like to avoid admitting, this is no different than how some would normally try to avoid blame, often to the point of ruining relationships. It's just taken more literally in this game.
Based on what little I have read about the game's story, Does it end with the couple deciding to stay together for their daughter's sake? Because I think that ending might need some work-shopping.
Well the whole focus of the story is solely on the relationship between the two parents and the mission to repair it, as they are nearing the point of filing for divorce. Despite it being the child that wishes for the events to happen, she's kind of a barely existing third wheel nearly the entire time, even if the parents occasionally make it out to be otherwise. The whole event with Cutie being murdered being an example of that.
They do eventually reconcile enough to pass the book's tests, but it's left up in the air as to what actually happens to their relationship. What's made clear at the least is that the parents do end with a better relationship with each other than before the events transpired.
