* FamilyVersusCareer: This is one of the defining premises of the game. It's most pronounced in the decisions that Dan has to make, as he must keep choosing between working on his latest novel or making time for his family. To a lesser extent this is also the case with Linda, who is passionate about painting but is worried about her relationship with her husband. Both of them must also help guide their son Tommy through his own difficulties and loneliness.

[[spoiler:Depending on the decisions you make, in one path he can succeed: he can floor his publisher with a brilliant work that's in high demand, and after completing more novels and winning the National Book Award he can retire as one of the most respected authors in American literature, thanks to the summer in which he finds his muse.]]
