It's not the worst trope in the world and mirrors a lot of real world family dynamics.Interesting enough game so far (my first playthrough). Saying that, game developers really need to stray from the whole 'you have a mom, older and younger sister...your little sister loves you, but the older one hates your guts' routine. We have this, Dreams of Desire, (the unfinished) Big Brother and others with similar dynamics; although the storylines were different, the core relationships started off in a similar manner.
Once again...great game, core relationships aside!
The eldest sibling is often too "grown up" and looking down on the younger ones, and the youngest do often tend to have a bit of hero worship for the middle child that's willing to give them attention and be their friend. I've lived it (I was the older sibling and I went off and did my own shit) and I've seen it in other families I know in real life; my best friend growing up was a middle child and hung out with his younger brother all the time. If you're going to sexualise the whole situation it makes perfect senses that the younger one would love you and the older would be harder work to win over.
Maybe it has been done to death, but I'm certainly not sick of it. I mean some of the (imo) better attempts at it are far from being the first. If they'd stopped because of lack of originality we wouldn't have gotten them.
