The landscape of video game walkthroughs has traditionally been dominated by efficiency: fastest speedrun, 100% completion, optimal loot routes, or hardest difficulty strategies. However, an emergent subgenre—colloquially termed the "Wife and Mother Walkthrough"—offers a distinct approach. This type of guide prioritizes narrative outcomes, character relationships, and minimizing distress (both for the player and in-game characters). This paper analyzes the defining features, cultural assumptions, and value of the "Wife and Mother Walkthrough" as a legitimate form of game mediation, using examples from The Last of Us , Red Dead Redemption 2 , and The Witcher 3 .
