Adam and Owen

Adam and Owen is the friendship between Adam and Owen that is seen in Adam and Ryan Carter's story route.

## Overview

Adam and Owen is the friendship consisting of Adam Peterson and Owen Hobbad mostly seen in Adam's route. Adam and Owen are best friends and roommates and the two care about each other very much, even when they have serious fights. Owen seems to be protective of Adam as he was suspicious of the player at first and was afraid that she would use and hurt Adam.

Since they've been looking out for each other for years, they have a brother like friendship and attitude towards each other, especially since they live together. Owen used to date Fiona who, while they were dating, tried to get with Adam. This ended Owen's relationship with Fiona but Owen doesn't seem to hold resentment towards Fiona or Adam and is still friends with them, showing that Owen is understanding and sometimes mature towards Adam. The player was worried that Owen was trying to use her as a way to get back at Adam for Fiona trying to sleep with Adam when Owen was dating her, but Owen reassured her that it was nothing personal showing that he really doesn't have a grudge against him and got over it.

Adam and Owen eventually develop a complicated relationship though. Adam only started to date the player so he could get access into Carter Corp so that he could hack it for information for his group, Safeplanet, which Owen was apart of and knew about. However, Owen developed feelings for the player and started to like her and felt jealous of her and Adam's relationship. Because of this, and also because he felt bad for lying to the player, Owen revealed to the player that Adam was the one who hacked Carter Corp and was only using her much to Adam's fury. Adam and Owen got into a fist fight, but it was mostly just Adam punching Owen and Owen not really doing anything about it since he felt like he deserved it and didn't want to hit Adam back.

Adam and Owen's relationship seemed to change after they were fighting for the same girl, Owen still cared about Adam and didn't seem mad at either Adam or the player for being together, but was rather mad that he didn't meet the player first and was sad that he couldn't make her change her mind and even seemed mad that he felt that way about her in the first place. Owen admitted to the player that he told Adam that he wanted to be with her and was going to try to seduce her, but still didn't like seeing Adam hurt. Owen also doesn't like seeing the player hurt either and was able to get them back together by taking the player to Adam so she could calm him down and possibly get back together, which they did. It seemed to upset Owen but he was able to hide it for the sake of himself, but he told the player that he would still try to prove to her that she would be happier with him.

Even though Owen got Adam and the player back together due to his own empathy, he was still openly pursing the player and wanted her to choose him over Adam which annoyed Adam and always made him mad. If Adam saw Owen and the player talking he would intervene and not leave them alone together, especially after Owen and the player kissed at Derrick's apartment. Adam was furious at them but eventually forgave the two (but mostly the player), and anytime he would see them together, he would instantly get jealous and take the player somewhere else as he couldn't stand seeing them together. Adam doesn't seem to appreciate Owen's honestly and forwardness about wanting to be with the player and trying to get into a relationship with her, but it's not so much that he's honest about it, but rather that Owen feels that way for her in the first place.

Adam and Owen still remain friends even though they both love the same woman, which Owen constantly jokes about, saying that they have so much in common that they fall for the same girl, which doesn't amuse Adam. Despite this, they are able to overcome difficult obstacles in their friendship (even if it does put a damper on it) as the two don't mean any ill intent or harm towards each other, they know that they can't help the way they feel. Adam and Owen are still friends in Ryan's route, but the two are never seen fighting since they're minor characters, and also don't love the same woman.

In the second season of Colin's route, Adam and Owen own a surfboard business together in Montauk, New York and their business was a success. However, Adam breaks his business partnership with Owen in chapter 8 due to his drug addiction and became influenced from frequently taking medications and Owen abruptly leaves the shop and decided to start a surf shop business on his own.

Adam and Owen are overall very close friends that know how to overcome difficult times in their friendship. Owen sometimes comes off like he's a big brother to Adam, and looks out for him but messes with him and likes to challenge him, and Owen seemed to miss Adam in the bad ending where Adam was on the run from police and moved out. And Adam is shown to have a good heart towards Owen, as he still cares about and is friends with Owen, even though he was trying to steal his girlfriend, but Adam seemed to understand the way Owen felt since he loved the player too. The two didn't let a girl tear them apart though, because it was them who started the battle in the first place.
