In the first game it is said (at lest here) that Geoff and Callista are the only left members of the Curnow family. In the book, however, there's Geoff's son, Jameson, about the same age as Emily, thus born before the Rat Plague, which contradicts the statement from the game.

At the Reddit AmA the book author, when asked about this, said that Jameson was adopted by Geoff at some point, through in the book itself there's no information about the adoption. While it remains merely a speculation, I'm inclined to think that at first Geoff having a son at the time of the Plague was an oversight on Christopher's part, who just hadn't took that aforementioned line into account, but then he solved that contradiction by saying that Jameson was adopted some time after.

Through I may be wrong and Jameson was planned as Geoff's adopted child from the beginning, it is stated nowhere in the book. And there's quite a number of such small contradictions between the media (I have kind of list of those I found), through I think they are explainable lore-wise, like you just did.
