Well - I spent entirely WAAYY too much time on this, but for some reason I got hooked into the old grind mindset and just HAD to see if I could get all the scenes. Think I did, but had to start making different save folders for the different paths. There are a bunch, and they all have variants, and to be sure to get everything gets a bit grindy (how many shower scenes and car animation do I have to power through? How much more useless walking - and fighting)? But - with the variations of Blue dead/defeated (accept blackmail) or defeated/arrested along with Michael accepted/rejected (that's the start) and then add on the Mason paths, Lucifer paths, pusher paths (alright - that one's pretty straightforward) and John Doe plus Lt Storm, which fights to win and which to lose - there's lot of shit going on. At least this isn't one where you only get scenes if you lose - there are benefits to actually winning fights as well.
There has to be a way to continue the story without losing all these possible branches - or maybe just a few, or it will quickly become impossible to develop coherently - UNLESS this is a genius dev who has a clear path already mapped and will blow us away - here's hopin'

Oh - I was going to add - look up a younger Sandra Bullock in a cop outfit from 20 years ago - there are remarkable similarities...
So how does the pregnancy work in this game? Is it like a status or an ending? Can MC be knocked up multiple times? These are things I must know....
It's just not implemented yet. There are some CGs in the game files, that's all for now.
It is, globally. The main part I have an issue with at the moment is the overly complicated branching that does not seem to add a real value to the game (for now it's just struggling to find the good choices combo in order to reach one small scene), even more so considering that RPGM is not very good in term of replayability... (and by not good I mean it's one of the worst thing possible).
So when (if?) this gets completed one day, I'll play it once and then extract the CGS to see what I missed...

Save before you enter the store, to save some time. Then I use kicks until I can use the gun and then use that as a special attack.
It doesn't work every time

I can understand the premise of a 27 year old virgin that looks like this character. She is a dedicated police officer, who might put her career and physical fitness first.
Throw in some parenting issues, maybe overly religious or overbearing parents? Maybe regret from what she did in college, based on what the informant said about her past?
Maybe also poor social skills? Blame it on an odd translation to English, but as presented she doesn't communicate well.

I hope he allows you to save shorter to fights in the future (or autosaves right as a fight triggers).Save before you enter the store, to save some time. Then I use kicks until I can use the gun and then use that as a special attack.

Very annoying to have to go trough 5 minutes of shit you already saw to be able to move to the alternative flow of the story. Took me 4 tries to win the first scene because my kicks and gunshots were all misses. To then have the Drug dealer and huge guys crit and die in two hits.
I also wish he did keep the natural bimbo looks but toned down the boobs just a little bit. In some scenes she's channelling original Tomb Raider Lara Croft in giant blocky tittyness..
Not going to happen. Unrealistic tits seems to be big a fetish as incest.

This game is a paragon of what good writing should be. She doesn't become stultified after a week. The writing is solid. The animations are a little bit shit, I say to the dev, don't do them if they're gonna be like this. Your strength is the sheer creativity of dialog, pace, characterisation, and scenario writing.
