Hello.
At first, I thought it was a spin off from Life of Desmond but it's totally different. And for a demo, it's very interesting and you're really good at finding new ideas to explore similar themes.
The worldbuilding is already well thought even if some places aren't available yet.
The characters are plenty and different. Sadly, your two male friends disappeared after the prologue outside the lunch room.
The story is short for now so, outside the evolution of the MC, it's not really clear where you want to take us.
Your art is still improving. The map is well made but the locations are too close. You should use every inch of the map for them. Also, the fonctions at the bottom aren't visible while on the map (and other locations too). You should use a color visible on white and black or make it so that the color become black when the background is clear (I don't know if it's possible though). The mother is too similar to miss Esperanza and your boxing partner with Jaeden. If you use the same models, try do make them a little different. The trainer seems a little too much.
The first quest was amusing to complete though I think there should be more than 4 ways to do it from the stats, the transformations and the interactions with Billy.
The JustFans icon disappear when you play a game.
The lunch room scene shouldn't take all the time for the morning (you should plan a time period for lunch and diner if you want to put in meal scenes).
The image of training with Arnold the trainer didn't change after transforming to male. The same if you beat Billy with punchs while normal (fight = 10) and transform the night after, when you give the flute to Alice you're still normal though you should be muscular.
The name of the cashier should appear after the first time since she introduced herself. And the dialog for the working option should also change since she already knows what you can do and why you want to do it. There should be different customers, not always the same one.
There should be other people in the transport scene (depending the time).
The cashier (Mathilda), the pharmacist and the banker should react differently the first time you transform like your mother, Arnold the trainer, master Olivia or Alice.
The pharmacist always says :

whatever your appearance is.
There should be some hints while you take the transforming products (dreams, headache, pain, libido, other symptoms). It shouldn't be "bang" I suddenly transform 10 days later (like some magic trick). And once transformed, do we have to continue the medication otherwise it reverses or it's permanent?
I'm also interested in the people in the car after being saved from the molester.
You've done a great job with the english in this game.
As always, those are just my thoughts, hoping to be helpful.
Good continuation.
So, I check a little the game and I try to answer you:
- For the similar characters, when I start this game (two years ago) Life of Desmond was dying, nobody was interested, and it was almost abandonned. So i try to made an another game more complexe, and I use a lot of thing to "Life Of..." for "All about" But suddenly, the "Life Of Desmond's"popularity grow up. And I'm go back to work on it. I choose keep some characters because, I like them... The character I really want to change, is the MC (at the base it was "Joshua"!)
Considere it's a multiverse ^^.
- In the Map the location are compact because, I keep place for antoher.
- For the fonction not so visible, I don't know if it's possible to change it, I need to check on internet (i'm still learning about renpy)
- for the first quest, they are actualy 2 way for each MC to solve it, fight for all and one more exclusive at each transformation.
- Your friend will be back soon, don't worry.
- for the just fan icon who disapear , I already fix that for the next update.
- for the wrong pics at the gym if you are muscular, icheck and fixe that (bad name pics, thanks copy/paste)
- for the bug "if you beat Billy with punchs while normal (fight = 10) and transform the night after, when you give the flute to Alice you're still normal though you should be muscular." It's because you do something I didn't think about it... when you solve the quest the game save the way you use and after the game use this save for talk to Alice...
I just work on it, I think I solve this bug.
- for the name of the cashier, it's done, now when you know her name, the name are show.
- I change the dialogue if you have already work in the market.
- for the fast change, I know it's like a "bang" (it's why this 2 medicine are miraculous ^^) honestly, I want a smother way too, I thinking on it... but like you can imagine it's a long work to do this slowly.
- for alternative pics with different peoples or situation (in subway,at the market etc), I work on it, it's come in a later update. (I have already end an event in the subway with the MC in "Girl".
- for atlernative dialogue when you change the MC, idem, I work on it for more peoples.
- the "Miss" bug for the pharmacist it's an error I already know and fixed for the next update.
- the people in the car, will be back I promise^^ They are important for the futur.
- for now, when you have change, it's done! You don't need to continue, and you can't go back regular, but if you have muscular, you can become girl, idem if you be a girl you can become muscular. I offer more possibilities at the futur.
To finish, like I said to someone here before, It was just a little technic demo, I know it's short, and they are some facilities. ^^
But I have a lot of ideas, and I still learn to make the game I want, a game or you can do what you want.
I appreciate a constructive comment like yours, It's help me a lot.
