Oh, well, as far as game expectations are concerned, what is appealing for some people is a deterrent for others.

I've just started the game, I'm playing with the walkthrough and cheatmods. Whenever I get to the choosing someone for the party the game breaks and tells me there's missing files.

Because you want to tell a futuristic noir story in a world of megacorporations and cool tech, and you've already established yourself as a porn/adult game developer?
I can see the appeal of exotic scenes that show off the full capabilities of a setting in which the meat is optional and tech is king. On the other hand, for the most part I think that's going to be a somewhat niche kink for a lot of people, so it wouldn't really be broadening the audience to focus heavily on it. Plus, it probably would take away from the noir flavor of most relationships to some degree, which is probably a large part of why the dev's not overly interested in exploring that angle. That being said, there've been at least a few nods in that direction as well.
Of course you're deterred, if you expect to not like something. But how is that relevant? Wouldn't you just never touch a game, if you expect to not like it?
Should all porn games be genreless to please as many patrons as possible? Would you put a game in a post-apocalyptic setting, but then never have any tragedies, because that would kill your patron's vibe and make them unsub?
But wouldn't it be nice, if the sex scenes weren't tacked on, but followed the theme of the rest of the game. This would showcase artistic vision and skill.
I don't think sexy cyber girls are all that niche and cyberpunk is pretty popular in general. Noir detective stories are also a staple of the genre. The noir style of the game shows that Phillygames has the knowledge and skill to handle cyberpunk. It's just the sex scene that are a little lacking in that regard imo.

It is funny see how I should agree with everything you have written, because I don't really love the use of psychic powers and mutants to put in a sci-fy story some fantasy contents. But in the end I can only disagree with everything you are writing, because I think you are missing the point: the people plays this game because Phillygames is one of the best developer (if not the best) in this site and he was able to create a setting for this game so coherent, that the story doesn't has any weak point and practically all the gamers are happy for what they are playing.
Maybe some gamers aren't happy because they have a more orthodox vision of the genre or because they have some specific kinks (me no), but this his the Phillygames game and he has all the rights to decide what story tell, what setting use and what contents put in it; exactly like we have all the right to decide to play his games or not, to support him or not.

Hm... Two questions:
1. You said 'cheatmods'. Are you using several mods? Because I usually don't recommend that.
2. Which download site did you use? It could be that there's an incomplete version somewhere.

You cannot have shades and darkness in sex scenes ... you will miss all the action.

Right no its just the one cheatmod and the scrappy walkthrough mod that's compatible with it. As for downloads I used the torrent.
I would be very helpful if you could share the error you're getting.
(btw, the cheatmod will not cause such issue, the walkthroughmod could (because is changes gamefiles))

Fix it yourself, ask mod dev to fix it, or find someone else to fix it

Is there an option to ignore the error? Because that might work.
