I played further, and even with cheating it was still really grindy... I guess I can see the appeal of having your first employee be, shall we say, suboptimal? Emily is definitely a step up in my opinion, but corrupting the first girl has its charms.
Didn't get all the scenes, but after 2 hours of play I've sank enough of my time into it for now.
Looking forward to improvements, ironing out the persuasion (you can play for weeks apparently without triggering it, so you're just stuck grinding the same thing over and over...)
Also, for the girls, when you only have 1 option, why make you click the little tiny icon and then the single option? Just notify us that something happened unless there's a good reason to interact with it. Making us jump through hoops for no reason just makes the grind worse.
Also, try to link the picture with the girl you're actually focused on at the moment. For example if Kate has a problem, don't show the picture for Emily when you go to resolve it.
The game definitely has potential. Good renders, decent UI, etc... better than a lot of games we've seen on here.
