Bringing up the topic of money, why do we even get to pick from a choice of transport during some scenes? There are Dollar signs behind the different methods of transport, but does it even matter? So far there is no difference in terms of the route you take, nor the money you have. You just spend it, because the agency pays for it all. Just like a lot of other things, it is just there for the sake of being there. It isn't like one of the other life simulations where money is a thing. In this game in clearly has no impact whatsoever.
Whether the heroine gets to be a whore, is most likely not even worth a debate. It took us what? 4 or 5 updates from no longer starting out as a whore during training, but starting as a "barmaid" , getting fucked and filled up by her boss withput protection and now getting access to the back rooms. At that pace I expect the heroine to experience the brothel path within the next two updates. As someone already mentioned, it isn't even subtle. Whether or not that makes sense in order to get access to Devilfish is another point. Then again, maybe the only way you can interact with him is by becoming one of the whores that he uses every now and then and then endearing yourself to him in some way.
How all of that ties into an open world, freedom of movement or choice type scenario is beyond me. The again, bringing back the college stuff in a meaningfull way also seems unlikely. Let alone making sense of the different skills and kinks.
I like the game and the writing, but it seems to me that it wants to be some type of sexy Jane Bond spy novel on one hand and a life simulation p0rn game, where you are forced to be corrupted in order to achieve things. Right now both sides contradict each other.
