Just noticed that if you go PSY: when you drop of your dad's laptop at JJ's store, you get locked out of helping Lilly with the backroom clean up, even though it is still daytime, leaving you nothing to do besides napping (if you already did the rest) Then the next day, you can't let JJ repair Amy's laptop (if you did the Baron's dinner previous night) because he was stuck on fixing your dad's one. And again the store gets locked out for further progression on Amy or Lillies path while daytime. You can't visit Amy and mom that day either because her laptop isn't fixed (which is a bit weird because why would you not visit your sister+mom in the hospital anyway)
Now, having things get bumped up the path isn't so bad, but if you add optional events in the mix, you will get stuck with a lot of missed content in a play through because of doing the wrong order of things and the only way to get to the juicy parts of the game will be with a detailed walk through or constantly having to resort to save-scumming or starting new games which still leaves you with the risk of losing out on content because it gets hard to keep track of all choices. Having choices then starts to work against the player and that just isn't fun.
