To be fair, I doubt the dev had much of a plan before, as someone with a whole story laid out wouldn't just abandon it so early like that. And while I can't 100% confirm that's what happened, given the whole brothel thing was removed, it's safe to assume the backlash was what got the game remade.
And while I'm also not a fan of having prostitutes as LIs, it would at least be something to shake the status quo, which this current build desperately needs. If your whole story is gonna boil down to "getting closer to girls", you need damn solid writing skills to make that interesting, which this dev clearly doesnt have.
You can still check the old build under "season 1". The game's description is also a leftover.
