The facts that unlocking Camila requires basically losing Kylie, and now that unlocking Kat requires losing out on some of the best Bree content, and not being able to get her to 100 sub (Intentionally, according to the dev) honestly annoys my completionist brain to no end.
Is there any active modding community members working on this game, and is a mod/cheat fixing these weird development choices possible? Or does is potentionally already exist?
Andrealphus, if you are reading this. I honestly would be supporting this game on the Patreon if it wasn't for these kinds of choices.
This game is obviously a power-fantasy for a majority of players, and that's fine. That's great. It's what the game and this genre does best. The player wants to feel powerful, wants to be rewarded to go out of their way to get all the characters, maxing out their stats and getting all their content.
So forcing these kinds of dilemas on players really only serves to make the experience worse, because the nagging feeling of "what if" is stuck in the back of your mind during the entire playthrough. And doing a whole different playthrough to get the missing characters/routes not only is a ton of work that I doubt more than a handful players will do, it STILL gives the same negative experience, because you are still missing out on content, making it impossible to experience it all.
It ruins the power fantasy.
It wouldn't take more than a single week to implement an alternate way of meeting Kat or Camila, or adding an option to get Kylie out of jail after meeting Camila, but it would make an astounding number of people more happy. Seriously, just search for Camila's name in this thread and see what practically all the topics of conversation about her have been about since her creation.
So I implore you, listen to reason. The playerbase is on your side, they love your game. Don't actively fight against them, when they say what they have been wanting for years.
