Humm, I wouldn't put it like that. Don't get me wrong, my MC is a White Knight all the way, so I wouldnt know details, but isn't blackmail a consistent option in this game? At least for Maria, and that asian intern chick, I know you can follow that path. Now I don't know how "hardcore" it gets, or if the game follows the "girl eventually falls in love with her abuser" trope, but I certainly woudn't say it's all romance in this game.
