it's pretty mild and consistently tied to romance.
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.

Plus, it's been a while, so I don't recall if it was nightmares or phone calls, or something along these lines, but I distinctly remember the game hinted that the MC had some sort of dark past or some kind of inner darkness.

Well, I did specifically say "unless I'm forgetting about something". I also don't believe blackmail is even close to being an option for everyone. There are a couple of girls for sure, but I only remember it being an option for a few of them. I also don't remember seeing it all that often, but it's been quite awhile since I've played.

I don't think this has anything to do with the point, though. The MC having a dark past or inner demons doesn't mean you'll have options for darkness in the game. Technically, every character ever has some kind of inner darkness, in one way or another. They don't all [have options to] succumb to the darkness. Having said that, you are right: there are options that don't take things in a romantic direction. Like I said, I might have been forgetting some parts.

If i remember right Romance is lacking in this one. To me it's more like f*ck buddies or like friends with benefits The MC doesn't seem romantic towards any of them i mean sure he's a good guy for the most part but not romanticly involved with any of them that i remember.

I guess it depends on what you consider romance too. In my playthrough, the MC tells women he'll protect them (and then does so), says they should be treated better (and then treats them well), etc. So it also will depend on choices you make, then. But I'm only doing one playthrough and in mine it's pretty romantic IMO.
