Since the patch is the current topic, I have a question. Can saves exist concurrently for both clone and family runs? I've tried this with other patched games and it made a mess of saves.
Thanks!

Yes and no. The patch state isn't saved.
For Season 1 the patch changes your loaded game to the patched state. F.e. if you saved a patched game and you load it once you removed the patch, the save becomes unpatched (once loaded), without modifying the save file.
For Season 2/3 it's even easier. The saves are patch-agnostic, so you can change the patch state during runtime. That means that, if you play patched but want to see the alternative unpatched scene, you only need to go to the main menu, change the Family/Clone button, and your game will recognize it and act accordingly (it will need to change the image on the screen to react to it, though, but that's a Ren'py limitation).
The same applies to the gallery. You played, f.e., Scarlett's reveal scene where she isn't MC's half-sister (because you play the unpatched version), but you want to see the other scene. It's as easy as going to the main menu (with the patch installed to enable the button), changing the patch state (Family/Clone), and going to the gallery to see the alternative scene.
that both versions are enjoyable by whomever prefers either version. No kink shaming, if you prefer it unpatched, so be it, enjoy your game.
