This is some high-quality stuff. Great work.
And I say that not even having played the game "properly". As usual, my first playthrough consisted of rejecting everybody. Because that's how you find inconsistencies, by walking the path the dev least expects. So here's what I found:
The line: "Also, the rest of the city seems almost exclusively populated by women. The bartender at Twins, Eileen, Maddie, Sophie, Alexia, Simone, Samantha..." can be awkward, as it's possible to not have encountered Maddie and/or Alexia.
Similarly, unless I'm mistaken, MC only finds out Alexia's first name after the bathroom beating, so if you avoided that, MC shouldn't mention her first name to Jamaal when he tells him about going to the police station. (He mentions getting her card, but I don't think that happens after the fight in front of the café. The easiest fix would be to have her give him her card during that scene.)
Also, Simone's path, after you first reject her, prominently features the idea that there are other girls the MC wants to be with. Of course, if you rejected everyone up to that point, that feels really out of place.
When running into Alexia and Eileen at the lake, Alexia remarks something like, "He's with her, too?" implying she also knows about MC having multiple relationships.
Besides these, there is really only one thing that irks me. It seems that "Mom" is never capitalized (besides when it's the first word of a sentence), though most of the time it should be. The rule is, words like Mom, Dad, etc are capitalized when they replace the person's name. You'd write "This is my mom." but "Shut up, Dad."
Anyway, now to actually enjoy the game. I wish you much success, dev.
