So by doing that Im just locking away most of the content? Whats the point of allowing to do that?
Hard mode?
I wrote those branching paths as part of the first release, when I thought making a game would be much less time consuming, and I would have plenty of time to do both romance and mind control in the same game, along with everything else. Ah, to be young and naive again.
Back to the present: the game is unfinished, obviously. Fighting the drug dealer gives you a head start on romance with either Meg & Sara or Kait. Of course, then you've handicapping yourself by not being able to +rom with the pill. Romance numbers are definitely something I'm looking at tweaking to make less grindy and make the drug-free path more playable. Taking/using the pill may also have story repercussions down the line.
All of this will shake out in future updates, in the mean time I figured since I already have the scenes in the game I should provide renders for them.
