This is a wildly hateful game and contains a lot of things that make zero sense.
First, the nonsense: You were a bigwig at a Fortune 500, implying that you had an MBA, but you teach Philosophy? And you're the school counselor? That is three very different disciplines. And your college has a "vice principal?" And someone can get arrested for drinking in private even though they are 21? That's not how any of this works. I'm not sure if it's a translation issue, or if this developer is just very young and has no idea how college or careers work, but it is strange.
Now the hateful: I only played this game for about five minutes and ran into sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia. And it's not subtle stuff like dog whistles, nor is it "just a joke" stuff like you might see on South Park. It's pretty vile honestly. An example from the opening prologue - MC got fired for sexual harassment but the dev writes it as though the woman just hates men and was out for blood. Let me be really clear on this: No, if a woman doesn't want to be groped by a co-worker in the office, that does not make her a "lesbian with rabies" and I am genuinely terrified of anyone who thinks otherwise.
To top it all off, the models aren't even very attractive. Their faces are often stretched to inhuman proportions. Plus, there are a ton of dream sequences. Dear lord if there has ever been a more overused hacky trope in these games than dream sequences, I don't know what it is.
