This game has potential, but in current time... BUGS! But this normal for firsts versions.
I will follow the development of the game, and if content continues to be added, i will become a patron

Welcome to the manager tier, MC!
Put them in your hind sight and make them drool for you!
You do not, hence the beauty of play and explore type of games.
Yup ... so many gurls and so little love for MC...

Hey guys.
As some of you pointed out, this is just the initial release.
In my mind "0.0.1" kinda hinted that the content would be limited, and that there would be bugs, potential loose ends, and things that would need to change and be improved. In case some people thought differently, well sorry to disappoint.
I'm obviously planning on improving things though....
Regarding what was said and what I'm working on:
-BUGS : I'm planning a quick update in the next few days, not to add content but to fix issues, so please, if you encounter a bug and if you have a minute to spare, try to tell me what happened (eg. "after talking to Lara in the office I end up in the warehouse" ), or what seemed weird or try posting a screen capture in case of a missing image, not just "It's a bug mess." That would help.
-GRINDING : It's not as bad as it seems, or at least it's not intended to be: I think the problem is mostly that the log quest doesn't always tell you what to do.
I'll be working on that.
The like and dislike points were originally designed to be just that, however I'm currently changing the way it works so that it's more like some sort of balance with events changing based on the like/dislike ratio.
eg: If you're constantly toxic to someone, chances are that she won't ask you out.
- CHEATING: The cheating function (click the lighthouse in your office) removes all need to eat, sleep, relax, or earn money. However the counters don't update right away. If the lighthouse is lit in red, it means it's working. If you think the game is too grindy, this might ease it a little.
-CONTENT : As of right now (initial release and all...), the content is limited, though I tried to give a sense of what it might look like in the future.
For example, you can only agree to a date with Lara, but you can't date her yet, you can only finger Leah, Alice's conference never happens... etc.
Also, someone asked if blackmail and things like that were optional. It is. You can be nice and never do anything "wrong" if you don't want to. However, the romance content is currently even more limited.
In the upcoming update:
-You'll be able to chose the name of MC in the next update. However, the way the game is built means you'll need to restart the game. Better now than in a year though... This change might result in occasional bugs related to the name change. I haven't encountered any so far but you never know.
-The incest content will be changed a bit (b/c patreon). Leah won't be your sister. Unless you tell her she is when given the option.
-You won't be stuck forever in the warehouse with Bobby
-I removed the infamous small pox shower renders of Audrey and Brenda.
-I'll try to fix other little bugs you tell me about.
In the next update:
-The main goal will be to streamline the content, so that you know what to do.

TL;DR :
-It's 0.0.1, so I need to work on stuffs obviously. Content is limited right now.
-Next update will be up in a few days. You'll be able to change MC's name. A few others things will be corrected.
-Next next update will focus on streamlining content.

Forget about the lockpicks for now, I'll remove them in the next update. I'll put them back in a later update.

I appreciate the work you're putting in as well as your willingness to discuss the issues in the game on this forum.
For me, the issue is that one can get lost so easily (I've spent lots of time with that sick clown and still have no idea what's going on) in the quests. Some games need walkthroughs and, boy, is this ever one.
I know that sandbox games are not everyone's cup of tea; I usually don't mind them if they don't meander and leave one groping for ideas of what to do. This does both. Add to that bugs and, frankly, rather clunky mechanics and it can be problematic. That said, it looks to be eminently fixable without blowing the whole game up. You might want to take a look at what Hachi ("Hail Dicktator") has done. It wouldn't work for your game -- the set up is too different -- but it does show how one can make a sandbox so intuitive and a hint system so clean that a walkthrough is not even a question.
I abandoned this game after stumbling about for a few hours and accomplishing very little. But. The premise is good and the story has merit (my opinion). After your comments above, I'm going to stick with it. Give you a chance to take what feedback you find useful and come up with some new ideas. You could have a pretty good game here if you can get it on track.
Good luck.
