Maybe it wasn't used because it could have been misread orsi instead of orki.

Android generally means a robot designed to look and act like a human (the word literally means "in the image of man"), but it doesn't have to be an exact match.
Traditionally, android was mostly just used to differentiate between a "robot" (which can look like anything, whether a giant factory arm, a dog, a box on wheels, or a giant mechanical octopus) and robots that had a more humanoid look (two arms, two legs, a torso and a head, roughly of a shape that could probably fit into human clothes, and with some attempt to replicate facial features).
An android doesn't really need artificial skin or other near-human appearance that allows it to mostly blend in. Characters like C-3PO in Star Wars or the female robot from Metropolis would still generally be considered androids even though it's extremely obvious that they're not human (or organic at all). The idea that androids would look almost perfectly human (like, say, Data from Star Trek or Vision from Marvel) was a more recent interpretation of the concept.
But because different people use the term in different ways to mean different things at different times, it's definitely hard to point to one specific definition of the word and say "THIS IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE MEANING." So you're not necessarily wrong if you think androids should look almost fully human. But someone else who thinks all they really need to do is look humanoid (like the picture that started this whole discussion) isn't necessarily wrong either.
Look on the bright side - you could be one of us sick fucks who actually tried to investigate and solve the mystery, and thus wound up not having sex with a love interest at all.

Probably some one asked before. But as a male, I would love to select bi-sexual woman, and then I go after everyone I like. The renders are already there, you just got to mix them in the pictures.

You can't have more than one LI anyway, so replay with lesbian or straight MC depending on which LI you want (you know it after a first playthrough)
And Tlaero will never write a harem game. So if that's what you are looking for, you are wasting your time here.Damn.... no harem... what a waste...
It was just a joke...
I was just going through the pictures, didn't notice, you can only go after one...

Great game so far. Man that purple liquid stuff is terrifying to think about having to inhale.
My only gripe so far is it's sometimes hard to tell who is speaking, since this game is written more like a book than a play (like 95% of other VNs on this site).

You can see real acting in The Abyss about someone inhaling liquid oxygen.
