As someone solely attracted to women (and sometimes nonbinary peeps) I can understand the disappointment of not having a female-presenting love interest. However, this game is an absolute diamond for friendship. I can truly say that I don't feel left out or that I have had a "lesser" experience of the game because I became best friends with Cove. Sure, I miss a few CGs, but I personally don't mind. I encourage you to enjoy the friendship route if you haven't already - it's golden.
