Oh wow, the only way to describe this VN is the word beautiful. The attention to detail, the stunning art and visuals, and to top it off, the writing and the lore are also good? 6 out of 5 stars.

(Sorry English is not my first language, so I might phrase things a bit off here and there.)
I think the character art is really good already, to me it looks like it was hand drawn on paper, which I think looks pretty cool, and it gives the VN a unique look. I also like the different lighting colors for each character (Maxewell - red, Eddie - blue, etc.), it gives them a certain mood. The one thing I would say is that the character art clashes with the current background images. I think even raw, black and white sketches would be enough as backgrounds, it would blend much better, and the characters would stand out even more.
(I personally do not think detailed background images add much to a VN, and often it might do more "harm" than good.)

"If someone doesn't use 2FA for whatever reason"
I actually use it whenever I receive a token via email and that is fine with me. I do not want to link my phone to this page, no offense but I would be embarrassed to do so :D
I would just like to have the email way of 2fa as an option. Currently the site randomly decides whether I should be sent a token or not, which does not make it safe at all. I guess I get these captcha challenges as I both use VPN and tor, as for me privacy is a top prio.
Anyway I guess I overreacted a bit, I usually just ignored this issue, but that last time it was quite literally close to 30 minutes to be able to login which I think anyone would agree is a bit frustrating.

It is insane that I have to take literally 30 minutes in captcha to be able to login into my account. I should not have to install yet another useless app on my phone for two-factor authentication, why cannot I just use my email to receive a one time token? I mean even after I struggle through yet another captcha marathon which in the end becomes very mentally darning (mostly due to frustration), then this stupid site after all that hassle, finally sends a token to make sure it is me. Why not do that in the first place? Because it would be logical?
Wow, this has great potential.
It gives me old-school/retro cyberpunk vibes.
The overall design looks great, again, very atmospheric just like your other game: Lone Wolf Nano.
The only criticism I can give when it come to the aesthetics, is that the standard RenPy choice menu is a little bit clashing with your otherwise very professional looking UI.
(I think just changing the font, would take it up a notch.)
The idea of how to find lost parts is inspiring.
It gave me a bunch of ideas who to think outside of the box when it comes to game design.
(Although, admittedly I am way too lazy to actually create something worthwhile 😆, but the point is that the experience did not end with the game itself, which is very cool in my opinion.)
I personally did not find the "romance" that rushed, as the MC himself explains it, is not real romance just yet, but mainly physical attraction. Plus, lets not forget that the MC is currently clinging to the only fix point in his "new life" (not counting Byte, since a "voice inside your head" cannot replace actual company), which is currently Loken.
This has to be one of my favorite VN.
Admittedly I am usually in for the lewds when it comes to this genre 😅, but here it is just a nice extra bonus, as the story itself is genuinely intriguing.
Both the art and writing is great, but I have to mention that the sound design complimenting everything beautifully, and often-wise the sound department where other (even otherwise good) VNs are usually lacking.
