Romance options in this game?

[psionyx]

So I've played and restarted the game without completing it a few times, and down at least 2 Drive tracks, it really felt like the game was setting up for a romance option for the player.

Is this actually in the game? Or am I just expecting one because video game? Considering the context, and the fact that there is one male and another female that seem to be flirting with Sleeper, I'm guessing it's the former. Specifically the npcs of Lem and Tala

Specifically with Tala , I got to a point that felt a LOT like a scene where a budding relationship would start, but then nothing actually happened. Not sure if I didn't choose the right dialogue option, or if it's just not there at all.

I don't think there's any romance specifically.

Our sleeper is an imperfect and incomplete copy of the original person to such an extent that they can't even remember their gender among most other of their human aspects. Maybe that was even intentional, since there's no need for any extra baggage and complications for expendable corporate drones.

Still - you get to meet and befriend a whole slew of colorful characters and make genuine personal connections with them.

Yes i know i get to meet people, I'm just asking if there were actual romance options in the game, based on some of the not-so-subtle hinting language some of the npcs use. and I'm not even talking about a physical relationship, it just felt like, at one point talking to Lem, and one point talking to Tala, that the conversation could've gone into a more intimate direction.

As far as I know, there isn't. I didn't feel it like a loss, the story doesn't need it.

There are no romance options.
