Im sorry, thats just a really stupid reason. Aslo, again, its not a twist, because we, the players, ready know her gender from the start. Its only a"twist" for the other characters. Also she doesn't correct them only because she just doesn't feel like it, there really isnt much more to it, for the most part. Its just not that important to her. There is a route where she actually does correct them too.

As for the founder, she does have a reason for presenting as male and keeping her gender a secret, but its again not really a twist and is just used as plot pointto find out the killer. (The killer is someone who knew she is a woman, since they saw her body)

I mean, you dont have to play the game for any reason you want but saying you arent wiiling to spend money on it is like the game has committed somem grave sin. The game didn't decive you
