New Characters that already exist: "You".

Given the definite lack of men and then always fun addition of more women, I guess my question would be why haven't you made use of this idea?

Make the unused Player Character be a new character at the Party. It's not hard to see it happening, and it wouldn't be hard to implement now that the front door mechanic has been introduced.

Conversations with either Brittney or Derek would allow for getting to the point of them inviting their friend.

Female MC would bring the new shirt, Brittney would leave the office on her own. This lets you have Brittney available for Amy's Quest without needing to fail Stephanie's. Unique opportunities for romantic options with Amy and Brittney based on already established plotlines on the Female MC path. As well as possibly a Stephanie offshoot since you can now succeed in her quest with Brittney being out of the room.

Male MC would be the wingman to the female MC, as well as being there for opportunities with Derek such as getting "stories from the past", having someone to help calm Derek down after the Artsy Fartsy quest, and can even lead into a 3 way scene with Derek as well. Could also work with getting into a situation with Madison as you convince the Male MC to help you seduce her in exchange for joining in.

This provides you with two "new" characters, new stories to create, new versions of existing stories and the ability to create shared experiences that involve both main characters.

For instance, Male MC doesn't want to blow Patrick for the key? Ask your new friend for some help.
Female MC needs to get a condom from Frank, Male MC takes one for the team.

This would also give some canon backstory to our characters and make them feel like they're really part of the world, rather than just being blank slates for us to control.
