The developers of this did a lot of press pieces basically saying that they had trouble getting someone to partner up with publishing funds due to having a female lead.

I really wonder if it wasn't that as much as the squick factor:
"So we're doing a game with an amnesic female terrorist who is following what the voices tell her to do."
"Okay, we're already bored.  Amnesic leads are done to death.  Also terrorists don't play well with our marketing data.  Can she be a freedom fighter or revolutionary or something more pertinent?"
"Wait, wait, we haven't gotten to the good part.  She has a special skill."
"Alright?"
"She can edit people's memories.  It's a big part of the game is she changes how people remember things around her.  Or sometimes wipes their memories clean out!  Like she makes people believe their loved ones are dead and gets them on her side."
"So she rapes their minds?  This is a terrorist mind-raper game?"
"Well, I wouldn't put it like that."
"Please leave our conference room.  We're done here."
Well, Goodbye.

Really?  It looked kind of meh, to be honest.

I think they also had some moves that were pre-order only or something silly.
Hangin' out backstage, waiting for the show.
