Pre-CBT 1 build information
Now, I've been sitting on these for quite a while already. I posted about them in one of the older megathreads, told myself "I'll make a proper post with them later", got lazy and forgot.
These are all from a development build of the game that predates the first closed beta test. They may be from multiple different builds. I don't know the dates or anything, I was just given these pictures.
Because they're so early, they have a lot of older concepts in them.

Various In-Game Screenshots
Tutorials and many other images. These all come from different stages of the game's development, ranging from very very early on, to a build very close to CBT1. The original gacha system was accessible from within the game world by using a telephone. Artwork of Makoto Nijima from Persona 5 is used as early placeholders for the chapter select. Notably, TV mode looked very different, with a grittier/grungier aesthetic. It appears Anby was the very first character to have a 3D model, as she's a placeholder for everything, including NPCs. You can also see elements of an early UI, including different kinds of gacha currency.
You can't see it here, but by the filenames of the pictures, ZZZ's working name was GalGame. There will be links to a zipped up file containing all this stuff in reply to AutoMod, so you can check yourself there.
UI Elements
Various covers for story chapters at different stages of development. You can still see the Makoto placeholders.
Spoiler Character?
This character that looks like an odd cross between Anby and S11 was present among the images, and I didn't include them last time to prevent a Sam = Firefly situation, but now that we're getting an Anby-centric storyline I figure it's fine. This character, I was told, has a different ID from S11 and Anby, so she can't really be a concept for either of them.
