Notes -
I think you might have incorporated a lot more Deus Ex 1 into your plot than you think. The ending choice is very similar and there are other similarities such as the 3 act structure, the loyalty twist where the main character discovers that their organization is evil and flips sides, etc. (also it features the wearing of trenchcoats and indoor sunglasses at night)
Deus Ex is a foundational cyberpunk property and if you're too young to have played it in 2000 it still holds up after you use a graphical overhaul mod on it.
It's hard to tell because of the graphics tech, but JC's and Paul Denton's eyes are supposed to be unnaturally (luminescently?) blue as a side-effect of their augmentations, not just an ordinary blue. The sunglasses aren't to keep moonlight out, they're to keep JC from looking inhumanly creepy when he interacts with the public. There's an in-game text about a similar problem with the "Men in Black" agents: "... we are still continuing our attempts to isolate the source of the albino traits present ever since the Series L, but so far the simple addition of sunglasses and dark clothing appear to have resolved the matter in a practical fashion..."
The trenchcoats are just because trenchcoats look cool.
