Dream Sequence Tips

• Don't be afraid to fail the dream sequence multiple times. There are no long-term consequences except for minor stat boosts after several attempts.
• Use 'relax' when Rae slips away or flickers out of vision, and 'ignore him/her' if you hear a man's voice or feel a hand grabbing your shoulder while Rae is okay.

Combat Strategies

• Rae follows a predictable pattern: she starts with one of the first three combos, then selects from the second list, and finally chooses randomly from all options. Use good defenses on the last (fourth) strike to minimize damage.
• To counter lunges and overhead strikes effectively, practice specific moves that work against these attacks.
• Parry the first two attacks, block for overhead and side attacks, deflect for thrusts. For stronger third and fourth attacks, dodge by sidestepping thrusts or jumping back from swings.
• After dodging strong attacks, counter with quick attacks to maintain balance and stamina. Heavy attacks can destabilize your stance, making defense harder in the next round.
• Maintain stamina carefully; if it reaches zero, you lose the fight. Rest between rounds when stamina is low.

Progression Tips

• Reach level 2 by accumulating experience points from combat losses. Leveling up significantly increases HP and stamina.
• Engage in day encounters to progress the story further, such as offering ice cream to Rae which can boost relationship points.
• The primary progression route becomes clearer after version 0.3, with walkthroughs focusing on secret scenes and alternative routes.
• For version 0.2.3, the fight should be easier due to a smaller combo list but similar attack/defense mechanics.

Feedback on Game Mechanics

• Combat mechanics are currently frustrating due to random attack patterns and high difficulty. Consider skipping combat or making it easier for a better experience.
• The dice game and other mini-games become repetitive after several attempts, leading to boredom.
• Consider joining the Discord server for updates and notifications about new posts.
• Engage with character interactions by spending time together, having breakfast, watching TV, and finding favorite items like ice cream.
