General Gameplay Tips

• The game can be enjoyable but challenging due to vague hints. Look for subtle clues rather than expecting explicit instructions.
• Ensure you explore all areas thoroughly as there may be additional content or interactions that are not immediately obvious.

Character Progression

• To progress with Jenny and Lina, get her to give you a book about a nerdy girl and ask about it. This can lead to further interactions such as Alex showing up and luring Jenny away.
• For the final achievement 'The Beginning', check the character screen after completing a loop. Look for additional hints or clues.
• To maximize love points with Alex, interact with her multiple times throughout the weekend without engaging in overly intimate activities on Saturday night. On Sunday noon, talk to Sami and choose 'They seem like a hassle' for an apology.
• To get Lina's Nerve to level 4 before showering with Alex, complete the following tasks: Bite Jenny during the prey unlock, kiss Jenny after watching a horror movie on Saturday (requires the prey unlock), let Sami accidentally excite you during the horror movie, receive an 'ass job' from Alex, and masturbate while watching porn with Alex.

World Corruption

• Achieving world corruption levels is crucial for unlocking certain events and interactions. Ensure you have completed all necessary steps to reach the required level.
• Some achievements may require specific character interactions, such as Lin instigating a make-out session with you and her wife.
• The game's balance has been adjusted by removing heavy weapons, which some players find more manageable without the artillery.

Loop Progression

• During loops, double-check corruption levels by going through key areas or events that impact the world state.
• When interacting with Sami at the lake, choose options like 'They seem like a hassle' to progress further in the storyline.

Character Interactions

• To trigger the pron date with Alex, initiate a conversation about boundaries during the shower scene and then suggest watching porn together. Choose 'stop' when fingering her to avoid getting too intimate.
• The sleep date will overwrite the pron date if it occurs after the pron date. This is intended behavior as per the game's narrative.

Achievements

• To achieve the titty monster feat, ensure Alex has both corruptions unlocked and in use. Follow this sequence: 'You don't have to worry' -> Take the bags -> Turn away -> Select LISA on map -> Give Lisa a hug -> Hug Alex -> Select ALEX on map -> What's been up with you? -> I wanted to see your tits -> Faster -> That felt great -> You look good like this -> I believe you currently are. Repeat similar steps for the second encounter.
• To unlock the achievement 'The Beginning: Meet someone that doesn't exist', go to the character select menu at the end of a loop and look for a hidden button at the bottom of the list.
