Game Basics

• It's a roguelite where you have X days to reach Wisdom level 15. Each day involves exploring multi-floor 'libraries' similar to Vampire Survivors.
• The game is currently in early access, with some features like the gallery not functioning as intended.

Progression and Paywall

• To progress past Wisdom level 6, you need items that are locked behind a paywall.
• Save files are essentially reset after each loop; they do not carry over meaningful progression between loops.
• Completing stages increases your WIS cap, which may have been a feature in earlier patches but seems to be non-functional currently.
• To maximize Oil gains from the ass-gacha, pull beads one at a time instead of doing full pulls for exponential returns.
• It is currently impossible to reach wisdom level 15, as the game's progression caps at a lower level.
• Each character has only one scene available in their room, except for two characters who have additional scenes accessible through other means.
• Additional scenes can be viewed by completing the 'girls stories' section, which provides alternative ways to progress and unlock content.

Boss Strategies

• For the final boss, hug the wall from the opposite side it stands to cheese the fight. This strategy requires patience and specific item setups, such as 5 regular blue knockback hands.
• Avoid getting caught by the boss near the arena 'Tips' area; this can trap you if not checked at the start of each round.
• The whiplash hand is currently bugged for high boss damage due to incorrect hitbox disappearance at the end of its swing.
• For general purpose, non-bugged hands, consider using the red AoE hand (Kawa-whatever) as it works well in various scenarios.
• For the pink boss, hide behind a pillar in a small arena. Once trapped, he can be defeated easily.
• The blue boss has extremely low health and can be dispatched by walking over traps or using general movement skills.
• The stone boss is easy with at least one jump hand; simply jump over scissor edges to avoid damage.
• The final jumping 'puzzle' boss requires strategic use of white platforms and enemy red penises for quick kills.

Technical Tips

• Adjusting settings like brightness can improve visibility and gameplay experience. Turning off certain options may help with visual clarity.
• Pressing the -> or D key starts boys' thrusting rather than the normal confirm button.
• To trigger bed animations, check event scenes mentioned in the original post that may have been missed.
• To beat the 9th floor of all regular areas within the first cycle, start a new segment after each boss without switching menus.
• If you fail to complete spelling at 'X' marked spots, continue from the next level.
• Lost boss levels can be retried infinitely with enhanced hands and refreshed traps.

Game Mechanics

• HPUP increases health, KBUP affects knockback but not bosses, LMTUP raises the cap for your fetishes, DLYUP may affect stagger from red AoE hand attack and tentacle traps strength.
• SPDUP reduces attack cooldowns and naturally speeds up attacks with fewer active hands equipped. MOVUP makes you move faster, possibly related to i-frames after being hit or reach.
• In the story memory tab, unlocking scenes in certain school departments does not automatically change them when you visit those areas. You must manually switch scenes on and off.
• Random scenes appear in the cache ball department without a clear pattern or trigger.
• Fetish modes involve specific triggers for each fetish type. For example, using tentacle traps or getting hit by enemies can provide an orgasm buff.
• Witches appearing in levels are linked to certain events where your character's hands become stuck until they drop papers. To make the witch disappear, you need to defeat her on each floor level.
• Papers dropped by witches may serve a specific purpose but their exact function is unclear and not immediately apparent.
• Equip the first heart (grey) to constantly raise your 'horniness' level, which increases damage dealt.
• Minimize movement and look for small openings where only your feet can fit to avoid enemy attacks.
• Sit down at marked 'X' spots to gain a 'pokeball'. The higher your level, the faster you'll receive it.
• If an arena is close to the rim, use arena expansion items or grab books to extend the space.

Progression Tips

• Start with the green hand (long, piercing) and later add the yellow jump hand.
• At higher levels, aim for defensive red hands (circling) and double blue hands for maximum efficiency.
• Avoid combining non-jumping hands like red and double blue until you can effectively hold them.
