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.

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.

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.
