How does the Escape Chance system work?

The Escape Chance (formerly Luck) system works on a scale of 1 to 10. A score of 10 or higher guarantees an instant success, making Kyrsten 'un-grab-able'. Scores below 10 still allow for failure based on dice rolls. Arousal and Corruption do not affect the Escape Chance.

Game Versions and Content

• Version 0.0.1 (A) was released alongside the Demo, focusing on the tutorial area and basic combat in The Manor.
• Version C introduces a new Character Corruption system replacing the Relationship system, allowing players to influence character development through side quests.

Gameplay Mechanics

• The Knowledge/Strength/Combat Skill division is unclear regarding what 'power' and 'effectiveness' mean or which skills affect grapple.
• Winning against the Shaman does not automatically loot the boss room, requiring players to manually return to previous areas for essential items.
• Ensure that the Escape Chance mechanic works as intended for characters like Kyrsten. Test by taking a high-level character back to early fights and verify if they can escape grabs.
• The game may not display the transformation scene correctly after passing through certain points in the story, such as the Gate. Keep an eye on your sprite changes to confirm which mode you are in.
• Combat difficulty is tuned quite high; expect continuous enemy spawns that frequently grab characters. Focus on increasing combat skill or using auto-win options repeatedly to get stronger.

Story Elements

• Mind control is a significant plot element where the teacher character takes control of your MC into a scenario involving another character.
• Corruption builds over time in version C, affecting main characters and requiring players to balance their own corruption as well.

Technical Issues

• Report crashes with an 'unknown exception error' as they may be due to missing image files. Provide details about the scene and your location in the game when it occurs.
• Fighting mechanics might be broken in certain areas, such as the mines, where enemy grabs do not resolve properly, causing a loop of lost turns.

Story Progression

• To start the patrol job, speak to Sonya in the slums before progressing further in the story. This may be necessary to unlock certain aspects of the game's progression.
