Progression Tips

• Maintain high arousal levels above 30 and ensure at least 50 stamina points in your overall pool to progress further in encounters.
• Sleeping for more than 4 hours increases lust, which is necessary for advancing in certain scenarios.
• Start each new zone at the bottom and gradually improve your status through careful planning and resource management.
• Ensure you provide adequate food and water for NPCs to maintain their happiness and mood levels. This is crucial for long-term relationships.

Game Mechanics

• Stamina reflects your character's general tiredness and affects how quickly you can recover during an encounter. Low stamina may prevent erections.
• Joining Alice while she exercises helps build up lust, aiding progression.
• Combat relies on a mix of strategy and quick reflexes. Threatening enemies can often bypass combat, but this should be a full build kind of thing you have to work towards.
• Favor with NPCs decays over time if left unchecked, so ensure regular positive interactions to maintain relationships.

Known Issues and Fixes

• You can now see through glass, which was previously an unresolved issue.
• Combat QTEs can be frustrating; consider using a dice roll or perk system as an alternative if you find them difficult.
• Save scumming can be mitigated by implementing an Ironman mode that restricts saving to specific points, such as sleeping or returning home.

Future Updates

• New animations are currently under development for future updates, including enhancements for existing partially animated scenes such as HJ and intercrural activities.
• Combat balance will be adjusted to make it more deterministic and fair. Intimidation skills will receive additional uses and perks.
• More combat items and reliable ways to obtain them are planned, allowing players to tackle challenges with better equipment.
