The game requires Japanese locale settings not because it is a setting nor is there a way to auto detect locale; unfortunately that isn't how this works. It requires them because it is a Japanese game and was coded in, you guessed it Japanese.
Ahem; someone is wrong on the Internet again...

Hate to barge in, but you have managed to get almost everything you said wrong.
I get that you wrote your post with good intention to clarify what's going on, but you either dumbed down the truth too much or you don't understand how language encoding works yourself.

This game is not "coded in Japansese" . Because it is implemented on Unity, its source files must have been written in a programming language that compiles to .Net bytecode, most probably it was C#. Japanese programmers generally use the same computer languages as everybody else on the planet, maybe with comments written in Japanese. Their sources are also sometimes not encoded in UTF-8, as is de-facto standard these days, which takes us to the next point...

Japanese is a non-unicode language...
There is no such this as "unicode" or "non-unicode" language. Unicode is a type of encoding, i.e. mapping integers to characters* so that text can be stored and manipulated by computers as an array of numbers.
You absolutely can encode text in Japanese using Unicode, and you totally should. Generally, Unicode is the international standard that solves most of encoding-related problems.
But that is not the only encoding suitable for text in Japanese. is an old two-byte encoding that was popular in Japan before Unicode. It still crops up quite often in Japanese indie devs' games, especially if they rolled out their own custom engine, but not as often now as was in, say, around 2011, when H-games started getting popular worldwide.

The "solution" would be to recode the entire game from top to bottom replacing all Japanese characters
I don't know what goes wrong with this particular game if you launch it with system encoding different from SJIS, but probably there is a text file or several in game's resources that are encoded in SJIS and that the game silently parses incorrectly. This would explain lack of healing, because some traditional C functions for parsing numbers just return zero if the first character is not a digit or a minus sign.

There are tools for automatically translating text between different encodings, like , that are available since forever.
Yes, re-enconding everything in UTF-8 is not "solution" it is the solution. And if my guess is correct this can be fixed in a few minutes.
Still using obsolete encodings while targeting world-wide market is just unprofessional and an indicator of the programmer's lack of knowledge.

Most developers don't want to go through the hassle of redrawing the entire game uncensored for the global market
That's why usually the opposite is done: first the CG is drawn uncensored, then a censored version is produced if it is required. It also allows to publish an uncensor patch somewhere on dev's blog immediately after the game's release.

and the other part because japan is very insular homogeneous society. Anything outside japan is for the most part irrelevant to the average Japanese citizen
Here I agree. This is definitely one reason why we still regularly encounter SJIS but not, for example, some old German encoding. "It works in my country" (and I don't care about those smelly gaijins) is the "it works on my machine" on a bigger scale.

* This is a simplification; notion of _character_ doesn't make sense for some natural languages.

wasn't a bad experience but I ended up just messing w/ cheat engine to give sitri godly stats after it required a bit too much brain power for my liking

Does anybody find a file to configurate the setting such as attack, hp and so on?
open cheat engine and go 4 bytes, reset your girls stats if she is lvl 5 and search for the 5 investment points, use 1, scan for the new number, etc. lock it and spam, bit of work but it works just fine. If your girl isn't lvl 5 you can do the same thing w/ the money too

Please don't quote me trying to start pissing contests or to stroke your own ego. I really don't care.
Absolutely not. I myself do not like to engage in pointless arguments. That my message was directed to hundreds of lurkers that will look through this thread in order to get someone interested in learning about these topics.

Try to do at least a little research next time before stating your opinion as fact. Have a good day/night!

Wow, what a radioactive thread - and so fast! Hehe

About the game: Cute lil' concept, nicely executed - but with an abysmal translation. Not as incoherent as some other examples, but once this is "done" - as in feature and content complete - it should absolutely be entirely proof-read =)

Have fun discussing encoding. :rolleyes:

Isn't it too easy? I noticed that my succubi healed for 2800 with a HP pool of 500 :WaitWhat:

It clearly has some bugs. :) BTW I just checked the original upload page. It says release date: 2023.01.15. so I assume that this is still under developement? I hope so...

I've lost to level 8 like five times and level 2 hard mode three times.

Like, games probably shouldn't require too much grinding, but I feel like in some cases like this one the option would be nice to have.

I thought that was the only since everyone else saids that is absurd hard and cant pass lvl1 meanwhile with me the game lost purposes beacuse it is impossible to take damage since the recover is absourdly high

Was this unbalanced nightmare mess originally intended to have Microtransactions or something? Because the fact I can't grind means that, unless you knew in advance who to actually level up in advance, the game becomes borderline unplayable at level 7 onward, with hard mode almost being straight up being unplayable past the first level, and the fact you need to be level 5 for each succubus to unlock ANY gallery is an utter joke because god knows what dev expects you to do to get that far beyond die a million times just to get whatever RNG bullshit allows you to win a single level.

The H Content isn't even worth wasting time over this dogshit either, it's just the same handful of poses copypasted over and over again and the artstyle isn't that fappable either.

Edit: Looked it up, the reward for maxing out a succubus is a mid CG of the succubus in question, not an actual gallery.
Also the fact you can't level them up past level 5 despite how unbalanced shit gets early into the game is absolutely idiotic.

Either your revisiting the level and don't realise your doing it on hard mode or something has gone wrong. The 1st time you do level 1 it's an automatic win.
it sounds logical, but in fact i lose every time, even with the upgrade i was given after losing the first level. and in the game there is no way to put a hard mod
