How do I pass the prologue? I keep getting stuck on the station. Do I need to go into the warehouse(and if so what do I need to do in the office?) or do I need to somehow get 1000 credits to move further? Also - how do I get ALICE?
The writing is excellent. Took me a few tries to find ALICE (she's in the forest cave). I'm looking forward to more updates.
One bug for me at least - no back button even with the optional HTML file on Firefox.

Sounds good, but also sounds like it may be better to wait for the next version since i most likely have to start over then.
Hmm, my diplomatic sense is based on broken bones, shattered testicles and slit throats for guys who dare to touch me...
Good. Well, i'm lesbian, not a nun, so i most likely will never play the no sexual content path.
Hmm, sounds like i will have a hard time finding a route...diplo is already out of the picture and now science as well (dont want to see any dicks and if i cant tell that to an ai i prefer to delete it ^^)...

You need to get 1000 credits. If you're in the office, you solve the small puzzle - if you read the message you'll see but basically you have to look at the container number, enter the code for that and that will unlock the container - which has a small encounter and a valuable item. You can then sell that for some credits. You can also do a photoshoot for money. If you picked up the bangle in your home, you can sell that too. And if you survived the encounter with Miss Diaz, you can also pick up some jewellery from her to sell too. If you're on the speech path, you can talk your way past without spending any money.
ALICE is exclusive to the science path. You can find her by going to the library and taking a look at the bookshelf, you will find the book to unlock it in the garden. In future versions when you're a scientist, she will no longer be optional and you won't be able to leave without her - why this is, I haven't come up with a reason yet! But ALICE has had very positive feedback and has been fun to write, so she'll be a consistent feature. She was only ever meant to be around for a chapter or two as a reference to TOTDC.
Thank you
I'll take a look, I don't see why the back button wouldn't appear on the optional unless I've fucked it somehow when rezipping cause its just one line of code.
I'll keep it in mind. You can still avoid dicks in the diplomat stuff, but it is pretty much spelt out that you'll do anything to secure a negotiation - but you don't have to and you don't have to do shit. For example, you can sleep with Bill or you can just say "it was nice meeting you" and that's that. I need to add a bit more lesbian content to this path anyway, there are already two women you can seduce but both of the main negotiations are with dudes and while you can pass them with pure speech, just blowing them is an option too. I had an idea with the Ambassador, but maybe for the future.
You can still avoid dicks by resisting ALICE. Dicks will be in the bad ends too regardless of choice. I'd love to just write it as nothing but lezdom, but I also disliked that in other games because it makes the world seem less dangerous or real - especially since mind control is a theme. One of the cut bad endings of the military path was actually the Mars Ambassador taking you for herself when you fuck things up, but I decided to leave it for a future release as I wanted to have a consensual scene with her in the diplomat path.
The next version will 100% require a new save because the content is gonna be a new prologue, but on the other hand this will be true in general, I'll be adding new features and traits as the game progresses. Every official release is gonna have a new chapter though rather than just a trickle of content. Moving forward, I'll try to make saves as compatible as possible, but something always slips my mind and ends up causing bugs (i.e the keycard system).
Thank you

There isn't one at the moment because the one I made sucked and was lazy. I'll release one with the next update or two. You can search the thread or ask on Discord for help! The main reason I haven't produced one is that with my plans for an inventory system and fully implementing the mental health and corruption systems, I want any guide to have those clearly marked.

Eufrat. I actually discovered a set between her and Little Caprice too which I hope to use in the future.
I had no idea about a single porn stars name before I started making this game!
Just figured it's worth mentioning, it's been more than a year since you were thinking of a quick hotfix to add a restart and/or back button.

It isn't a priority and I'd completely forgotten. The newer bad ends have a restart button which is what most people asked for and the v0.25 content update will overhaul and update the existing content, so will be added then.
Is there a way to gather the 1000 credits without stealing stuff or beating Miss Diaz on science path? 150 for golden jewelry, 500 for photoshoot and that seems to be all I can do without breaking into the freight area.
The picture of prostitutes near the motel is broken btw.

You'll have to break into the freight area or pick up the jewellery/collar from Miss Diaz after beating her. You can have sex with Rambo if you're on the speech path for extra. Or if you're on the speech path, you can negotiate a way past by playing into your father's death.
You've give me an interesting thought that you essentially have to break the law to get enough credits, which I'll try to fix in future releases. I deleted the prostitute stuff because I just lazily put it in there, it made no sense. Chapter 1 will be the subject of a small overhaul (v0.25) so I'll fix these issues hopefully and add more content! I want to bring it more in line with the newer chapter where I became more comfortable with certain aspects.

Sorry, this came to attention post-release. Fixed it now, I'll consider a patch this weekend or next for the two major ones that have come to attention. The issue is I'm steaming along with the new update and I'm aiming to have it done by January, so my current build is a mess. But I could just edit an old version.
Thanks for the bug report though

I think I played this around a half year ago or so. Unfortunately this development seems to be moving at a snails pace.

It is a solo developer passion project and as much as I'd like to work on this stuff full time, life and work gets in the way. Last year I paused for three or four months because I had barely no time to work on it at all. I think for a good portion of June/July/August I barely touched it.
Development of the new prologue chapter is progressing nicely though. Feedback will be interesting as it is a departure from the original prologue and adds another layer before you get into space. But I feel it'll pay off in the long term as far as characters go.
Thanks for considering adding non criminal ways of doing things. Being able to choose between dangerous or illegal actions and legal but lewd or humiliating actions would make the game more fun.
Some suggestions for the future:
1 - Maybe somehow delay the appearance of Dr Godfrey's message until ALICE transfers herself to Kayla's body. I see that you're planning to make taking ALICE with us a mandatory step on the science path, and that's fine, but it looks a bit irrational for Kayla to cooperate with the AI right after reading Dr Godfrey's message where she says "this ALICE program is tailored made for a very very specific purpose, possibly something involving control of a human subject or mind". I think it would create a nice "oh fuck what have I done" feeling if Kayla read this message AFTER taking ALICE on board.
2 - Stop requiring password to use father's personal computer after the first use. It's not important to keep the computer password protected after the first use and it's a little annoying to have to type the password in again just to check if you didn't miss anything.
3 - Please make it possible to check how much money we have at the moment.
4 - Give us a clearer direction on what to do after learing that we don't have enough money to book a direct trip to Ceres. We see that we can break into the Kova Genetics facility, but do we have a reason to go there?

1 2 and 3 will all hopefully be addressed in the content patch. It was simply a case of me getting to grips with what the engine can and cannot do. Inventory UI will be a priority in v.0.25. I'm trying to cut down on passage usage in general, so for example the television is like 6 passages while now I can do it in 1 and be more concise with the info and I won't make it random. I continue to learn how to be more efficient as time goes on! And ideas change too. So I'll be fixing this stuff as we go on.
4 - This was by design, you're just left to explore without any real idea on what to do next. Because that's how your character feels. They see a familiar area or name and think they could get help there - embassy, depot and outpost - which leads to the exclusive quests. You got off Earth, congratulations, now what? You wander aimlessly until the explosion. There will hopefully be new areas of the station added in the future too, I wanted to add a more dangerous "down below" section where people who can't get to Earth reside but also can't afford a trip back. But that links to me wanting to add an alternative way off the planet in the first place.
Thanks for the suggestions
