It doesn't have to not be cryptic, it just has to make sense.
If a player does Option 1 which all the text says it is doing Thing A, but instead they get points in Thing B, the player is going to complain. So even if it is "cryptic" it should still make sense especially if a player figures it out.
A player always needs information to play a game, in an RPG if you went into a weapons store and saw a list of weapons all the same price, but nothing about stats or damage types, you would assume maybe they are all the same, but then you go and fight a monster and turns out you got a weak weapon with the wrong damage type. You would be miffed the game didn't give you critical information.
Again cryptic can be kept, like you don't have to do +15 charisma, but having a random girl cat call your character or try to have lunch with you, and does it more often the higher you progressed, shows gain while not saying you now have 50 charisma. New things happening that are linked with your progression, say you decided not to shower in the game for 3 weeks, people keeping away from you, gf avoiding you, moussa not wanting your shit money, and it would be a hard hit for a long time in game to regain those relationships, this is still progression upon a chosen path and the longer he went without showering the more people stayed away.
By tutorial I mean.
At the top left of the page the word blacked or whited would show up, I as a player can't tell if that has anything to do with my actions? It didn't seem like it. It was whited for a batch of days before the GF let me try to finger her then it said Blacked. So no clue on how that works or if it is even a mechanic or a gif that changes randomly.
The "weak white boy" bar, there is no info about it, so is it a health meter? Is more black being more blacked, or is it just showing that the bar is more depleted?
The blue/pink with male and female symbols makes sense to people who have played sissy games, but to someone new, it might mean you have more guys who like you than girls? Even though it seems like a feminity meter.
