That's interesting. So how did you make the money? Just work at the bar and at the casino but refusing the customer, and not asking for "special job" in poker room?
Wasn't it *very* slow to collect the needed money compared to the sex worker route?
Also that exclude all the contents related to Mistress, am I correct?
Do you mean that in this second playthrough you let alex do sex work at gloryholes?
Alex doesn't do any sex work in the poker room. She just witnesses the humiliation of her friends sister. BTW I find it entirely unconvincing that Alex wouldn't tell her best friend about her sister's troubles. Withholding that kind of information from Barbara and Valerie could break their friendship. I regard it as a major plot hole in the story.
It does take a lot of grinding to make the necessary money without sex work but it is possible. And yes it does exclude the Mistress, something I don't mind at all because I dislike the Mistress character.
In fact I did three playthru's
The first where Alex did no sex work, the second where Alex only did no contact sex work, nude modeling and camgirl.
Finally the third that I'm currently doing where Alex never shows her face. This playthru is consistent with Alex's stated preference that she doesn't want it known that she's doing sex work. That the dev has added scene's where she does show her face seems to me a contradiction and a major flaw in the story, given that Alex continues to state that she doesn't want her face seen then goes off and fucks the trucker or the gambler without hiding her face.
