hopefully I got the save file right. I don't know how to export save file properly so I might sent it wrong file here.
Java Corrupted Saviors [Release 58] [CSDev]
Here is the save file (I think it is the correct one). It is the most recent save entry, and it was in R51 (if it makes a difference). Thank you for the response, and I hope it helps.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. After reading some guides and restarting a few times I've got to the point where I can relatively easy do all T2 breaks and 15 EE generation before day 15, and understand how to get T3, but I always get stuck doubting whether my choice of distortions is good or if I should start over again
Hey CSDev, thank you for your continued development of this project! I would like to ask if the sex system is going to get some attention after all the primary chosen types and the other things you consider to be of high priority right now are done? I absutely love personal interactions with the forsaken, and the sex system feels like it needs some love. Things like you choosing positions, kissing while still penetrating, favorite positions for chosen, different types of foreplay, things like that.
Open the game and load a save. After that keep the game open and delete the "saves.sav" file. Then just save your already opened game.

Not the solution I wanted, but definitely the one I needed.
Another question; How do you get additional items? I'm on loop 2 and I still only have the item I started with, is this normal..?
You are on the right track with orgies. Best case scenario is getting a high turn orgies so you can get enough trauma to break all t3 vul each day and last you through late game. As for distortions, they depend on what you want from your forsaken which come later and are usually better to trigger after an orgy.
I am not exactly the best at explaining but I will try.
First of all I don't know if you know this but penalties are not random, every 1 level increase in circumstance gives a 1/2 penalty to circumstance with a multiplicative increase. Also if your trauma level are not same then the higher trauma levels will give a 1/2 penalty to their respective circumstances. You can test this yourself to understand better, pay attention to the multipliers.
What this means is that it is usually better to get level 2/3 Hate/Inju before levels Plea/Expo unless you are going for orgy. This may be what is preventing your progress. Expo is useful but you should get expo on the second chosen which appears. Based on your Composition I would go for: Decree-> Pariah -> Hope during the battle.
As far as I am aware it should be possible to get a good orgy going with a +2(3 total) capture and 6 turn normal commander as long you have networked consciousness and play smart with extermination in mind. Also try to start your capture such that the second chosen arrives right after you use the fourth move in capture.
Other than that Tempt is actually easier to trigger than you would think. Try going for that with penalties in mind along with the t1 morality break which you wanna avoid. Remember, sometimes it's actually better if the chosen you want to tempt comes 2nd rather than engaging her first.
Be wary though as if you trigger a distortion before an orgy chances are you will lose all your chosen angst and decrease the damage which is dealt.
Items appear every 3rd loop so yes it's normal. Based on what I have heard the quality of item depends on the influence you get in each city. So going through tougher cities gives better items.
This is great advice actually. It was painful to realize that I needed to focus on HATE/INJU(ANTI) and base my attacks and progression around that. The sequencing of who to attack is actually a pain when you don't know much about how the run will play out and how that will affect Chosen relationships. The advice I read a while back to focus first on the Chosen with weakest MOR/CON was good. It didn't hurt me to periodically get her to EXPO lvl1 to work on other chosen either. As long as it didn't break her T2 DIG, I was fine.
I ended up doing what I usually do and abandoned that previous run due to the complexity of trying to make a long orgy happen while not triggering the wrong T1 breaks for all 3 Chosen. I'm not sad about it because my next run has gone way better.
I only set up one distortion (I did Aversion on Midnight which protected both her cores on INN and DIG. I don't know if I should protect or break cores for distortions...something for future runs). I got to like day 23, broke all the T2 cores except the two for the distortion. I then realized the only way to set up a 10 turn orgy (for the distortion) was to pass like 4 or 5 days (unicorn lard) and then get a 26EE commander with 3 captures, ANTI/EXPO defiler, and the HATE suppressor. With careful setup, I had a 13 turn orgy which set me up for the endgame and successfully completed the distortion. All the Chosen have like +52-55 damage. I tested what happens if I keep passing days and it progressively unlocks all the rest of the T3 breaks...and it doesn't mess up Midnight's Aversion since it was 'completed!'
I guess I'll have to be careful during the final battle so that the other Chosen don't kill Midnight but I think I'm finally going to actually finish a loop once I figure out how T4 breaks work...but I think that should be straightforward at this point.
Yeah definitely have it as optional. But NewGame+ is supposed to be a bit OP Endgame gear into the newbie spawn area, definitely impossible to balance without outright removing fun as an option. But as a cheat option to toggle, I'd be thrilled for such.
Eager to read that in a changelog.I completed my first loop tonight with one day to spare. My approach to finishing the T4 breaks was far from ideal but I got there. Even without completing all the T4 breaks, I imagine the final battle is very doable. The final battle was underwhelmingly easy but oh man it was satisfying to finish it. One good, solid capture on a Chosen and it was down in 2 hits.
All of that said, the whole training Forsaken thing looks at least as daunting as the rest of the game was. I appreciate the guide I found in the game files...
Now that I've mostly gotten past the worst of the _insane_ learning curve and terrible UI/UX, I'm really enjoying the game, both from a complexity standpoint and also just how deep the character personalities and emergent storytelling are. It's going to take a really long time to master all the mechanics, and I like that.
I didn't expect to get a rush when I finally beat a loop but after probably 50-75 hours of learning the game, it's so satisfying for all the effort to pay off. I appreciate the couple pointers I got in this thread and I imagine I'll be back here more...

Is there any way to avoid having the same chosen reoccur throughout loops?
I get that the portraits will be reused, but I have a Forsaken named "Faith" and now I also have an enemy chosen with the same "hero name".
Maybe the only way to avoid this for now is to manually rename my Forsaken..?

The only option I can think of is to activate the option that makes them use their civilian names, since this are actually different
As you stated regarding renaming your Forsaken, that would fit lore wise. They are no longer Chosen, and Faith *was* his/her Chosen name... So, perhaps the new Faith was a fan of the first and wanted to honor the title? (making up fanfic or rationalize the scenario)
CSdev I had meant to ask, for Linux users, I presume Java would need to be installed on the machine to run the game?
Edit: Sorry Dev, I answered my own question by just opening the jar file and finding out. T.T Sorry for being stupid.

The portraits are both the best and worst part about this game to me. They are really pretty and fitting, to the point none of the other portrait packs even come close. But then you enter the next loop and see a Chosen with reused portraits and it would break your immersion immediately.
Hope we could get enough portraits for each of the Chosen in the og style. AI ones are good too but they looks out of place and not nearly as pretty.

Hey. Cool game. Any plans to implement kissing?
Also, as for the new player experience, I recently finished my first classic run after a few fails. What held me back was not knowing core vulnerabilities were harder to break. (My instincts failed me and kept me going after core ones instead, thinking they were important or a target to aim at). The guide only mentions the fact a little bit and quite far in, on the relationships part.

I think the game could benefit a lot from having a wiki. Crowd-sourced information would allow the community to kind of slowly put together info on some of those mechanics and core principles and a new player could be directed there. I imagine it would take some work to get a framework set up but it would go a long way to helping new (and experienced) players if it was well-formatted.
Kissing? KISSING? We are trying to BREAK AND CORRUPT the Chosen! Kissing won't cut it! We need to plumb the very depths of depravity that neither gods nor devils are willing consider! Head patting or dare I say it? Hand Holding
Seriously though, here is the official statement from their blog for next release (

)"Next month will be the long-awaited introduction of the fifth Distortion path, Megalomania. Because of the species and bosses that have been added to the game, there's a lot more work to add a new Distortion than there was when the first four were added. But I've spent the last few days of this month doing some preliminary work, so I'm confident that it should all be ready for Release 53. "
That being said, I wouldn't turn down some ways to make Forsaken lives easier as a reward for good work, after all the shit they went through as chosen, they deserve something to go right in their lives.
