So I spent 24+ hours at the pub whoring myself and my trauma dropped by like 10ish%. My control is maxxed and even doing stuff with Robin does less than 5% trauma drop. When I went to school, I noticed my stats went up enough so I can masturbate in class now. I figured you can Masturbate and then stop, then do it again. My trauma dropped to 20% after a day of doing this.
I really really really don't get it. A) from a gameplay perspective why doing acts that say (-trauma) do less trauma reduction than acts that do not mention it. and B) from a realistic perspective, how does whoring myself and masturbating in class drop my trauma?
I also want to state to everyone that I am really enjoying this game. I am just at a point where I was so laser focused at doing something I didn't notice my trauma got so high and it made it difficult for me to continue for a bit.
Lol , if you don't know, lowering trauma is HARD, that is the thing actually, remember MC mental health depends on your actions and how to make him stay sane in this vicious world of depravity. My advise for you is to better keep a save in case you get heavy trauma, things that grant heavy trauma is rape that get to penetrate the MC in any of his tender parts, worst thing out there are gang bangs and tentacle monsters (if you don't know how to fight them). you can get gang bang if Whitney takes you to the docks, if you dance in the brothel and audience get carnal desire over MC and tentacle monsters are at the sea, though one is protecting the lichen in the lake.
you have to commit to keep trauma in the blue zone or have no trauma at all, once you are in danger zone "purple trauma" the game really gets dangerous for MC, you have only two options, load a previous save or grind your way out the danger zone... If your trauma gets to red (i have never gone there) you end up in the asylum, i don't know what happen there because have never been send there. I guess you do therapy till you are okay to leave?
If you are like me you will do it the hard way, Stop doing any grinding and take therapy with Robin (best), Doreen (random chance if you show up in her English class drench in cum, after this she will be available for therapy will be every day at 4PM in her house) and Dr. Harper (faint wile you are on the streets of the town, random chance you end in the hospital, but the catch here is that if you have a criminal record, police will take you to the pillory and that will increase trauma in most of the cases, after this therapy session will be ONLY on Fridays at 5PM). your daily activities should be only going to school and back (with Robin) and try to keep stress low too, because if you go to sleep with stress in purple, MC will wake up with no stress but a lot of trauma. Once you are back at the safe zone in trauma (blue) you can continue the game.
Hope it helps! if you don't have patience with this game your MC you will end in asylum, hospital or dead! ...naah kidding MC don't die, he is immortal like a highlander. he don't die even not knowing how to swim and rape by cathulu in the ocean.
