I've been playing this game for some time and still don't fully understand - what's the best way to play? Try to remain virgin and undefiled for as long as possible (can I succeed or will I inevitably sooner or later stop having enough money?) or, on the contrary, try to become as depraved as possible and earn money in the same brothel? Or some other way?
Fully possible to remain "pure", as long as Robin's questline avoided at all costs. Lake diving for loot and Skulduggery, wear gold chastity belt and Athletic+Large Body start for 2-turn punch/punch/kick Whitney beatdowns. Lake spelunking should cover initial $500 taxes, and sugary daddy/mommy Avery (Endearment >>> Love)- additional safe way to "dispose of" virginities.
Visit Cafe often for coffee, $5 for extra energy is dirt cheap.
Rush History and Science for woods journeys AND SCHOOL TOILET MANHOLE (Whitney-free exit), sell Lake loot until Skulduggery C or taxes > $1500, Steal whenever possible in combat (1-3 turn usually, followed by punch/punch/kick) for C-C+, underSewers for $600 weekly but risks Morgan.
Skulduggery is OP stat, allows you to trivialise "being followed" encounters, easy money, Elk Compound free pepper sprays + loot (don't get greedy) and eventually police station access. Eventually allows looting sleeping clients in the Spa at low Seduction, smuggler looting (very unreliable) and pickpocketing all comers for the trouble before punch/punch/kick.
At high skill + beauty, Spa can produce up to $300-$400 per "happy ending" clients.
Day 160+,
extremely stereotypical angel Two-Punch whore-nun with $50K in the bank. With Punch and Banish, pepper sprays have been in reserve for a very long time, and worn anal plug serves as a quick-remove rear shield for unwanted suitors while still allowing for occasional fun.
- Sleeping at the Temple is safe from the Wraith.
- Don't bother looting the Lake Necklace, too much trouble.
- Anal plug "freezes" bottom size decay too.
- Always Spit when giving head for Purity, less pressing due to Virgin bonus.
- Cat trivialises Mickey's Briar missions.
- School doesn't care if you wear heels or neck items. Get some for kicking Whitney and the History pillory people.
- Farming cabbages in the garden (in winter) only costs time at low Trauma, and can be wholesaled at new Factory or at Connudatus stalls manually for some Seduction skill.
- Focus on raising school Status in first few weeks, solves a fair few Forest problems.
- Invest in the best bed for more energy. Fatigue is an extremely important resource.
- Hookah Parlour for Willpower. Go at night (after 9pm) to avoid canal thugs completely.
- When in doubt, punch/punch/kick.
