Trying to understand what the point of Flagellate is? It gives you one Divine Favor, while also hitting you with a DOT effect. Prayer, on the other hand, gives you two Divine Favor and heals you. Why would you ever take Flagellate over Prayer? I could understand it if it gave 3+ favors, but at only one it seems objectively worse than just using the prayer skill.
Flagellate is a "swift" move, meaning that like using most items it can be done once before doing a regular move. So, for example, you could use flagellate and then pray giving you a heal, a bleed, and 3 divine favor. Since divine favor stacks increase the paladin's damage and resistances, it's a reasonable trade off.

Are there any OP builds I can use for early game?

What kind of hypnosis content is there outside of the stunlock stuff?

Good game, although I almost deleted it because of this save system and the ability to ruin a character for a long time just by opening a chest.
Thanks to the person who posted a save with equipped characters. Without it, I would have spent a long time figuring out who to wear what.

Is there a soundtrack anywhere? I really liked the music.

Paladin with a Divine Spear as a tank(basic attack causes a fire DoT), Cleric as a healer(take Group Heal ASAP), Noble or two as a Damage dealer(take Moulinet perk ASAP for the last or too dangerous enemy).

Paladins are good even without that spear you find quite soon. They have heal over time, which is comparable with a new Cleric. It heals 3 hp for a turn on all party, but it can stack up to 9 while paladin casts it every turn. Didn't test it with two pals at once.

Nobles use Appel, which causes a counterattack till the last enemy, then finish it with Moulinet, which causes stacking bleeding.
Two or three Nobles can survive without a tank, but it is risky.

Good weapon for Nobles is a Rapier of Punishment, which has +piercing(chance to hit) and built-in Flagellation buff.
At the very beginning one Noble can be replaced with a second Cleric or even a Cowgirl(look for them at Labs), who also has a mass heal and free skill points. Second Paladin is also good for additional healing.

Paladin at the tank position can be replaced with a warrior(Cleave perk for only one skill point) or with a Prisoner(look for them at the Forest), who is already Adept(has free skill points).
Prisoner at the beginning can buff your party and protect somebody with a Meat Shield perk, and it is already too much sometimes. Later they get a powerful one target attack(High Jump Kick).

Nobles can be replaced with rogues(Riposte perk first!), but without Large Daggers they do less damage than a Nobles with a stock weapon. Seasoned Rogue has Stimulants which dispel and buff all your party at one cast.

Train Contitution for HP and Strength for a physical damage. Dexterity is only for dodge and incoming heal. Wisdom is for healing and hypnosis resist. And Intellect is for magical damage.

Mages and Rangers are not for an early game I think. They need items and lots of training.

Also look for characters who has a useful personality. I've got a Paladin with a buit-in Riposte(counterattack), which casts automatically, for example.
There are manually created characters you can get at the pentagram if you are lucky. They have unique appearance and personalities.

Is it possible to somehow protect yourself from being forcibly dressed up by enemies, for example, as a maid, without being a maid yourself?

yes getting equipped with cursed items like that only happens when they get passed your armour either by them destroying it (they end up in underwear) or its part of the set they are trying to cures you with. you can repair the armour with a moral power but if its fully gone you cant, also if you want a little more time they can only give you a cursed item if there is an empty slot or a destroyed item so if you fill all six spots the have to destroy the armour and a peace of equipment to curse you

So my Cleric was given a maid duster on round 1 just because she wore maid panties?

the only way I can think of to protect yourself from getting dressed up is good armor or the new game option to disable enemies from force-equipping gear (no stopping kidnapped girls or cursed gear you put on though)

you can get girls dressed as maids in other classes, but each girl needs to basically master the maid class to get the skill to prevent forced class changes.
(note: turns out the class perk makes that girl immune to the set changing her class AND enemies trying to equip the set)

if you have less than 3 pieces of cursed gear from the same set on a girl you'll be fine, once she gets a third piece she instantly transforms to the cursed class.

Well that is the issue with art as a career. Everyone and their sister and their sisters dog and that dogs puppies is putting art online so unless you know someone that can promote you or carve out your own unique niche somewhere then you will never make money. Art as a career is less about making good art and more about marketing yourself which is a real shame. There are tons of incredibly talented people out there that are simply not good at marketing themselves or dont put effort into it so all of their work dies with them. Art is an incredibly saturated market and so it is equally competitive. If you arent playing that game to win then you just lose. Even if you do play that game well you can still just lose.

Its why art as a career is always a gamble since you have to be lucky to win or somehow get in the good graces of the house.

Through trial and error Ive come to understand some basics and Ive got to ask. Whats the point? It seems incredibly clunky, convoluted and infuriating. Does it get better? In theory the game seems nice enough.
-After the first dungeon every new recruit is under leveled, opponents can just kidnap your characters if you get a tough fight. Im restarting every run, geting a miniscule amount of progress.
-You got bunny ears in your inventory. Usefull? Who knows. Here is a boot that gives +3 green blob but -2 purple blob if pink blob is under 80%. Yeah.
-The first quest says to recruit Aura. She is already in your party. Is it another Aura? Who knows.
Does the game become any clearer and have any semblance of pacing?

-Regarding the quest: if there is no character named Aura in the stagecoach, it probably means the one in your party, but Quests are optional.
- Regarding the other stuff, such as "blobs" and "enemies can just kidnap your characters": I suggest you look at the rest of the "?" menu (You must have been there at least once since you referenced the Quests section), such as Encyclopedia, Tokens, and DoT/Crests. That will tell you what those "blobs" are and how they are connected to characters getting kidnapped (I noticed the percentages are somewhat inconsistent between the sections and I am not sure which numbers are right, but the information is there).

It's confirmed by the dev that we can sell them without worry.
But
Do dismissed unique adventurer appear again? And if they do, Where can they appear?(stage coach, rescue, summon)

Never seen a unique at the stagecoach so I wouldn't know about that, but you can get them back as re-summons. I've "trained" uniques and sold them through quests and got them back as summons multiple times.
