Kind of strange if it is only about money. I mean Monica doesn't really need it in the game - she can skip paying Victoria and that manager of the hostel. She can live without buying any food and is given the roof over her head in all cases.
If Decent Monkey added some addition stuff, like alternative endings where Monica doesn't pay Victoria and goes to the Farm or dies because of hunger, that would make sense in terms of different levels of difficulty.
hmmm....what if on easy you dont need to eat, pay vicky each week (only 2 or 3 weeks) etc?

Of course it is possible that on the easy mode she still doesn't need to do all that and on the other two she does, but in that case Decent Monkey has to add something, something that punishes a player for not paying or feeding Monica, like alternative endings.

I think you can do the simpler thing and ask this question in discord directly to the DM.;)
Well I have asked DM with a message on Patreon.
I think this is a bit of a placeholder for now and wont be fully usable without the upcoming ep2 update. In the update announcement, when he referred to ep2 update he said.

"I also have plans to rework Episode 2 in the near future.

The update will fix known bugs and make improvements.

Stay tuned!"

A re-balancing of corruption points and money earned now he knows ultimately how many quests there are and what endings he is implementing may be what these new difficulty levels will effect. Until we get an answer who knows.

Hi everyone. I just started episode 2. But how is the mechanism different from episode 1? In episode 1 following the walkthrough the plot followed well; I tried to watch the wallthrough of episode 2 and I immediately noticed that it is divided into "Plots": Bardie Plot, Betty Plot etc... and each with the progress of the individual versions. My eye fell and I noticed that a line is in both Betty's Plot and Bardie's Plot and this raises the question: but therefore this episode does not have a linear plot that grows and you can retrace the same point more times? Like Betty's punishment can I get by both doing Bardie's Plot and then doing Betty's Plot? Or once I choose a Plot (for example Bardie's) then for Betty's I only have events available that I haven't already dealt with in Bardie's?

The game is more like a combination of events. it contains a lots of plot hole. but still its pretty good

I advise you to read the FAQ, it will be useful for you (including links to the game walkthrough and Bardie's quests). As for the story, the concept of the game involves several independent storylines, each of which will have its own ending(s) in the fourth episode. Betty and Bardie belong to the "Home" storyline, so you won't miss a single event with the characters living in this location. Just move along the given storyline.

It's also worth bearing in mind that the independence of the side (not main) storylines is not 100%, and there may be situations when Monica's progress on one of the side lines may stop. In this case, there is a universal advice - to move a little further along the plot of the main storyline "Office/Photoshoot".
