It's incredibly simple, really.
She's a weak vulnerable girl doing drug errands for the yakuza, can she fight against rapists, policemen, gangbangers, 200kg otaku? Obviously not, unless strengthened by the magic of numbers going up in a computer, so what are you to do? As we would normaly think: "any woman in such a situation would carry a gun, right?" yeah but you're poor, you'll have to make do like the other hentaige heroines: Temptation.
Yeah, it's really that easy, tempt your enemies, their wariness of you drops, you steal their weapons and money (hopefully a gun) and then you hope some really nice friends (stray dogs) kill the guy for you, or you run away. Remember, you're not a hero in a fantasy story, you're delivering drugs, not trying to slay the demon king.
After you clear some stages, you may find a masochist, willing to give you some shots at punching her for some money. Here's where you can grind for levels and "ARM-str" like some fantasy RPG protagonist until you become invincible. Before then, good luck!
Yeye, homie... I had to discover the escape button first... Which is ironic, because if you press that button anywhere OUTSIDE of combat, you get told the button only does something at 10 000 subscribers, which is why i stopped pushing that button, and became confused as to wtf i was supposed to do.
It's honestly a design-flaw of the game, if you ask me... As the game doesn't ever really tell you any rules, nor does it have a options menu with a controls screen or anything where one could glean useful information about the controls either...
I did eventually figure it out, despite the game's design... but thanks for giving me the scenario breakdown that i totally didn't already know, and telling me to use the mechanic (temptation) that's only meant to help you increase your escape chances, but doesn't actually do anything else, when you're at level 1 and all your stats are shit.
Oh and the dog isn't going to defeat any enemies for you until it's at, at least 40% likeability (representing it's chance to intervene every turn), and even then, every time it does damage to an enemy, it's likeability decreases, getting spent, and thus it's chances of intervening per turn also decreases... So with bad RNG, the dog stops helping you entirely, after some turns.
So you kinda need to escape fights long enough to build some serious rep with that dog before it's any useful in a fight, and by then, you can kick asses just fine on your own, without its help, anyway, lol.
I'm gonna rate that dog a 3/10 on the usefulness scale.
Oh and that masochist? Idunno about you, but i don't think i've met them yet, and i'm already roflstomping enemies in combat... There's really only one way to correctly play this game, and i've solved it, just like tic-tac-toe has been solved... I grew bored once i realized i had solved the game, so i haven't played it since then.
game itself is a 2/10, alternative mechanics only become viable after you no longer need them, which is probably the worst design-flaw you could ever commit in game-dev... the 2 is entirely because of the porn, lol, the porn is aight... as a game it gets a 0/10, it's so bad, lol.
