For in-game advice:
-Play safe, take no major risks. Stay at top Stamina as much as possible during the beginning of each fight (as you deal the most damage at top stamina), and use Heavy Blow for the most part. Only rush the fight to finish it if you're sure you're about to finish it in a few more hits (to save yourself the growing addictions or damage taken), if that is the last fight of the day, or if you're about to lose (better to try for a desperation tactic than simply lose).\
-On that note, don't lose Fights (as the detriments can stack up fast). If you start losing Fights, you can continue the Run, just keep in mind that the Run won't really be Winning-viable by that point.
-Keep your stats (Addictions, Corruption) in check. Keep in mind that you get Guaranteed Lab Events (Per Day: first one after finishing 2 Normal Fights, on the Next Explore; 2nd one after just one more fight, and so on), so if you know next Explore is going to be a Lab Event, go for it, even if you're not healed on stats.
-Make sure to Rest as needed, prioritizing refilling stamina (you should rush down the end of fights, leaving you around 40-60 Stamina), but taking care about Health and Lust when they are critical (especially before harder fights or Boss Fights).
-Keep in mind the Backpack and Maps costs (to round up just enough money for them). Maps costs drop each day by one, but you should rush to at least a Tier 2 Map (Lakeside/Deep Forest), as the combat rewards in them are more sustainable than the Tier 1 Maps (the basic ones you get for free).
-Each area, after a certain Day, will get its Boss Fight (at given points during the Day, you'll get text blurbs in Base about the Area in which a Boss is currently waiting). Don't engage those fights unless prepared (they are obviously harder than the normal fights of their areas). Having more maps allows you to Explore other areas while some are "blocked" for periods of the day by their Boss Fights. Keep in mind, the Lab Event does not have priority over Boss Fights (meaning that, if you go face a Boss Fight when you should get a Lab Event, you'll still get the Boss Fight; The Lab Event will then happen as your next Normal Explore).
- For City's Shop, keep in mind that Potions in the shop (the ones instantly used there, Red and Purple) don't give the downsides that their version obtainable from Lab Event would. Their price will increase with each subsequent purchase for each.
- For City's Church, keep in mind to not enter it to many times in a run. The 6th time entered will send you to the Church Locked side-event, that also takes away your current Gold (to pay the debt; also can lead to a Bad End if you're not careful). Only use the Church sparingly, with a lot of money, to curb down on specific Addictions that grow out of control (keep them generally equal and use Blue Potions to lower them at once).
- For City's random event with the "Lust Lowering", when they kidnap you.... Refuse. It's a trap. It will temporarily help with Corruption reduction, but will then add a hidden debuff to you, each new day making you lose Multiplicatively more Max Lust until you visit them again, which will only reset the debuff, not remove it. The 3rd time you go to them (or 2nd time you willingly visit them from the City Menu) will lead to a bad end. Only really usable if you're at the end of a Run, or about to enter the Castle (on a Winning Run) and are desperate for a free Corruption Reduction (and don't plan on further prolonging the Run after beating the Castle)
-For Meta-progression, prioritize the Stats upgrading. The items you'll have to buy each time (they don't stick between runs). When you get more points, or when you want to try for a Winning Run, you can buy some Gold to get you the Backpack early in the run (it's better to spend the Points on the Gold amount for a backpack (30), than getting the backpack directly from the Meta Menu.
- When you're prepared to go for a Winning Run (have made the proper Meta Upgrades, or simply got lucky with a Legendary Drop during the Run), you will need to buy all the Maps in the Shop progressively, and defeat each Boss. The Dark Woods boss is unique, first you'll get a "Ghost" event with only question marks, that will show the Sillouette (and then the Narrator comments the Name) of a girl from a Normal Fight in the other Areas. You'll have to track her down (use the Codex to see when is she more likely to appear, and be careful to not waste those times with Lab Events), and beat her "more powerful" version (not by that much). Then, return to the Dark Woods with the Old Talisman, until you get the Locked Cabin, and proceed to the Dark Woods boss. Assuming you won, and all the other Bosses have been beaten, you'll unlock the final location, Castle. You can only visit it Once per Run, and only before the 15th day of said Run. It is a sequence of Boss Fights, all keeping you Restraint (cannot Escape), but get a brief moment in between each Fight to heal (with Green and Orange potions from your Consumables). For this, buy some such potions from the Shops. The early Boss Fights will be the Boss Fights you already faced in your run, while the latter Boss Fights are unique to the Castle. I'll let you fight them from here, but just keep in mind, hit Gabby (the Healer) to defeat her first, only choose Abby when she "Prepares something". Should be fine from here.
For Cheating:
I'm still working on making a more easily-usable Cheating Guide for the game (it will be part of this week's Review post on my blog), but it's all inspired and modified from an user's post on this Thread a while ago, Link here to It. You can do it from either Chrome or Firefox browser, but, as said in that post, you need to find the JS Console first (F12 in Firefox, on of those Tabs), and switch the "Top" dropdown option to "EOS" to be able to use said Console Commands as cheats. Also, per each Page load, you'll have to use the first Command example from that post, to "hook" the Interpreter to the Page. Do that after each fresh refresh of the Page, but before clicking the initial "Start" button.
I'll get into more detail on this later, as promised, when I also finish the Review for the game, so if things currently look too complicated on the Commands side, and you still have issues completing the game cheatless, hang on, I'll make an easier-to-follow Command Guide soon.
GL in the meanwhile tho
"OFF" Hi! Does anyone know, who is the model in the 14th picture and her movie name? The Blonde free anal model. Thank you.
got it ,for the cheating part i didn't find that option (top to change it to EOS) but thanks alot

It's really weird to see a game using real porn to do the succubus/monster girl routine, I have to say. Like, not in a bad way, just odd. I kind of like its difficulty though. It works to sell the idea that the protagonist is having to legitimately struggle against something, and justifies its roguelite meta-progression elements quite well. It reminds me of a lewd version of something like Sanctuary RPG?
It'd be cool if the Ren'py version were moddable though, so people could add their own fetish material if they wanted.

For those playing HC1, I recommend playing with shemales on. It gives you more addiction points to spend, and most of them have no bad ends/unfair fights

damn man, thanks a bunch. this will be a huge help for new players. wish i had read this sooner... got quite a bit done myself in the meantime, including reaching the castle. lot's of trial and error.
regarding found potions: can you sell them somewhere? after a while i only went with drinking the blue ones (reduce addictions) and stored the other ones "for later". the boost seems nice at the start, but i got the feeling that their worth is rather questionable.
for the church i'd like to add that the nun really doesn't seem to like the old talisman, since she kicked me out. (may only happen if you finish the dark woods boss off since you keep the talisman. maybe?)
not sure what city event you mean tbh. if it includes shemales then i haven't seen it and never will lol.
thanks for pointing out to buy gold instead of items. didn't notice that you get ripped off with the items.
what's your opinion on perks? personally i go attack->stamina->lust, but i guess attack loses its value the more advanced you become compared to stamina. hp seems kinda poor of a choice, but i guess gold coud be the way to go very "lategame"? the 3rd one sounds juicy for sure.
my record so far is getting to abby and gabby. got gabby down, but didn't notice anything preperation related. ended up stuck and getting hopelessly outhealed :/
do you know what exactly triggers bad ends outside of combat? is there some randomness to it if you go above certain addictions and/or corruption levels? got one or two bad ends that i coudn't quite explain.
also what's the deal with the girl called ivy? she feels quite different to all the others, starting with just 20hp and going up over time and regardless of if you restart. she has like 100 or 120hp for me by now, but is still utterly harmless. is she a joke or will she get serious (and potentially quite dangerous) at some point?

How can I play the HC1?, I tried but when I try to open the diagoo.tease does not do anything, and I don't understand How to play online. I have read the guide but I didn't understood it.

Try another Web browser for the web link, I know Chrome and Firefox work best (personally tested Firefox, it should work there).
Glad to see another true connoisseur of the finer RPGs of the world
-Sadly, at the current, only materials are Sell-able (and not yet in HC2). As for the potions, you can actually "mix" their usage (They are also roughly distributed "equally" via constant re-balances of the percentage of each one's drop rate according to the ones you got before), by first using the Red/Purple potions you have, then using the Blue Potions to both reduce the addictions overall and, most importantly, keep Corruption down too. This is a valid strategy if you already are keeping Corruption low by not losing much; If you instead have a Corruption-based run (which is generally a risky thing, given some Stat Checks at some points), you won't get as much benefit from the "Potion mixing".
-Kind of got that myself, usually it was right after getting out of the Church Imprisonment (after going once more to the Church). I'm fairly certain I had not beaten the Dark Woods boss by that point. Not sure of the specific trigger, just that, in total in a Run, you can use the Church roughly 6 times before not really being able to rely on it (and the 6th time only after going through their Imprisonment, which also lowers your Max Lust a bit).
-That City Event does involve Shemales towards the end (supposed to be a twist essentially), so no worries if you have that switched Off.
-For perks, I always favor going Stamina first, to get the End Perk of Double Stamina upon Rest in-combat. Extremely useful for spamming Heavy Blow -> Rest -> repeat during fights, overall ups your potential DPS. Also, I do go for Rest-reliant Runs, so I then follow on Lust perks (to get the End Perk of Lust Heal on Rest), then proceed to Health (for the same type of Heal on Rest). Gold looks fine enough, but you'd need to first survive the fights to get it, so sustainability would be more of a general priority here (also, considering the 14 Day limit for the castle, you'd need to rush your Combat Development as much as possible to do everything required to get the Castle). Attack is not that relevant when you can get more damage from certain Weapons / through Meta-Upgrades, and I also personally don't like relying on chance-based stuff, such as the End Perk of potential Stun upon attacks.
-Yea, I had lost twice to the 2 of them, once when trying to beat Abby first, 2nd time when I decided that I should not care about the prompt about Abby "preparing something". You get that to happen after you focus on Gabby for a bit (I think it also shows a different picture for that "preparation" as a Visual Tell). Keep an eye out for dialogue mentioning Abby preparing something, and attack her only in those turns, to then focus back on Gabby. Afterwards, it's just focusing on Abby. If Abby manages to get out her "prepared" attack, I'm not really sure you can even win by that point, unless you're broken OP. Rest of the bosses, mostly, are easier by comparison (at least, they were in my run), just keep your Addictions and Corruption low enough for the upcoming Stat Checks, have some backup Green&Orange potions, and you should be golden for the most part.
-There is no actual Random chance of getting Bad-End sniped, usually those happen as a continuation of either a Combat Loss (some Combats do cause that potentially, such as losing to Zoe in Dark Woods, making future exploration of the Area always tempt you into going willingly to her) or an Exploration Event (an example would be the Potion-gifting girl in Lakeside, that, if you accept her potion, would then re-appear and force you into some Bad End stuff). Generally though, keeping your Addictions&Corruptions low will keep you away from most Bad End possibilities that happen because of Stat Checks.
-Ivy is a bit different, her "development" is actually based on how many times you have defeated her (caps at 5, when her Codex entry, like most others, becomes full). Lore-wise, she Looks up to Zoe (in her Blowjob skills), and is friends with Amy (making her mad at you if you have previously beaten Ivy at least once). Gameplay-wise, even at her capped "evolution", you'd have to either be extremely weak to Blowjobs, or willingly want to lose, to lose to her. She does have a move that Restraints you if you attack her during it, but you can simply power through, she does not pose much of a threat normally.
As for my own style of playin', apart from the aforementioned advices, I generally go for defeating the Deep Forest boss (chance for one of the 2 Legendary Swords; I personally prefer the Thirsty Dragon for it's damage-scaling based on your missing HP, since the other one relies on you having higher Corruption). I also try to maintain addictions and Corruption very low. Apart from that, for the first days, up until I get the sleep that offers the Soul of the Chosen (chance-based, but you need to be at 0 on Corruption), I don't use any Corruption-adding Potion, or lose to Fights. Soul of the Chosen is broken long term, even in a few days, the compounded +10% Max HP&Lust per day adds up fast, and by day 14, you should already be solid. Apart from that, keep on Grinding on higher Maps, do the bosses when ready, keep in mind the pattern of getting Lab Events (to not miss a day's Lab Event out of fear of having an end-day Fight at low stats), and things generally worked out.

- with mixing potions you mean collecting them and then drinking them in the correct order right? makes sense.
- hm.. church imprisonment? looks like i missed that one so far.
- yeah, i figured that strong blow/wait spam was the way to go. it's just that at the start you feel like you need to take all the attack you can get. the concept of "idle healing" sounds really useful indeed, but getting all the perks in time seems like a challenge.
-sounds very much like i fell victim to that preperation attack then. appears like you can just lose if that hits.
- i actually got a bad end after doing stupid stuff with the restrained lady in town. my theory is that i reached x addiction/corruption. anyway a lady in black suddenly showed up out of nowhere and i got a scene leading to a bad end. there is also the dream devil lady. a corruption check happens and i'm fairly sure that failure woud be GG as well.
- too bad with ivy. i was kinda hoping she woud develope into something serious.
-the best weapon i got so far was a hammer (+10atk). iirc you get the receipe from the weight lifting lady in the dark forest (Ella). got the soul of the chosen just once. the stat debuffs resulted in the run ending rather early though lol.
thanks a lot for all the input. you may want to consider making a real guide out of this at this point and add it to the OP.

I've been playing HC1 on OperaGX since v1.10 or so and never had such an issue. It pretty much runs on all Chromium-based browsers. From where did you get the information that they're unsupported?
If we're talking about HC1, the easiest way is to increase your max Stamina - it makes winning the encounters a breeze, if you set it to something like 300. I've explained how to easily change it here.
It's Bridgette B. I'm not sure about the movie, but here's the

Personal attempts, at least. My Edge browser might have some Extensions that could interfere though, just thought of that (like the Adblockers...). Since I got Firefox fresh (barely use it for anything else), it worked for me, so that was the fix I found so far. Whatever works in the end (and it is helpful to have Backup browsers, in cases like this or similar).
Oh yea, almost forgot, there is a random City event that can happen (usually at higher Addictions / Corruption) with a publicly-tied woman to tempt you (and an ensuing Stat Check), that's the one that can lead to a Bad End. Thanks for reminding me of it tho!
The Devil lady in the dream is the one that gives The Soul of the Damned (she appears at higher Corruption, chance-based like with Soul of the Chosen). You can try to refuse her, but it's a Stat Check for Corruption. The Soul itself is the opposite of the Soul of the Chosen (decreasing your max HP&Lust by 10% each day), but supposedly gives more Meta Points upon Run completion, and even more according to the number of days survived with said Soul. No real In-Run usefulness though.
When I get out the Review, it will contain most of the relevant info I compiled (although it will be more on the side of how to use Cheats and Save Strings via Console Commands), so that will sort-of work as a Guide (otherwise, game is pretty freeform to play without the need of a guide, and the Meta Progression makes it only a matter of time until it can be beaten; just to know of certain less-explained mechanics can still be useful)
