Proof? Because I don't remember them specifically mentioning paid DLC's.




None of those games have hidden, unexplained core gameplay mechanics. Few examples: I approach from back I backstab, I attack I deal damage, I take damage I lose health, I increase attack damage I clearly deal more damage. Meanwhile in KP I still don't know why I'm taking more pleasure damage despite having high endurance OR why I'm still dealing same damage despite increasing dexterity or strength, depending on the run. I am willing to experiment if game is willing to give me information, I'm not gonna experiment on a PORN GAME WITH 0 INFORMATION. Here's a few games I experimented on and those are only the recored ones I bought on steam:
Stellaris: 271 hours
Slay the Spire: 62 hours, god knows how many more before I bought it
Xcom 2: 295 hours
MGSV TPP: 287 hours
DOS2: 253 hours
All of those games have CLEAR GAMEPLAY MECHANICS that go much beyond the depth of KP can ever dream of going.
-They mentioned the dlc but they say it COULD be paid, not that it will be necessarily iirc

-leaving comparison to other games aside , the mechanics ARE explained in the game, but you need to talk to npcs for it, it won't just infodump you with everything or give you a bigger tutorial
the guards room, the cafeteria(which you need to unlock via edict), every floor you cleared and the yard (which has more people added as you clear floors) . they all provide you with hints or straight up gameplay mechanics (guards room +cafeteria+yard even have symbols above their heads to indicate which topic it is).


to answer your doubts though, endurance does NOT decrease damage taken, not sure which game u took that idea from but like in most games in KP it raises the equivalent of hp (endurance) (which you also use for most of your actions).
regarding dealing the same damage i need more information to go on but it might be because of fatigue, or other stat reduction, these are all things you can find in the game itself (looking at the menu, hovering over status effects etc), or it could be the type of attack you are using (str/dex/agi, which abilities do have descriptions of which one they are using).

hopefully that helps a little?

side note while the hours don't really mean much for some of these, i have no idea how you even have anywhere close to that many hours in mgsv tpp, i have less than half and did pretty much everything (and that also includes leaving the game on a few times)

I know there are NPC's, I already completed the game. As for where I got that idea from, prepare to be surprised:

I completed all those games I listed multiple times, each time completing it in a different way.
In case of mgsv I first completed it normally: going for stealth first but going loud if detected. Then did a full stealth run. Then did a full loud run. Then modded the game and played with mods... You get the idea.

i mean if u add mods into the mix i'm not sure if that counts lol but there are people working on mods in the discord afaik, as for types of runs i guess you can try full virgin run or full slut run(or virgin slut run? ),different builds and edicts i guess.
for the endurance thing im really not sure then, maybe because the enemies get stronger as well you felt it less? or it wasnt a significat enough increase to matter yet? not sure.

What hidden mechanics? If you want to know what the stats do exactly just go to the edicts page. Every level of the training tab will explain a part of what the stat do. In fact, I think that things are actually overexplained.

Pretty much everything will have a nice text box if you hover the mouse over it explaining what it is. It will even give you exact numbers about the thresholds of every sex act if you hover over the desires. Every icon during battle and side-job is explained what it is. During the post battle screen, just put the mouse over the new passives to see its effects.

What I think its the major difficulty players are having are because the aren't reading the passives effects. The high level passives debuffs are cumulative throughout the battle/day. I got orgasm locked in the strip club just once. Then I just did shorter shifts and never had this problem again.

My first playthrough was a full slut blind run on secretary mode. From level 2 onwards only used sex attacks. Just go clearing the rooms one or two per day and then go straight to the boss on the next day. Never lost to a single boss.

I've only lost the game once on purpose on new game+ because I wanted the disappointment title.

I hope this helps.

I was just stating my playtime on other higher complexity games because apparently I'm dumb and don't read and don't experiment etc...

As I already said, I completed the game and even I am still not sure. Because game doesn't give enough information about it. People consider this criticism as "I want an easier game", because apparently I'm stupid and don't read stuff etc. Meanwhile I had to write multiple times that I know NPC's at the starting area and I alread know everything explained there. There's probably going to be even more people in the future that'll say I'm at fault here because I didn't "read npc dialogue"

So this is basically another post blaming me for not reading, not surprised anymore. Irony here is that I stated multiple times that I already read stuff and I already completed the game.
I got hit by a normal thug crit for 52% pleasure damage while playing with this build btw, no one can explain how this can happen without looking at the code, and that's my point, it's hidden: Untitled.png

52% sounds like an incredible lot to my ears too.
Don't know if they ever say this this in the game, but I think we all noticed all enemies get stronger over the game, so on day 116, they would be quite a bit stronger. But unless you got some incredible levels of fatigue and some bad passives I think 52% sounds like too much too.

Judging by your weapon stats you are doing a combat build in a sex run. If you are taking so much pleasure damage then start battle with taunt to prevent sexual attacks. Keep the desires under 50 to prevent debuffs. Confident + cool increase your stats a lot. After you get a game over the cat gives you a very important tip, focus on only one of the three main stat since your levels are limited.

Dex builds should abuse counter (it's ridiculously overpower), with end as secondary.

Also, at day 116 the wanted inmates will have really high levels so they will cause ridiculous damage.

This is a slut run. My other runs are still in-progress, don't know if I will ever finish them. After completing the game once I played more(mostly for science of course), bought other edicts too that's why weapon stats appear high. That 52% crit I talked earlier didn't happen on day 116, I'd have taken a screenshot if it happened recently. It happened on the same run in the picture though. I even wrote about it here when that happened, pretty sure anyone can find my post about it.

Show the training edicts, that's the important part of the build.

This is my str build.

Also, I only play in a single save. I just keep resetting the stats on new game plus to try new builds and keep collecting titles like slutty pokemons.

I believe the game was intend to be played like a roguelite in a single save. You play, you lose, then you restart stronger with the titles you collected, just to get further.

I lost a run on purpose to get the titles related to bankruptcy, they are really really good.

- How many passives do you have (Status -> Tertiary)
I didn't unlock tertiary because it gives debuffs.

- Fatigue % (stat decrease)
Fatigue was not an issue here.

- Enemy (nerds, yeti in particular)
There wasn't a yeti around when game decided a random thug can do 52% crit dmg. I don't remember if there were nerds though.

- sleep (stat decrease)
I am aware, I unlock bed asap because of that possible sleep debuff.

- Horny/Wet ?
It is literally impossible for Karryn to have vaginal sex with anyone while she is not wet, so...

- Edicts bought (enemy stat increases)
Don't remember which edicts I had during that time, however I try to avoid enemy buffing edicts.

Show the training edicts, that's the important part of the build.
See attachments for current state of the build(completed slut run). Bear in mind I bought more edicts after completing the run.

I don't remember very well how was my slut run, but I don't think taking that much pleasure damage was too much of a problem. Karryn can orgasm only once per turn so the idea is to be able to pleasure as many inmates at the same time during gangbangs. Titjob is the position with most "slots" available. Once I reached more than 250% of pleasure in a single turn. Orgasm only lose max energy, not current so as long your build have a lot of energy growth I think its fine. just keep using healing thoughts to prevent loss.

Since you bought more edicts after ending the run it's hard to see your growth.
Growth must be bought early to increase your gains on the long run.

Maybe the best thing is to start a new game+ and focus on the main stats of your build from the beginning.

I've been doing several short runs and I'm having a lot of fun. I did 2 runs only yesterday.

Now that I understand how the game work I farm gold while managing order before subjugating lvl one, to be able to unlock most of my build before starting the proper run. That str build is right after liberating lvl one.

There are many titles that are mutually exclusive, like first kisses or different ways to lose virginity, so sometimes its good to lose on purpose after collecting them then go to the proper build. Now I'm trying to get the "technically virgin" title, that is to get the happy ending while remaining virgin.

I believe that the most annoying title I got is the "incorruptible" because not getting any corruption is really limiting.
