The game is very difficult and torturous especially if you don't know what you're doing at first. I recommend looking up tutorials and builds on the wiki to get you started (Although some of them aren't up to date and are erroneous, but its good enough to get you started at least).
I kept starving and dying off because I was wasting my stamina and gold on buying food and working as dancer at the Noer Inn.
For those starting out, I recommend that you build up your survival skill first as this is essential for crafting food and potions later on in the game. The food will replenish stamina when sleeping and when you max out your stamina, the excess will go to your health.
Hire the dog at the inn using meat soup that you can buy from Boss Mama, go to the forest, enter it, tell the dog to kill animals, have the dog aggro the boar, attack the boar from behind to stun it, just keep attacking and running away as needed, when they die, they give you a lot of animal meat that you can then cook by either making meat soup or good soup, also collect the herbs and fruits. You need plenty of food to regain stamina and health, you lose 10 food for every sleep you do.
On the other hand, I love the artstyle, though I wish the game had more transformation options, I wanted to be able to modify the breast size at least (big booba Lona when?). Also the game could use some quality of life changes, more outfits and traits! Considering by this time the game is still in beta and already has this much content, I'm hopeful for the future success of this game.
The writing of the game kind of reminds me of Project Zomboid wherein it tells you that is the story of "How you died" and it comes off as unhelpful and downright trolling and condescending, like when you die, you get the message "press Z to admit your failure" and it feels like a personal attack on the player.
There's also a lot of references to other franchises (eg. Goblin Slayer, Life With A Slave -Teaching Feeling-, KonoSuba, Emergence / Metamorphosis) as well as some contemporary politics.
Anyways, other than all that, Good luck and have fun to the rest of you all who plan to play this game!
Truly the "Dark Souls" of the Eroge Genre, not to mention kind of reminds me of Black Souls.
