One hillarious moment is that she's cheated for stats, and gets Katie's StripMMA fight early
I think it's the first time she's ever streamed a sex scene (there's Chloe's handjob at the beginning, but that's not really explicit), so she stumbles around awkwardly for a bit. Totally worth watching, if you've already played that scene

She had me worried when she changed day to 10, thought it would throw the timing off, but now not sure what it controls
Eeek, I missed that one. That's mostly for people wanting to keep playing past the end of content.. just jump past the official end point and you can keep playing. Then when you want to go back to the story sequence again, just jump back to the original day again, and continue playing. It's not super clean, but it was a 5 minute fix for a common request.

Yeah, that makes sense. I did like the in-universe nod to the idea that PCs, as a general rule, get stronger faster than NPCs (i.e. the old joke in D&D about how NPC wizards are wizened elders while a PC wizard can hit 10th level before he's 30), but it would make a little more sense in a game where there was more required combat.
The whole game reminds me a lot of Western urban fantasy novels, particularly Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid stuff, and its world-building is actually surprisingly adept even by comparison to a couple of them. I do think the difference between good and mediocre urban fantasy is at play here, though, and it's basically how much the universe bends over backwards to make the protagonist awesome.
Harry Dresden, for example, gets the living shit kicked out of him constantly, is kind of a creep a lot of the time even from his own perspective, and spends a lot of his adventures being fucking desperate for a solution against seemingly insurmountable odds. He also takes a few good hard Ls along the way, particularly in Changes, and still hasn't really gotten over them. Dresden is still a badass, but you never get the feeling that he's ever in total control of the situation, or that the world isn't still trying to kick his teeth in.
That's a balance you strike pretty well at first in this, where the PC is impressively clueless a lot of the time, and is a prodigy in a sort of relatable way; he's all potential, no book-learning, in a situation where the book-learning is the important part. I just think it tips over the edge in the last hour or so. I'd imagine it's an even harder row to hoe in a video game, let alone one that's a sort of porny isekai.
That being said, I love that this is a game where you can actually have this discussion. In 90% of the field, the problems you'd have would be "was translated into English by a drunken monkey" or "was made with stolen assets by someone who doesn't know how sex works."
Like her, I did cheat the money, but haven't changed the stats. Although I do do the semi cheat of shower, no stat change, rewind to start of talk, shower, ... until I get CHR+1. Since I haven't seen anyone to talk to in the coffee shop.
MC did indeed screw up by the numbers in Act III, you just haven't seen that particular bird come home to roost yet.
I liked Iron Druid. I would say another Urban Fantasy that had a lot of influence was Changeling Bloood. As you say, Harry Dresden has an amazingly fun universe that takes longer to get started (and then the author went MIA when it came to super-scale time). Part of the dream here was always that power-levels would hit 9000 in Book 2, so I need to set the ground level for it.
It's interesting that you bit into the Lake, because I saw it as kinda spent at that point. It was a place where I wanted MC to go and chill with girls in bikinis (and I needed Nimue gone, since I didn't want a lot of back and forth between her and Emily); the power is already gone, transferred to the Mantle. But I guess it is kinda invaluable. Though MC won't ever get to sell it, so it's a bit like owning a derelict castle in Northern Scotland.
You're never seeing anyone in the shop because you rewind
First time there's nobody, second time there's somebody, third time there's nobody, 4th time there's somebody.I should really fix that, so you get your reward the first time.

Hahaha, well it did not feel like MC screwed up so much as was just to trusting and a nice guy overall, though I guess someone will be quite pissed off by the happenings at ending of Chapter 3 and not only MCMC did indeed screw up by the numbers in Act III, you just haven't seen that particular bird come home to roost yet.

Spending some time doing a VFX pass for 0.3.11. Very first pass, though sadly I doubt I'll match what it should look in my mind

It's still somewhat WIP. There's the problem that I'm a solo dev, and tuning VFX properly just takes time (and some skills I don't have). I doubt I'll ever be truly satisfied with them, but hopefully they'll better illustrate the gameplay and help people understand what's going on.nice effects
the text too small the game look interesting but is there away to increase text size? debug mode maybe?

Two problems with OSX version:
1. It seems like the text from others speaking is regularly clipped so you don't see the whole text.
2. Somewhere in the middle of the latest release it no longer displays any options for saving the game. The Save/Load page has no save button, and the main display has a grayed out quick save button.

Harder enemies give much less experience, is that normal? I struggled to beat a 9 minotaur and it gave me ~300 base exp, while a 3 fire elemental gave me 4 times that number.
Nonetheless, I do love how this game is improving with each update, so much that I can feel how much passion you put into this (honestly I thought that this game was created by game studio and, at least a medium one at that) by the way when we do you think you will finish and post the next update? I'm not trying to stress you up, especially since the last update was like 4 days ago but I can't wait to see what will happen to Emily and Katie (other characters too but the end of the act 3 put most of the attention on those 2 characters and Thorman), also what about the Mother? I mean MC didn't contact her whatsoever so far and it would be a shame if she stayed as irrelevant character from narrative point of view (I'm not saying to make her a harem member but she needs more screen time)
It's really annoying how it goes from Morning to Evening every time. I mean I drink a cup of coffee and that takes from morning til evening?

Possible when during the coffee you also read about the 1/3 of a book or do other things ... (not going to spoil lol )
It's a crime that you don't have more patrons. Your game is one of the best ones here. I really enjoyed the latest release. Thank you.
I *think* I got the 1st one of those yesterday. It's with testers now, I may push out a mini update if the fix holds, just with VFX + updated poker mechanics + bug fixes.
The 2nd one is probably because you tried to save during a conversation; you can only save during 'free roam' mode, mostly because saving in-conversations has so many opportunities to break the game in new and exciting ways.
