Stuck investigating the flesh golem? Can't seem to get the POI to pop up no matter where I go,
There's no POI marker on the flesh golem. You just drop a marker under it and go across, then press the X when you've stopped near it.

(No markers for the hot springs, well of souls, or flesh golem; but the church, potential corpse, and enemy to slay for the flesh golem content, all have markers.)

Wasn't sure if there was a poi for it or not, but whenever I go there and exit the map, nothing happens? I see the ghost girl in the tree, but its just a static image with nothing to click on? I've already killed the creature and gotten the teddy bear, plus returned it to the girl, but thats all. If theres something else I need to do with the flesh golem then I have no idea what it could be, my hint just says to investigate it

AFAIK it's just getting her the bear, and returning it. It shouldn't still have that prompt unless there's a bug. 0.47.1C doesn't have it at least (not sure if you're somehow on an old version?).

I'm doing the underworld portion as that's what seems to be the focus of the last few updates;
I was stuck trying to find bernadette the fresh body for about 9h spread over several days because for some reason I got so unrealy unlucky for the pixel hunt that I unironically went ahead and tried to hunt the entire coast just in case, including hours wasted on fights (I was level 6 because I had minigames disabled for the whole story, and just played catch up grinding on 200 rats before trying again, was still getting my ass kicked but at least I could win fights, now I'm level 24 because the pixel hunting + backtracking everytime you move a marker + fight every 10 moves is very very encounter grindy, I eventualy changed the game code to ditch encounters to every 80 steps instead as I was loosing my mind)

as a result from combining all the hints people dropped here, there's hints of where the stuff is, for your concern, hot springs, flesh golem and well of souls have 0 markers you just get there,the well is particularly horrendous pixel hunting while the hot spring and flesh golem ones have a very wide triggering area (fyi you just have to leave the map once arrived at the location), all the other things have a proximity marker like you can see bottom right for the church that unconceals when you're close enough, and disappears once the quest for which it's relevant is done. (since I unno how to spoiler images on f95, it's in thumbnail mode, you can open it for full size)

However I find myself stuck again; so I've gotten to the flesh golem, talked to the girl, got her the teddy bear back, then got to the church, talked to the priest, got a blessing, returned to the blessings, did all talk options with the skeleton however I'm stuck at that hint.
Screenshot_4.png
I've also seen that the cultists are at the "ruins" do the"ruins" refer to the city itself, the church or something else ? also the labyrinth triggers nothing yet, and I have 0 idea for what to do to fulfill the hint's indication as there doesn't seem to be anything to do around the hot springs to do so.

Anyone got tips or more usefull hints ?

The dev posted earlier in the thread, but just to save you looking it up: that's for the next update (0.50 part 2 expanded the underworld content; I believe the next public release will be 0.50 with all three parts).

Other than what you've done, the only other underworld content I'm aware of is done when you return. Since we're meant to return in the next update, and we're bound by the story at the moment, you don't have to worry if you don't want to do it. But if you wanted to revisit, you should revisit the Well of Souls after the 'fog in the hallway' incident (you'll know you've got the right one because you'll have no more story quests; it's the last story quest for the 0.47).

There are earlier points you can return (given the Well of Souls, and what you can do there, it should be obvious when), but since the combat down there is a bit grindy, and only really serves for getting crafting materials/money (at least at the moment), if you're looking to avoid too much more of it, go at the end of the content.

Ah thanks, I skipped it, thought they were talking about post-labyrinth stuff, alltho since it's a 3 parter, maybe it'll all be in one.

Already done that, I did finish everything overworld before going underworld, because I thought since I'm out of overworld hints, the underworld part was the only "main story" left. But yeah since I couldn't find anything, just took the rat poison, did the bernadette post explo scene. I've also already done all the well of souls events bar the one where you don't know the full name which I think is also something for a futur update.

Who is this ghost?
I'm fairly sure that's just Faux. She's invisible, not a ghost (see the earlier Asara + MC invisibility spying on Erika for a similar effect).
  • Robes are the 'standard' occult robes (only Thalia and Faux wear those; Iroha and Fabiana wear an/the alternative style);
  • Height and build are consistent with Faux;
  • Hair outline seems to fit her or Thalia;
  • Thalia is visible in the second picture, and is too short;
  • Would explain how she knows all the 'gossip'.
It could be someone new (Amelia more or less 'appears' in view too), but it's probably Faux.

(You can see Faux, in robes/uniform, with Thalia, in the arena a couple of days after the party.)

Spot on, except for the occult. Thalia and Faux are in the alteration circle. Iroha and Fabiana are in the occult.

The next update (0.50) will release on the 29th this month. It will finalize the main story and the Underworld main plotline. Also has a Halloween party, so nice time to be playing it.

I completely forgot the alteration circle existed, and some how Iroha's 'different uniform' comment had me lump them together. Mia's investigation happens before a lot of the branching, and I don't think we have any love interests (or many conversations?) with them. Though I do like their social media contributions, albeit a lot less than I like what Amelia does.

The next update (0.50) will release on the 29th this month.
Excellent news :) I've blown through all of available content a little too much, but I am looking forward to seeing how it ends. Will be a good opportunity for a new playthrough.

I'm curious as to what's left hanging. I know Erika gets 'blocked' if you ask Varess for help (and I don't know if there's an advantage), but I suppose there's more to do with the theory circle girls and other side stories.

Btw is there someone keeping track of the branching or a playthrough guide to know what content you're signing up for or missing out when taking a specific choice on a branching ?

Like I know there's half a dozen "primary" branchings but ngl I've got no clue how I even locked myself out of the elf... (alwyn ? Idr her name)
So it's very tough to know exactly what choices puts you on what branch and which of the branches you can't even get because of a prior branching and keep track of all that.

On one hand I would like to keep my "cannonical" playthrough but it did lock me out of a ton of content, on the other hand, with how long a full playthrough is, I don't exactly want to spend 10 hours doing the other routes just to get the bits I was locked out of and it will be less enjoyable when interupted by hours of skipping.

I've only played it enough to get through the major branches I could see, but off the top of my head (in a spoiler because it could be for people who don't want to know (to the end of the current public release):

As above, when you go to China (beach trip), visit Alw last. This means you go with Asara, do the battles, but return to the beach. Complete all of the content with every other girl (not Alw), and then talk to Alw. She then unlocks. AFAIK that's all that's required for her.

Hi all.

I got kinda curious about the theme ... and language being used in this game.
So basically playing in some fictional china, with a little japanese background. Yet often times mentioning the EU. And again and again (especially with Klaus) a lot of german.

Sure, nothing that needs to be answered. No need of sharing personal information if not willing to do so.
But really got me thinking the Dev probably got some background from germany. Or at least some personal interest//learning the language?


Anyways, thanks for the game. Just the right mix between story, character-focus, creative worldbuilding,
side-systems like getting money, battle-stuff, learning magic, leveling and everything are in a good balance for my taste. Just love the portion of sandbox elements and well enough hints to know where to proceed with which storyline.
Sadly, VN without choises and much railroading always loose me at some point.

Thanks a lot for development and access. =)
Cheers.

Overall correct. I sometimes put in choices but never end up using them as I don't want to branch too much. It's already a pain sometimes.
One thing you missed is with the arena battles and titus exposus. Stripping Anisa lands you an extra apology event but no extra H scenes.

The story takes place in not China.
Mostly free by name, more under German control. Japanese influence is explained by the lieutenant and Klaus in the office.

There are some choices but much later on, I suppose. Mid game. You can read the post above yours if you don't mind spoilers.

Will there be a risk of us having a bad ending in this story in the future?

In my first playthrough everything was so bad that I started to think you hated the MC, then I did a more relaxed playthrough, taking less risks, not being stupid, I missed a lot of scenes, but my MC doesn't seem to be in any danger, except for the gay school, which leads to suspicion that there is a succubus nearby.

The worst parts of my "safe" playthrough are not having scenes with Willow and Bernadette (who has the most attractive model in the game, in my opinion).

im not sure what you mean with "hated the MC" or leading to bad ends.
i played ask risky and without carring about consequenses as possible and so far my char has gotten away with everything.

Nah. I have no plans for that.
Don't know how you came to that conclusion. Like Sossse said, the protagonist gets more or less away with most stuff.

It's a long text, I don't even recommend anyone read it, anyway, I'm going to take the opportunity to redo my gameplay now that I know there won't be any serious consequences.
