I've been playing this game for a week, and it's been very interesting. I trained a couple of girls and enslaved Aiko, which was difficult but very fun.
There is, however, one thing which bothers me. At one point, Nika's Clothes become "Abandoned" (not "Closed"). Ikaanos Control is currently 9/100, which may have contributes, I guess? It also must have helped me enslave Aiko, according to 0.8.37 release notes; but Nika's became abandoned before I downloaded 0.8.37 and was on 0.8.36c.
I'd really want to understand two things:
1. Is it a bug or is everything as intended by the game mechanics?
2. Is it permanent, or something can be done to have Nika's reopen?
I have found a similar question on Itch (not linking because my account is new), asked 13 days ago, and GrimDark replied:
Just wait for Control to go up - you can also kill off all the raiders to speed up that process. He'll open again once the streets are safe (or less unsafe).
Is that correct, or does Control only help with Closed rather than Abandoned shops? Which level of Control I'll need to have Nika's reopen?
