How do I play that game? It really needs a tutorial. Like I don't get what technique I should use and how long I should do what
Each technique has two stats, the main value (usually the highest as well) affects the selected Spot (green color) while Spread affects "secondary" spots (the ones that have a red arrow but aren't green)
Which technique you use depends a lot on what spots you're hitting. So for example, You'd use 4/2 on the top left and top right spots (arms) or the bottom left and bottom right (legs) because those only affect two nodes and you can usually avoid "cross-fire" from touching other spots. I think the head is another one that's good for a 4/2 because it only has one secondary, but be careful because head is a secondary for one of the spots in the back, that has like 5 or 6 secondary spots. For that one, you'd use the 2/2 technique so they all go down at the same pace, while being careful of not messing up.
I made it a bit too confusing but basically... you need to look through all the spots to see how many are affected by Spread and how that could mess up your next moves. As long as you plan carefully you'll get them all to 0 without much trouble.
Protip: Click the laptop in the corner and buy the stamina pots as soon as you have enough money for it then Rest to get the potion delivered, having the extra energy during a massage really serves as a buffer in case you fuck up and have to use a bunch of 1/0 techniques in a single spot.
For real though, I personally don't mind the new gameplay so long as it gets more difficult and complex as the game goes on,
I think the main problem with the current gameplay might be that the "fatigue" on the muscles is even throughout the whole body. I think after I found a strategy that worked, it worked for all the following massages because the only difference was i had to use more stamina. If the values were different on every massage then at least you'd feel each session is different.
