Hmm... i am majorly lost on what to do or how to start once i make my character :O
Get to their discord and get the latest version there, versions posted here or in pinkpetal forums are a bit off.
Just get to the slave market and buy a slave to whore or strip, remember there is an option for how working is done... strict or kinda loose, if it's strict the girl will only perform the job you've assigned and if it's loose she will do a wider variant (strippers do whoring also etc...)
Try and keep their tiers in check, getting a tier 5 prostitute is madness at the very beginning since they will not get that much extra money and the upkeep is waaaay to high, same for all slaves... if you cheat and buy a superhouse take in mind that you need high tier cleaners not just shitty maids. There are some good items that you can get by fishing but you need to spend at least an hour grinding to max the fishing skill and have the chance to get anything good.
At the very beginning you survive by selling what you loot/fish/find because AFAIR the fighting mechanics are still a bit shitty since you can get beaten in a blink and even if you win you'll get shit XP, making it easier to level up by interacting with the girls you own or even by fishing -_-
Give girls decent stuff that bolster their stats and try and keep a free girl for the headgirl job so she can take care of the tired ones working (you need to customize in her options how you want her to treat girls, kindsness or strictness).
Seaching a few places a few times will reveal secrets, the witch area will reveal another vendor and the mage tower will reveal another one... there was one in the main street as well with the totem (you need to find the pieces like 4 or 5 times and you get a totem that vanishes and maxes your sex skills).
