Hello, can you please add that the game is in alpha and it's not a release version at all?
Selectacorp are masters of making unplayable/broken games with awesome original content that's impossible to actually get to in the game. I just look at the individual data files to get my rocks off and then move on something else when I want actual game play.

It's finished, but needs some polishing and bugfixing. Which will be done before the general release when it'll be out for free(wait 3-4 months or that one). The reason guide is not there, is because selectacorp have released several short versions with individual girls. So, most of his patrons are already familiar with how to play it.

Done that crap. Still have no idea what to do. Puzzles or not, it says "you unlocked a social network" but there is nothing there. Any way, will watch to see if any improvement gets made, but so far, it is on the avoid list lol!
Like I said, premise on paper (the blurb of the about) seems good, just not executed very well in my opinion.

No idea what the fuck this is. The interface doesn't reveal what, if anything, is being accomplished, or what the goal is, or what fucking strategy might possibly aim the player in any particular direction. Stats seem to remain the same no matter where you click. Two thirds of the links go to info-free static pages (i.e., social networks) or nowhere at all. Wardrobe pages are a bunch of dead icons. The technical jargon makes no sense - how do you "activate a module" or do anything with the "Dreamscope"? How does time pass? What is going on? This is a complete waste of time with no walkthrough or introduction.
Actually I think this is not a game at all. A game must be "playable" for being a game. It´s a pity, because the histories of the girls could be great in kind of a visual novel or a rempy game, but this format is imposible. Player actually don´t get a clue about what´s happening in the "game".
It's a lot better than the interface would suggest, spent a few maddening hours trying to understand the game and now it's quite enjoyable.

So I played the game, unlocking about 90% of the content before I finally admitted to my penis that this is not gonna get any of us anywhere. It's a colossal waste of my precious fap time is what this game is. But for those of you who are still undeterred I decided to write up this basic guide into the functions of the game so that you can see for yourself how hard you have to work, only to receive no wanking reward.
First up is the Control Room. This is where the upgrades are. You will notice it has four monitors, the two top ones with the female faces all lead to the same place. The list with the girls in their apartments. It's the bottom monitors you need to focus on. That's where your upgrades are that will progress the game. Before you do ANYTHING in the game, it's imperative that you do all the upgrades.
Bottom left monitor with the Asian chick's face is your assistant/secret agent/seducer. Upgrade all of her syringes. That will ensure that each interaction of her with one of the residents through the Social Network will decrease certain stats by good fair amount. In one case, she plays a more serious role in the seduction progress.
Bottom right monitor has various chemical liquids of different colors inside lab bottles. Those are your mods and they affect two things. First, some social interactions require those mods. Second is the Regulator and I will come back to it in a couple of paragraphs. Upgrade all of them.
Once you've done all the upgrades, it's best you move to the women themselves. Now, you will not have enough time to conquer all of them, so pick the one (or more than one) that you want. The reason for this is because once you've reached a certain day (the clock traces backwards) your girls will leave the apartment. Those are your time limits and time itself passes whenever you perform an action with one of the women- activating dreamscope, progressing through the social network contacts' storyline (but NOT simply browsing through them), using the Regulator and even picking up items scattered throughout the apartment.
To ensure overall progression, which the dev has decided to make as annoying as possible, you'll need to follow certain steps... again. Like the last minute or so of doing upgrades wasn't tedious and boner killing enough.
Go to the Dreamscope (rainbow brain icon) and unlock everything. This affects the Regulator (not yet) and the Social Network (progression). So you need to press all the puzzle pieces.
Next go to clothing and click on everything. Sometimes there's a lot, other times not so much. Some of them can unlock new people to meet in the Social Network. Others can reduce the three main stats- those are Body, Mind and Spirit; now keep in mind that reducing those to 0 has no effect on progression by itself.
So, go to the Social Network. This is where the progression happens through the various interactions with other characters. Click on each of the characters and the buttons that subsequently unlock, one after the other. Among the paths, you will notice something called "Grant Stipulation" or something like that. Of all of the characters you meet, there are only two (per resident) that will give you grants. Once you accept a grant from one social network contact, you can't accept a second one, so choose based on whatever you want. Accepting said grant makes the grant giver your chosen character's sponsor. Or their master, or pimp. Eventually they will unlock "House Rules" or as I like to call it "Slutification". In some cases, completing the house rules completes the character story, but not every time.
And finally, the Regulator. What actual purpose does this have you ask? Simple, some social network character interactions requires a certain amount of the three main stats (Body, Mind and Spirit) to be low enough. So as its name suggests, it regulates said stats to the desired number. Having all of your mods installed, every click on each of the 3 circles will decrease each stat by 10, also using up 5 days (per use). So use that wisely and don't just clickity-click it until your woman is as 0 stats, because that won't change anything. The stats themselves are only to progress the storyline through the Social Network and has no impact on the final score. That's the job of the Market Value stat you'll notice. Higher MV, higher score and payout.
That's basically it. If I've missed anything, feel free to ask me. I might be too optimistic, but the game folder does hold in its title "Early Test V1.4 - Bell Alpha - Storyline output". There could very well be hope for a more fleshed out version in the foreseeable future.
EDIT: Some clarification on a misunderstanding on my part. The Regulator does not require a certain amount of days, but Selecta points. You start with 1000, but that won't be enough for all the girls.

In this SelectaCorp game, instead of counting up on the days.. this one counts down- 365 Days total.
Somehow I thought that v1.4 would be somehow more or less complete. But then I was sitting for an hour or so trying to figure out what exactly I can do and what does it maybe mean, while reading sometimes blue "i" boxes to get at least some info.
There are games on this forum with way tooo long introductions. Now I should go back to those threads and apologize. As in this, you get nothing. Just Go. Ok, so we have sum dude in front of screen, Missions? Why? ... Cash? Do I need that? ... Confidence?? What? ... Selectas? WHT is that??? and 365 Days... Somehow.
After hour clicking or so you get the point what maybe is happening, but still "Grant sponsorship" .. wth does that mean?
Or what am I EVEN DOING?
Nah, there is way too many design flaws to pick them all out. And that javascript aint helping anything.

Erin (Apt 701) is Dana Dearmond I'm pretty sure, Christine (Apt 303) is Krissy Lynn and I think Dale (locked until you progress, but Apt 104) is Dolly Little
Ok so as far as i understand this game you have to first unlock all your stuff first and then research your "victim" to unlock events to increase their value. Once their value reach where you want them to you can "sell" them to their sponsor and they move out.
What i would like for this game is a mod or a fix to give a lot more days so that you can explore to your hearts content. I keep having "victims" moving out before i can pass them to their sponsor and make money.

From Ubik: If you simply want to increase initial days from 365 to more, go to html5>data>js>data.js and edit that file using notepad++ (just search 365 and edit this. You can also increase Selecta or Cash this way)
Somebody on forum explaining 2 out of ~30 non intuitive game mechanics makes it all right or what is the point or your comment exactly?
