i love the idea of the game but when i try to play the first area has no textures and idk how to get past...
I have the same issue. The opening scene seems to play fine, then I get into the dungeon and it's just the HUD and a black void with the chests visible in the distance. I wandered around and managed to get to the next floor, but it was also the same deal. Just a black void where the only things I can see are chests in the distance.

We are currently looking into this issue. Fortunately, this bug affects only a small percentage of players, but that makes it difficult to understand what the problem actually is. So far, everything points to either incompatibility with Godot 4 rendering or the GPU/drivers of some players.
Please tell us what graphics card you have (including the model) and what platform you are playing on.
And of course, if anyone else is experiencing this issue, please also write your graphics card model in response to this post. This will help us identify the problem.

I got one shotted by a Hama, right before the save room entrance at 2B, forced fight so can't escape. Imagine that.

Sounds like old-school SMT to me.

I seem to be missing something here. How exactly do you bond with demons?
in the safe zones, you'll see the save thing in the middle of the screen, but the 'bottom menu' options are summon and comp. comp is the normal menu, but summon here lets you 'talk' to your demons.
once their bond has increased by fighting with them, you'll be able to have an event with them, then need to fight some more to charge the next level of bond, rinse, repeat.

warning, it's not like exp (though it's a bar you'll see with exp gains), where you'll get multiple levels at a time. it charges then stops, you'll need to do the action to get it to go up a level, then can fill it again, etc.

=

IDK if the dev is here, but pixie got incapacitated, I think it still has her watatushi drain as if she's able to be interacted with, so I lose with no way to prevent it?
assuming you're not dead too, just go to a safe room, she'll revive for free. you have to put her back into your party by going to comp, then switch.

if you went down in the fight too, yep, reload. as for 'preventing' it, level up, get more party members, pray.

=

to the dev - maybe tone down the difficulty some. like, two nekomatas or leanan sidhe on the second floor you get to, it's a really shitty fight since you can barely take out one. lower their stats some too, so every fight doesn't have you heading for a safe room, and your pixie might not get two shotted. i know there's a decent haul of supplies on the first floor you're on, but it's still weird this is harder than an actual fucking smt game, despite being a 'fucking' themed smt game...

drop the mudos early on, idgaf if X demon tends to have it or not. maybe reduce the rate you miss, because acc seems below 95% which should be relatively normal for an smt game, yet your parody feels more like 80%.

maybe go ahead and give the pixie an attack spell at level 2, and make at least one of the targets weak to it, so you don't need to get into like 8 fucking fights basic bitch attacking 10 times just for a smidgen of exp before she levels up and becomes more useful than just keeping herself alive. hell, increase the leveling rate a bit too, it'll already be kinda grindy seemingly to make your demons fuck you, but it's just a PITA early game to need to get into like 12 fights before you can recruit a second demon, and you're at a massive disadvantage until you can. maybe just make one of them able to be recruited ASAP too, like leanan sidhe, and next level you could recruit nekomata.

make cancel/back keys besides escape. right click, x, backspace, etc. i know some menus have a 'back' button you can click on, but not all. maybe also make it so you can walk around with the mouse, with on screen arrow keys or something.

i do kinda like that it feels like an smt game now, just, try not to forget the point is probably more the porn than an smt ripoff/difficulty hack.

I feel like the difficulty issue kinda stop after you get a full party, sure you are not safe from an instakill but you are ready to deal with the bullshit. The big difficulty problem is when you run with a party of 2 or 3 with pixie being you're only healer doing no damage whatsoever and leanan isn't a heavy hitter either. I feel like the game would benefit having like a slime on the first floor which let you deal with the second floor with a party of 3 instead of 2 where some encounter are just unbeatable and let you have a bit of exp so you can get maybe one level up before going to the next floor. I feel like it would make the second floor more manageable without completely cutting the difficulty cause a duo nekomata would still be a death sentence at that point but make it less frustrating for newcomers.

I admit that personnalyI didn't dislike the bullshit that much but the best part about this game it's is gameplay that is not only good because it rip off smt but also because the porn mechanic (aka affection) push you to constantly change your team to get the most scene and grow stronger (it's a fucking genius mechanic).
Biggest problem is horny player aren't very patient so if they start getting frustrated at the beginning they won't continue the game even thought once you get more option for team building the game really start being good and it hurt the game.
