Has anyone figured out what the 'blackjack settings' note means in the casino world? Because I've read it, I just don't understand it. XD

You need to make your way through the combat allowed area. At the end of the path is a lever mostly hidden behind the tree. It is very close to the sign that talks about the blackjack settings.

It should be 22. You can check on the big stone tablet in the new game plus room. It is called defeat score IIRC.

I don't get it. She aware that curse can be lifted from normal human by killing demon, but she let herself be hit by eyes of greed, which definitely wouldn't lead to immediate death of recipient judging by the name. Or i missed something?
PS: thanks for information about that damn blackjack lever, sacrificing 10 stat points to beat boss was too sad.(couldn't find it by myself)
PSS: save №7 is last one but better to find which one i made(can't remember which) before and win blackjack.

I just realized the changelog has no mention of new Aura content. Just new mind fuckery scenes.
Is that why my save won't let me out of the ending room for Aura? Do I just keep instantly leaving and seeing 'real world' scenes?

I'm holding off on the Festival until the lewd scenes are added, but afaik if you did that part and completed ch.1, you're done, there's no more Roya content. This month was focused on mental changes/corruption, and the next month will be finishing the first chamber of mental changes as well as fleshing-out existing locations.

Amazing game. I have a couple of constructively meant critiques tho, not sure if the dev reads but here goes.

1. Unsuspecting noobs follow the development and want to try new updates but get fucked when a new update comes unless specifically copied a save. So, put up a noticeable warning at the game's end (or somewhere else) that a save should be kept. Or maybe saves get corrupted with new updates and there's no way of doing this, but either way... would be good to know.

2. It's difficult as fuck in the beginning if you're a semi-casual player who wants to play on the Normal mode. I appreciate the challenge but I almost quit after a couple of hours because I had to save scum so much (even after I learned how important Guard is, as well as avoiding mobs). Actually, I almost quit at the boss fight in the end as well, and had to use an earlier save to get more Perika to repeatedly take off the collar. It wasn't until reading this thread that I realized Tactical Advantage is as big of a deal as it is. That should be made much clearer in the game.

3. The writing is excellent, minus a couple things. Alicia's motivations sometimes seem to go against that of the player, which is probably bad. Alicia sometimes cheers on the prospect of Aura dying or becoming completely destroyed. If Alicia is meant to represent the player's desires, she should only want to make Aura lose her inhibitions and moral compass, not actually kill her. It's also unclear why/how she would want to go that far unless she's not just a common sociopath but also actually a murderer, which isn't explained in game. In short, there's a contradiction between: 1) Alicia wanting Aura to become like herself, obsessed with shopping and similar things, and 2) Alicia simply wanting to hurt Aura without it gaining herself in any way. I think motivation (1) is great, motivation (2) (showing up a couple places, near the end) is bad.

4. The money festival was actually pretty frustrating. I'm not going to spoil too much in case readers haven't played it, but I'll just say that at this point in the game, the day/night cycle was extremely engrossing. The festival was telegraphed well in advance, and I tried to extend Aura's development as far as possible until all the mind alteration options were expended and it was nothing but [To be implemented] left. Still, as I said, the story development including the daily activities is the most compelling part of the game (especially compared to repetitive combat), and it's a shame that the entire festival is basically 1+ hours without any of that content. Feels oppressive. It would be better if it were broken up with a couple of "Next Days".

5. A more vague one, and it's more of a personal opinion: The Mind alteration room should be just that, for changes of mind. Not mind-control. Alicia is a figure in Aura's unconscious mind, and she is having an effect on her. People are affected by others, and by situations they encounter, that's how the mind works. The game doesn't lean as heavy in the "mind-control" direction as many others do, which I'm glad and hope it keeps up/furthers. To me, the entire premise is that Aura herself is changing her mind, albeit with the direction and encouragement of Alicia.

I can't figure out how to trigger the cheerleader application event, does anyone know the requirements?
The cheerleader stuff is the very end of the current mental changes. If you haven't done so yet, you need change it so that Aura prefers going home with Alicia over Rose. Other than that just keep on with all the mental changes and it'll trigger eventually.

3. About Alicia...
It's not outright stated, but it seems pretty clear that Alicia just wants her former best friend (Aura) back. She's changing Aura because she truly thinks that's what's best for Aura and doesn't realize what a massive bitch she is in doing so. Alicia is a very lonely person, though she'll never admit it, who really only seems to have made a true connection with Aura. Her parents are distant and always away, the girls she surrounds herself are lackeys constantly jockeying for a higher position (and who will betray Alicia in a heartbeat if it means getting more popular) and any guys are little more than walking ATMs for her.

There's Richard, of course, but Richard sucks. The bet he made on Aura at the end of the festival made him less boring in my eyes, but Alicia is still a far more interesting character and antagonist.

Yeah I agree that is/should be Alicia's motivation, which is why the "Aura should die/lose her soul" seemed off.

I think Richard holds potential. He hasn't been developed that much yet, but it seems to be in the cards. He's a clearer straight up antagonist than Alicia, who as we agreed is trying to align Aura with herself. Richard is instead a rival and will eventually want to destroy Aura no matter how/what she becomes.

I need a cheat for the corruption. I'm at 33 out of 27 as soon as I end the day. I have 4 blessed waters, but that's not enough, and there are no more to buy. There are no additional events I can unlock yet. I'm 12 hours in, so the game takes too long for me to really want to start over when I hit game over.

Good game, but managing the corruption is becoming more of what the game is about than the story itself.

I don't quite remember the details, but from what I remember:
If you die in the fantasy world, you don't actually die in real life, right? Because the goddess is working together with the demon king, if Aura's soul is lost, it'll just go back to the goddess and by extension - Alicia and Richard, to do with as they please.

You can plug your desired save into and manipulate your 'Corruption' values that way if you don't want to restart.
