So I noticed the same, if you remove the wrong book in the level 1 room, I couldnt progress at all for ages, then it all came in a blizard

I kind of hope the dev might look at controling what book we can put into the trash so that we can avoid getting locked out of content, I made th emistake of taking one of the books from the right and everything just kind of stopped
I'm not sure I understand what you think happened there...

It's (basically) impossible to get locked out of content in the mental rooms. Only thing that can possibly happen is if you do the events in a very particular order, you might get slight bottlenecks, and need to pass a day or two waiting for real life events to trigger that unlock further mental changes.

Removing "the wrong book" as you put it, would have at most slowed down your corruption progress by one day.

Absolutely not, it was many many MANY days, and I know this because I did two playthroughs removing the same books in the same order and the same bottle neck happened. I would need to look more closely at the steps I took because it's been a wee while since I did a playthrough but there absolutely was an extended bottle neck that took place, and it most definitely wasn't just a "day or two waiting" for real life triggers that didn't come. This isn't a criticism of the game, just something I have observed happening

There is huge delay(comparatively) between removing the studying books and results of those actions. I'm pretty sure the delay was also reduced by around half at some point. It sort of sucks for a first time experience if you put off the studying books for as long as possible and don't have anywhere to dump corruption for a while. That said, this game is sort of designed to refine your strategy and try again, so I don't really see it as as issue.

Yes, but see, the solution there is not to not remove the book, it's to remove it earlier so that you have some other mental changes left to do in the meanwhile.

At certain point I got lost. I had only 7 pts fo willpower before facing the spiderqueen. After I killed the Spider and worked in the workshop, next day Aura started to masturbate. As it's not mentioned in the guide, i didn't know if it was normal or which are teh comsequences that Aura starts getting lewd pts. Can comebody explain me what can I expect? and also If the point is to advance in the story before the sexy scenes

Uploaded the public build.

Mostly a bunch of bugfixes, but if you want to start/restart a new game consider upgrading since you now start with the teleport-home skill the Patentia Rune originally gave you (which now has a different effect more consistent with the other Rune designs).

it was edited today, so probably. 23.2 is also up on the itch page to download for free if you want to be totally sure you get the file you want.

Hi thanks for the reply. I just downloaded the windows zip from itch AND the windows zip from the Mega link here.

They are both of the same name "star-knightess-aura-windows" but are of different file sizes though! The itch version is slightly larger.

Which is the most updated version?

You can see the version number on the bottom right of the main menu / start screen ingame.

Both are. In my pipeline I automatically upload the generated .zip files both to MEGA and to itch.io. However, the itch.io command line tool converts the upload to a patch and then uploads that patch, which then gets incorporated into the server side zip (no clue about this process), but it's possible that this leads to a difference in file size compressions.

Its been to long since I wrote that to remember. Maybe I used blessed water on the day I fought the minotaur and forgot to mention it?
Ok I understand: If I got it correct, You have to depleat the willpower just right before reaches 0 using the blessed water, and lower than 60 pts you just kill easy enemies. But my question is related to lewd pts. How do they work. Of the two guides I have read so far, always you avoid to commit lewd acts. But then I have to ask, are you making a pure run manual, or do you need to lower the lewd pts for some reason?

Its supposed its an adult game, but after playing it for many hrs now, I still don't understand how to balance the game strategy, to be able to watch the scenes and to be able to make it to finnish the game more or less easily

The game is actually easier if you do the Roya lewd stuff; you get all kinds of items, money, quest progress etc whereas pure Aura often has to pay or do things the hard way. The only big downside to playing lewd is it gives you more Corruption, which can lead to a game over if you don't have mental changes to spend it on. On the other hand with all the extra money you have, you can be stronger overall and have to use Star Knightess less often.

I haven't read the guides and I'm not sure why the lewd one would have you avoid doing lewd stuff, though my guess is it's trying to line them up for maximum lewdness increase (you want to do the less lewd ones first, and always do them at 0 effective willpower for lewd stat increases. If you did it right, you will see pink text from Aura.)

Ok, I'm in day 38/39 maybe. I guess I'm just at the beginning, so do you suggest me to let the alchemist see Auras underwear? It will be cheaper I guess, also because blessed water can get very expensive. So far I have Aura at 16 MP, so I need two mana stones to use energy potions more efficiently. In Subli's guide I haven't seen more mana stones located along the map until day 50 something

It's one of the lowest-lewdness scenes, so yeah, you can start there. If you want extra lewdness and Exhibitionism, you can drop Aura's willpower to 0 (or however much your current corruption is) to get the "pink" version of the scene. Though it's pretty unimportant here. Getting "pink" scenes is more important in the 15-30 lewdness range because of the high lewdness requirements of the vag sex scenes. You can drink vitality potions, Sweet Memories or let hydrangeas hit Aura with that pollen ability a bunch of times when you need to get willpower to 0.

If you really want to min-max, you can do the alchemist, the jailer for Charlotte and finally Hermann all on the same day (using vitality potions to keep dropping willpower after each scene if you want the pink versions).
