Huh last time I played this I was able to fight my way through the main gate, maybe I was overlevelledGame can be frustrating, the journey through depths sure classifies but when the plan works it sure is satisfying.
Managed to sneak inside Winterfall through the main gate.

I certainly wouldn't oppose making some of the loot easier to spot through the underwater distortion filter. Especially the more important stuff.
Oh, right... Lifeshaper... Didn't even cross my mind since it doesn't give a set amount and since my recent focus has been on exploring less conventional playstyles.

Fun fact in case you didn't know
You can give the leader of the demon worshippers the artifact that drops from the shadowy boss monster in the catacombs (forgot name, sorry).
The one where you need a Level 2 portal opener, and it's protected by a big meanie monster in front of the gate. Needs two orbs to open.
Give the artifact to the leader of the demon worshippers for extra trust, but after killing him, you'll get the corrupted variant of the artifact.
Just one of many ways of raising trust in case you cba to give the worshippers the drug recipes, or the resources for the first guy.

Assuming it takes 2 playthroughs, if you know what you're doing (not on a speedrun level but still) maybe 50-80 hours.

Don't know about endings, I've only completed it once. When it comes to H-CGs specifically (not repeats or variants), I doubt you'll need more than 2 corruption playthroughs and it may be doable in one (though going turbo-whore like that actually makes it hard). But you'll have to branch off for the Arwin bad end and upcoming Roland bad end (save, do the ending, load your save and continue the playthrough). Now if you want to collect them in the gallery, yeah, I guess it's going to take an extra one for Arwin and then another for Roland.

One thing to keep in mind is that, unlike the majority of eroge games, this one tracks a lot of what has previously happened to Aura and will slightly modify scenes for them to be consistent to the specific circumstances. A lot of the changes are text only, but some result in visual changes. The most relevant to my point is the "lewd crest" Aura gets if the curse of lust gets upgraded to the complete version. My overall point being that the answer to your question heavily depends on whether your goal is unlocking all the replay room CGs, or to see every variant of every CG. Seeing everything is significantly more work, especially if you take the Earth CGs into consideration. You need a minimum of two separate saves for the earth CGs if you want to be able to see the differences between the 'normal' and 'sexy' outfit variants, and there's also an optional tan mental change and a platinum blonde alternate hair color option coming in 1.2.
Endings wise, there aren't CGs for specific characters for the victory endings, but Aura can end up in at least four different states. 1.1 has two variants for its ending depending on whether or Aura betrayed everyone or loses through combat. 1.2's ending can only be triggered in one way, so I'm guessing it'll be all or nothing. It's also going to add another victory ending variant. As a final note, at the moment anyway, the twin drills hairstyle variants of the CGs from the festival of greed aren't viewable in the replay room, so if you want to be able to rewatch either scene you need to keep a separate save handy.
why i need two separate save? does that 2 save are connecting each other? doesn't one save not have cg collection from another save?

Earth replays try to reflect Earth Aura's current appearance. The reason I said you would need at least two different save files if you wanted to be able to see the majority of the variants is because each outfit stage has normal and a 'flashy' version. You won't be able to see the normal outfit version of a scene if you picked the flashy outfit mental change, and won't have access to the flashy outfit version of scenes if you picked the normal outfit. It's not a big deal as long as you prefer one of each tier's outfits, but it's something to consider.
ah... i see, yeah yeah, from my previous save i have i aura complaining about how pervert roya's people while using red jacke, and recently i hve same scene with normal outfit. but yeah, that scene not big deal.
so there's also scene that have different feel base on how she get corrupted?

The way scenes play out rarely have more than small differences, but there are some exceptions. The lord Trademond scenes had enough differences that they have split replays in the replay room. The Aura having sex with George scene is the one where the feel can vary the most. It can trigger relatively early and be a scene where Aura has loving sex and gives her virginity to George. On the other hand, the scene can trigger after Aura has cheated on George with multiple partners in Roya, and she ends up lying about being a virgin and faking having an orgasm because she can't get off from gentle sex. Most other scenes don't have anywhere near that level of difference, but they can have some.
wait, so aura in earth and aura in roya have same body? if she lost her virgin in roya then she is not virgin in earth too?

I don't have a great answer because yes, she stops being a virgin on Earth if she has sex in Roya, but her body in Roya is referenced as being made of mana and as a general rule isn't transferring physical damage and such that it takes to her Earth body.
I think it's more of a mental thing. If she gets used to having rough sex in Roya, then the stimulation she feels, even as a virgin, won't be enough to get her off. That makes sense to me.
I can't seem to find a resource for this, but there seems to be a bug involving the ethereal hide item that causes an error when trying to apply it.
