Is there any use for the items you can buy at the shop? Should i be saving up money for something before certain story chapters?

For the early game, there's no practical use. The sex toys unlock some masturbation scenes, but that's it. Save your money.

Mid-game, after the fight at the Diamond Mountains, Shopkeep switches to selling items that give stat bonuses. Nothing huge, but they're useful. I recommend prioritizing the ones that gives Skill (the spine and vertebra) over Power (the claw and talon), since Skill is harder to come by and the spine also unlocks a scene later on if you buy another thing Shopkeep sells further into the game. The energy drink can probably be skipped, its only purpose is to help you pass one specific Power check. If you've been training whenever possible and gotten other bonus Power options, you shouldn't need it.

Whatever you buy, you're going to want to save $32000. Once you get access to the dream world, you'll find that Shopkeep has a shop there, too. Make sure to visit his shop before you do any other optional things in the dream world, because for $12000 he sells an item that unlocks a pretty interesting scene, that gets even more interesting if you've also bought the spine from earlier like I said. The other $20000 is for a mystery box that his dream world shop will sell later on, we don't know what that does yet but it's probably worth picking up.

Finally, in this very latest update, Shopkeep starts accepting Power points as a currency. The items he sells are pretty hefty costs. He'll exchange Power for money, giving you $50000 in exchange for 10 Power, which suggests that money might be of use later on. He sells two items that will raise or lower your Corruption by thirty points for 20 Power. And he sells an item that raises Skill by 3 in exchange for 30 Power.

Shopkeep also implies that we may need every bit of Power we have soon, though, since he is willing to extend a line of credit for his store. He'll give you one of those items for free now, so you'll be at full strength for upcoming events. but add an additional 5 Power charge when he eventually comes to collect. I say make a save before you go for any of the Power deals, just in case next update there's a Power check you won't pass if you bought anything.

The mystery box is a surprise tool that will help us later!
Anyway what mystery box? I don't remember that. Also what scene with the spine?

Going into spoilers just in case: The raffle ticket. We don't know what that does yet, so it's effectively a mystery box. Will it be awesome, will it be disappointing, will it save our lives, who knows? As for the scene with the spine, if you bought it then the Vestige of the seahumans will be willing to talk to you. Otherwise they just dismiss you, and you miss out on that conversation.

I seriously don't know what the first one is about, I guess I missed that... but by the vestige of the seahumans, you mean the sphere thing in the dream realm? After you meet with Henri? Didn't know that convo was choice dependent.

Yep, that's the Vestige. If you don't have the spine, it just goes "you have nothing of interest for me, go away".

And the raffle ticket is something Shopkeep sells the first time you go into the dream city in the monster world arc. I think he doesn't even offer it if you don't have enough money, so that might be why you missed it.

You know what, I think I just bought the energy drink... which was a total waste because by then my power was like in the four to six hundreds probably, basically maxed to that point.

Bro can you tell me all the things that you bought from Shopkeeper?
So I can have an idea of what to buy from him

Okay, so like I advised, I made no early game purchases from Shopkeep. It doesn't really matter, you can't make enough money in the early game to really impact your purchasing potential given the high costs of later options, but might as well save it. That does mean that you can spend money on the things that give you relationship points (helping out Amber, paying for breakfast with Emily) without it impacting things, though.

Once the stat booster shop opens up, your budget matters. Unless you took Tiffany's money option, the most money you'll get will be from H.E.R.O. payouts. You'll get $3000 total for successfully hunting the Gorgon and Asura, and the S.I.N. ceremony infiltration pays out depending on the route you take. Assuming you did everything perfectly, you'll get $38000 if you stayed in the tournament and $49000 if you dropped out. I dropped out, so I had $52000 to play with. Actually, since I had left over from early game, it was $53060, but that doesn't super matter. Like I said, the extra isn't enough to afford anything I wouldn't have.

I bought the Spine and Vertebra from Shopkeep. I think that's a better use of the money than buying Power, because if you skipped Tiffany's money option for the Power option, you'd get +30 power and all Shopkeep's stuff combined only gives +15. The Spine is +3 Skill for $12000, and the Vertebra is +1 for $6000. Budget is down to $35000. That's exactly how much the Vortex Stone ($15000, I said $12000 earlier but that was me misremembering) and Raffle Ticket ($20000) cost combined. Probably that's deliberate. Having the Vortex Stone and Spine together unlocks an option with the Vestige that costs 1 Skill, but gets your choice of lore or a futher +3 Skill, so I think it's worth it.

And then at Shopkeep's Power shop, I spent the full 30 Power to buy the Shapeshifter's Heart and get +3 Skill. Maybe that's a mistake, we'll see, that's what save scumming is for.

My theory is that the big 3 are the ones who were never meant to reach their final evo. Because they are leagues stronger than they should ever be. The Berni literally 1v1 a CHOSEN and overpowered her. The same chosen that was toying with 2 level 5's like a joke. Level 5 is big but it doesn't feel like it should have even been this big for the big 3.

The games called Superhuman and takes a lot of inspiration from comic book universes. These guys are in the upper tiers of power of the setting, the planet busters, they need to be given the high tier or the threats, they act as the shield until the MC reaches a point in the story where they can make a difference. Not all level 5's are going to be equal, same as not Chosen. The gap between someone whose been level 5 longer than the other 2 have been alive is also likely many times great than any other gap.

As powerful as the big 3 are, as rare as they are, I don't think there anything that hasn't been seen in some form before, Aglæcwif has mentioned this as all happened before on who knows how many worlds, they resist, humanity gets overwhelmed, and Superhumans who don't join the monsters eventually die.

After the last update, I'm thinking the big difference this time around is what Syla has done, awakening to her own humanity and then doing that for some of the other monsters.

I've already replayed this game around five or six times, and I'll probably need to do so a few more times in the upcoming updates depending on how the choices play out. Makes me wonder if we're gonna have extremely hyperspecific conditions for certain outcomes, what with all of these stat and money manipulations we have available.

I came because I saw this picture when someone was talking about how good the story was and thought to myself "damn the guy in the suit looks like a brutal motherfucker". Little did I know that was the MC. Stayed for peak chuunige.
