One of the biggest issues of this game are the hidden requirements (for stats, relationship points, etc.), where in most cases the dialogue doesn't provide any hints why the player fails to progress, so it becomes a big guessing game of rinse and repeat. Also, so many things are randomized that for some quests the player isn't even guaranteed to progress even if all the requirements are met. Having player consult the walkthrough for every quest he/she can't progress with is already a big red flag for poor quest/mechanics design.
I like the art and the characters, and the story is passable (even ignoring some big plot holes), but it appears that it's the clunky game mechanics that are the thing holding it back from being good. The game should just drop the needs for eating, going to the toilet and showering, cause they play very little part in the narrative and are unnecessary things to micro-manage and a giant waste of time. The only thing that can be kept is the energy stat because of the fighting mechanics and for having some semblance of the daily cycle.

I wanna figured out one thing before I plaiy it again:

NOW,there s many new scene needed to be "without cheat",SUCH AS

New 18+ content in 0.7.0
  1. Barbara in the bathroom with Harry (without cheats)

So,what is the "without cheats" means,does it mean you have to play the game from the new start and dont use any cheat menu utill you reach this task ??

Any one could tell me??I spend a lot of time in last version and still cant get the new scene of Maris and Bridjet.
So now I have to make it very clear.

You "install" it by placing the file in the 'game' folder and once you start the game, press Alt+M to open the interface.
From there you can search different game variables (just use the names from the user interface), like moneyitems.Money, naturalneeds.Energy, etc. that you can then set to any (numerical) value you like. Variable 'mc_stage_2' allows you to switch between bum and normal look by toggling it to true or false. When searching and changing the variables you can also use 'watch' button to save the most commonly used ones, this will add them to watchpanel that you open with '>' in the upper left corner. You can save your setup, so that you can use it the next time you load the game and you don't need to search them all over again. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but you'll get a hang of it.
Obviously save your game before tampering with variables you're not sure of, because there's always a chance of breaking your save if you change something you're not supposed to.

You can set the variable 'cheat_menu' to false, which should allow you to trigger the scene you're looking for.

Did he already sleep with bella in this update or still doing tasks for her?

There are no new Bella quests in the last 2 releases, so you might need to wait a bit for more content with her.

The gameplay definitely leaves much to be desired. The key for avoiding the thugs trying to kill you when you're out and about is to not give up Hector Salazaar to the police, when they interrogate you during the prologue. There's no upside to it (apart from you feeling good about the fact, I guess), in fact, you'll severely limit the content for Bella's storyline. Just keep your lips tight during the interrogation and later you'll be able to make peace with Salazaar, once you get out of the prison.
That said, many of the quests aren't that intuitive even with the hints, so if you want to get the most out of the game's content, you'll need to consult the walkthrough every now and then.

I've already tried the step by step, but even so, I only got it wrong, the bandits are everywhere, we can't take a step without taking risks, this is a kind of renpy game like that if you make a mistake the whole game over time, and then you have to go back all over again.... I gave up playing this... it's too complex, the icon area in the game is very small and we get lost trying to decipher what that means. :unsure:

Lost all autosaves and the game goes into error mode trying to save it, so won't save, that hasn't happened to me in any other games in this engine. This is one of the grindiest games in all adult games ever. It's like dragons lair you need to do the perfect moves every time to get through it but worse. It's a great concept, characters and story line, but you need to be a rocket scientist to get through it. It's like femlife it's a game you want to play but don't, due to all the grinding and having to do the perfect moves at the perfect time. I wish the developer all the best in the future with this game.
