Can it be played? ... Well it doesn't crash. It _is_ terribly unbalanced. So think about the math a bit:
One explore = 1 exp.
The drop rate of a level 2 opponent is way more rare than the level 20+ characters. Usually a balanced game will keep the opponents within range of your level. Why isn't there a level 1 opponent?
In one play through, by the time I was level 3 (that's exploring 120 times) I only saw the level 2 girl 3 times. That's far too low.
The game was over too fast to really be able to explore the brothel management aspects. Think about the time it takes to get your first girl. Also when balancing, think about the following:
- Start at level 1, need 10 exp to increase
- level 2 needs 40 exp to increase
- level 3 needs 70 exp to increase
One explore = 1 exp.

- If opponent is below your level, you should be able to beat her every time. (level 3 player should be able to beat level 2 opponent even without enhancements)
- If opponent is the same level as you, you should be able to beat her without save scumming but it would be more of a grind
- If opponent level is one above your level, then it should be a real challenge. I.e. must have enhancements, might need save scumming.
- Make sure food production is sufficient to feed all parties, particularly when starting out.
- Can the player make food? Might be worth adding that mechanic particularly if the grind remains as bad as it is.
