We had for awhile a guide to the punishment system now we are back guessing does the developer hate the playerbase with a passion?

This game has so much good stuff going for it put i fucking hate spending months trying to find that one fucking way to pass these horrific punishment mini games.

I don't know whether this is what's happening, but it's not unusual for that sort of thing to be one of the last things added, particularly if the beta was pushed out to some sort of deadline, leaving the final polishing touches for the full release.

Or it might be a genuine oversight that will get picked up through feedback from the beta's players.

Or it is possible it's a deliberate decision by the developer for whatever reason (outright hatred of the player-base seems unlikely)

Uhm.....did you just try to make the punishment system sound like punishment? Because that's why it's named a punishment system.

Also. Seems it's windows 10 and up only as of now?

Faye Level 2 how should this work to come to Level 3 when you aggree to not use the ruler?

I have two actions and no actions to raise Pain or Pleasure? Pain I need 1 and Pleasure 4.

This is the only Quest that are open. I can`t buy anything new so I have no clue how I can solve it.

Beta has a few errors.

The twins punishment is now permanently plastered on the screen everywhere, it keeps going back to it, after punishing them from the pool and not finishing Ms Potts line beforehand. Specifically the Twins punishing Ms Potts.

The twins punishment bug might have been created, unclear, I had two punishments that day. I proceeded to Pritti after the Twins, and on ending her punishment, it highlighted the table tie option, I pressed it, and it went back to the twins. Since my game is broken and the twins punishments options are permanently attached to the screen everywhere. I end the punishment, and it doesn't disappear.

Rachel hard disconnects like Cassandra if using the skip function to speed through the dialogue while punishing. It also makes an awful sound, computer speakers have real horrible bzzzzzzzzzzzing, on many punishments using skip for dialogue.

Saved games were wiped this update. I started fresh and found a Faye scene regarding Cassandra, however Rachel seemed much harder levelling and getting regular punishments due to advancing acts quickly. If advancing the acts, it becomes a problem levelling her because the classroom has everybody else. Not so much of a weekly problem, selecting which student to punish but this doesn't happen frequently. You now have Pritti and others to single out. Level Rachel first would've saved playtime.

Game Broken above. It's still a Beta

Well, it's not an official release. You play a beta at your own risk, or you wait until the actual release, and play that.

I find it so strange to hear people say they have trouble passing/completing the punishment system. In my experience, either it's so easy to get points that a new level isn't any harder than the previous level OR you only have access to the new level after buying a new item or unlocking a new position....which is obviously what you use to get the required score

Unpopular opinion: I would throw out this punishment system completely and replace it with normal events. I’m guessing there’s only one way because the developer wants the punishment system levels to be gated. To keep the story consistent, he wants to make sure that when you reach level X, you’ve seen all required scenes and have all the tools he wants you to have. But in that case, why not just replace the punishment scene with a scripted one? It would require much less work.
