Oh great so he put hidden stuff that gets locked out if you miss it. Guess I'll just dump another dozens hours down the toilet to restart from the beginning. Really wish devs wouldnt do this shit if the games have 0 replay value.
Wouldn't you say that that is what gives a game replay value? Finding stuff that you missed in your first playthrough – at least it's easier through New Game+.

It's entirely your fault if you missed something. If you don't want to explore and find stuff by yourself, look up a walkthrough and don't be a moron.
I literally explored everything. The dog is more than exploring as there are 4 separate triggers that you have to accomplish before even leaving the "tutorial" area. Its a stupid porn game anyway, why tf would I be paying as much attention as if it's a triple-A game lmao. The fact I'm not just cheating my way through like most porn games should be more than enough as is. And I'm a "moron" for missing something in a game? Tf?

If there was a bunch of content like that maybe but there really isn't. Not like the gameplay is at all fun or compelling, I can literally create a macro to play the game for me it's so simplistic.

Back to game discussion: are the final two enhancements (wind + weight) something Evil gets as she levels up or is it an item?
Also where do you find the harness for the dog?

Anyone else getting periodic crashes at seemingly random times? It's really odd as I never had this issue before with an RPG maker game. His autosave function is a real-life saver.

Yeah this is a known issue by the dev, he couldn't really find a way to stop it from happenning altoghether. what seemed to help me mitigate it was reducing the amount of programs running on the background, plus I don't know why but the longer my PC has run on the day the more likely it is to crash, I think.
As for the cause of the issue I wonder if it's because he uses too many pre-made scripts, the readme credits 20+ people for those, wich seems to impact CPU usage quite a bit

As far as I know, Evil does not learn those two enhancements. Evil only learns Heat, Chill, and CRIT. Cleric will learn Wind. Warrior will learn Weight. As for the harness, I'm pretty sure you get it after winning in a one-on-one boss battle at the Estate. Check the outing.

This is why I have an AMD Ryzen 7 ...to run my RPGM games.

There's also an item called "Detector". It's in the place where you can find blue slimes
Where would that be exactly? Is it in the big starting area where the big blue slime is at? I've been looking all over there and can't find it.

It's slightly above the starting point of Forest 1. It's a shiny object. To get you it, you'll need to cross through the trees with a hidden pathway to the left of the object.

Is that only for ng+ as I don't see any shiny thing when I go through the hidden path.

I checked with a new game. I think the only difference is that in NG+, the item is revealed as shiny.
Here's a badly drawn arrow path.

So I have just defeated the Pontiff in the English 2.05 version (second playthrough, first was in the original Jap version) and I notice a difference that I am not sure if I remember right -- the Pontiff in my first playthrough combined with both the Stoic and Shy girl, with all of them dying in the end and then absorbed by the black slime; but now in this playthrough there has been an additional cutscene (can't remember if it was there in the first playthrough) where the Pontiff's Devil stabs him and he pushes aside both the Stoic and Shy girls, ultimately leaving them alive at the end of the fight.

I haven't progressed at all after the fight so I am not sure if the two can be saved or not but I felt like sharing this in case nobody else noticed the difference. What I did in this playthrough is just get all of the scenes, hidden items, and additional quests that I could (level is currently mid-60s).

Edit: The Black Slime showed up and only absorbed the bloody remains of the Pontiff - both girls are still alive.

Edit 2: Both Stoic and Shy girl chill out after Pontiff's fight in the lab room with the huge fly in it. Both of them have no dialogue yet and are quiet (my interpretation is that they are there so they can follow the last Pontiff which is in the form of the massive fly. This is pre-blue sorcerer.


Edit 3: I have defeated Blue Sorcerer (spare route) and they are still there, chilling. There is a soft bug in which if you go in the room where you fought Fused Pontiff both girls are left there crouching and silent. I am not sure what to do with them, I have tried everything - going there at night, wearing the Holy Garments (in case they wanna have a scene with new Pontiff), looking at the family photo in the hidden room again (either the people in the photo references them or the Pontiff's family, hence the whole"I have nowhere to return to"). If anyone finds what you can do with them, then please share, I have done about every side-quest that you can without a guide.

Also, the number of girls you can have a scene with are 47 (counting the Slave Girl if you choose not to save her at the hideout, I have not done that) at the moment (Evil's passive skill counter) - did anyone get a higher value?

Cool to see that there are still new routes and things to discover. Pls reply if you figure out what triggered that event and what happens with the girls post blue sorc.
