This game was really good, when it was just the fight with Dealer, and then it was really bad when they replaced that with just the hub area and almost no sex scenes, not even the old one’s with Dealer. Now it is really good again, though I think it’s still missing the Dealer content. Instead of fighting Dealer, you now fight Alice, in a very similar gameplay loop to what they originally had, but with a new character and new scenes. You fight Alice, lose (potentially to some sort of lewd grapple), and then gain xp and gold based on how well you did. You can use that gold to buy new equipment from the shop girl, who also has several sex scenes with her as well, which are blessedly not entirely footjob related, like most of Alice’s content.
At the moment, it feels like you aren’t supposed to be able to win, and I gave up trying because of that. When you level up a few times and get all of the equipment, you get close, and then Alice starts stealing your potions and using power ups on herself. Combined with her instakill grapple move you have to QTE to avoid, and the fact that every time you lose after a certain point you are forced to repeat the same “scum’s challenge” minigame, to be able to challenge her again, I gave up on defeating her. From what I’ve read, there’s no reward for beating her, so I think it’s intentionally unfairly difficult right now, because the dev doesn’t want you to win yet. I expect that once there is content for beating Alice, there will be better equipment you can buy from the shop, because otherwise you’ll have to grind for way too long.
I’m looking forward to what they add next, I expect you’ll go and fight Dealer after you finally beat Alice, which will probably revamp the old Dealer scenes or just add some new ones, which is why you can’t access those scenes yet in the current version. I think the old version still has more content overall, but both are absolutely worth playing.
The only real complaint I have, assuming that Alice isn’t really supposed to be beatable at this point, would be that you have to repeat that minigame over and over after losing enough times. That should really be skippable after you view it for the first time. Also, if you hate foot-play, you probably won’t like this. I have no strong feelings one way or another about it, and still enjoyed this quite a bit.
