I played this game a few updates ago. Overall, it's a great game. I'm not a brothel management type of player so when I played, I actually ended up failing putting a bunch of hours of playtime down the drain. The advice I've seen is to start as a Peddler. My personal suggestion is to make those starting options an Easy, Normal, and Hard mode type of choice and even add things to each option to further make it easier or harder. The advice on this thread said that the option I choose in the beginning gave me the least amount of resources. I think what really screwed me over in the beginning was one of the workers not being able to work for a long time and I just lost a ton of money that way and it created a snowball effect where I wasn't making any money to try and buy things to get out of it so it lead to a game over. Unlike most games where you fail, you just reload your last save point.. If you fail at this game, you gotta start the entire game all over again. In any case, keep up the great work, Fidless, and I look forward to the next updates.
