While I wouldn’t go as far as to call the game “unplayable,” as another person mentioned a few months ago, the way the Corruption and Inhibition system works makes the game very frustrating.

I get a job, have a night with Bobby, and tell him the hookup was fine. My Inhibition goes down slightly, especially after I peep on Bobby in the middle of the night. Okay, that makes sense. The next day, I decide to masturbate in my room or in the shower and my Inhibitions go back to 500. That makes no sense.

I can understand actions like peeping or whatever lowering my Inhibition stat more than just masturbating, but it makes no sense for my inhibition to go up because I decided to masturbate. It makes the game a constant push and pull of one day your Inhibition going down, and then the next day your Inhibition goes up, wiping out the progress you’ve made from the previous day. This is with actions that should lower your inhibition, like masturbating and the like.

I get that you want the game to be a slow loss of Inhibition and slow gain of Corruption – I actually like that (overall, I think the game is a good concept). When it comes to the game play, though, the constant up and down of your Inhibition for actions that should lower it make the game frustrating and hard to play. I don’t know the exact parameters of how you’ve set up the stats but, regardless, my inhibition should not be going up for performing sexual actions.

Like I said, though, overall, I think this is a good concept. I hope that the stats can be fixed in the next update.

i agree about the Inhibition. i tried to find a way to knock it down and have it stay down (what worked for me get drunk and baked then watch a porn and the masturbate) took off a decent chunk and only went bk up 1

There is a little bit of bisexual content with Abby, where she hints at being interested in women but there is no dedicated path that I've found with her. And her events end up with trying to complete the repeating sleepover, which does include some bisexual scenes... but if you want all of her path, then you need to include the two male roommates into one of the sleepover games. I'm guessing, based on how all over the place her achievements are, there probably won't be a dedicated romance path with her.

There is the one Fukr app date you can go on; they both leave saying they'd like to meet up again... and then there's never been an update. Really the app only seems to serve to help add body count stats and reduce other stats like inhibition, and hasn't been touched/updated in a long while.

Cassidy was the biggest 'addition' for the bisexual side. I do like the conversations she has with the MC if you go the relationship path. Such as if MC has been involved in any way with her two male roommates to which you can tell the truth or lie. My Cassidy save had not, so she had no issues telling the truth.

On Cassidy's path, I'm getting several Just the Tip errors for her page. I'm also waiting on her last event to trigger as I'm not sure what "This hint will automatically unlock after further progress." means. I chose to be in a relationship with her, quit at the record store, got a new job, and it's been about a week in-game time lapsing since her last date. This isn't entirely uncommon for other tips on other paths, but even something vague would be helpful so I know if I'm just spinning my tired or need to get a point threshold up, such as Romance.

Umm... I was hoping that Cassidy would be pure lesbian relationship path Oh well... :(
I won't have anything to do with the roommates other than chat etc.

Inhibition is a dynamic stat --- some actions have permanent effects (sexual activities, etc.) while some only have temporary effects (drinking, smoking, arousal). The reason it goes back up after masturbating is that she isn't as horny. The masturbation itself does have a minor "permanent" effect but it isn't as large as the "temporary" one related to her arousal.

Too slow to achieve progress in the game. The developer needs to change the mechanics.

The main thing to remember is you do have some relatively easy control over it. Within one-month in-game I can get inhibition down enough to walk around naked in the apartment and balcony. It's important to remember, don't focus on Inhibition. Focus on Corruption... that's the stat that'll permanently drop the Inhibition. Arousal rising will lower Inhibition, but each time Arousal drops, Inhibition will rise.

Explore whenever possible (or game it with the back button) until you've unlocked all the places to visit as early as possible.

For starting job take: Diner (waitress); or Hotel (server). That way you don't have to wait two weeks for a paycheck, you start collecting tips every shift you work in addition to your biweekly paycheck. Lets you build up a quick nest egg for rent, paying your dad back, and with a LOT leftover to hit up the Wax Bar, Sex store, Hemp shop, Bookstore, and get your looks up to 24 really fast (within a week or two in-game).

Increasing Corruption is probably the best/easiest way to quickly drop Inhibition. Some easy ways are:
  • Use the roommates for corruption, even if you don't want to hook up with them, as you don't have to in order to progress:
    • Spy on the roommates in their room and bathroom whenever you can, and touch yourself whenever offered
    • Get drunk/high which temporarily lowers inhibition so you can walk around the apartment earlier in your underwear or naked which can really ramp up the corruption when interacting with the roommates. (Use them for corruption, you don't need to actually hook up with them).
    • Do Yoga when one or both roommates are watching TV.
  • Watch porn on your laptop - mix it up daily as you get a point or two of corruption the first time you watch something, and on following days.
  • Read the erotica books and ebooks - you can read them more than once, on different days.
  • Masturbate regularly - also get the vibrator and small dildo. Yes you lose some inhibition as Arousal drops, but you'll gain corruption which helps more in the long term to drop your inhibition.
  • Progress Abby until you get get the medium dildo, and buy lube (hemp store or sex shop). I always go with the hemp store one myself.
  • Watch some porn more often, depending on what you want to unlock:
    • Anal - watch/read enough of it (it takes a good few times), and it'll show up as an option for masturbation in your bedroom. Start with a finger a couple of times and then progress to the small dildo with lube. You'll fail the first few times, but keep doing it.
    • Girl-on-Girl / Lesbian: Read it enough and her Profile will switch to say she's Curious/Bisexual and can hookup with women.
  • Use Fukr app as soon as it's available (you get a phone notification). It only has 1 male and 1 female encounter, if I recall correctly, but each will increase corruption.

I met James once in the coffee shop and nothing trigger after that. How can I fix it?

It depends on how you responded to him. If you told him you weren't interested or didn't give him your phone number, there's nothing that can be done other than starting over. You have to give him your phone number when you meet him at the coffee shop to continue that path.

Is it possible for the protagonist to get into a proper relationship yet?

I like how she can have the "stolen moments with someone who shouldn’t" while cheating with Bobby, but it would be fun for her to be able to do that from his side of things too.
