The only difference is that the free version is a few weeks behind the current build of the game. I think only the Patreon Deluxe build has a few cheats, but there are tools for RPGM that let you cheat also.

There's a roadmap somewhere on the Patreon page. tl;dr v1.0 with 2 endings (happy ending, corrupted ending) by year's end. With potential other routes, bad endings and side content after 1.0.

I think you need to subscribe on Patreon at $10 and stay subscribed to keep getting official versions with the cheats. Good news though, there are RPGM cheat mods you can download that are way more versatile than the included cheats in the $10 version. Bad news, you may have to do some tweaking to get some of those mods to work with RPGM MZ, which is what SKA uses.

- Vines (once per node) mostly in forested areas

- You can buy them from an outdoor merchant in each town.

- Once you have Theft I after some chapter 2 mental changes, you can steal some from the northern mine (at the cost of Corruption, so it's not really cost-effective but it's an easy early Vice increase).

There's not an explicit mental change for that, but the Values room pretty much progressively does that.

It's not one of the contestants then. Maybe the slave in the bottom right, that's the one that people miss a lot. Or the gambler under all the blackjack tables.

Presumably that's the itch price of $18.

You could go through the sewers, that's supposed to be the "pure" playthrough path to the city, and is certainly harder. Though afaik the enemies there, if you can't avoid them, give at least +1 corruption per fight, unless you use a spell that requires having completed Mountainreach, which itself is mana-intensive and challenging. And if you enter the city that way, that means no drugs and no spell.

Me, I'm a bit baffled by the choice to redraw the characters, including ones that don't get any H like Desmond. If they wanted to do a different design for these characters, it would make sense, since I can understand they used stock RPGM assets when there was no art budget. But redrawing the stock assets seems fairly pointless when the end result is really not that different.

No endings yet, and 1.0 will have a pure ending (beat the main story in Roya) and a corrupted ending (do every mental change).

No, it's not completed yet. ETA for the end of the Roya and Earth storylines is 11-12 months.

Sounds like you're missing the slave at the bottom-right of the map. Dunno about the derby, I always leave the middle one who can cross the rope safely.

What scenes? She only gets one scene in the game right now, and it's already past that point. You can go to the Clear Gem H-gallery and see hints on how to get each scene.

Just use the ability again to turn it off.

Paul gets gender-bended at one point in the game. As for the Charlotte art, I guess the dev has H-scenes in mind with her, so the character needs a new artist whether it looks worse than the original or not.

Compendium -> Aura -> Sexual.

The Roland storyline heavily leans in that direction, and we'll definitely be seeing Aura doing some more bad things further down that road. There's also the Vice path to the Albrecht storyline, which is pretty terrible behavior. Obviously there can't be a parallel game where Aura goes completely off-track from her quest, at least not before 1.0.

In fact, this is one of very few corruption games where MC is actually made immoral. It does have stealing, lying and other such actions. You have to get to the second chamber of mental changes, then Vice and Infamy become part of the game and Vice-related mental changes will be available.

About the bandit thing, the bandit leader in question is the one in the Runes forest, not on the bridge. Unless there's a separate bounty for him.

I'd say unimportant as long as you're willing to SKA them. Sathanas and Belphegor are multistage fights by default, but can be made single-stage.

I haven't done this, but here is some general information from the changelog:

the Nephlune Priestess now also opened up her church! Just speak to her if you have given her 4 drug formulas to destroy, she will give you a major corruption reducing item (Blessed Water+) and open up the church on the next day.

Here you will gain access to two new skill. The last rank I light spell "Divine Guard" which will make your Guard action twice as effective - Useful against enemies that have 1 attack that hits like a truck. And then another skill that I expect will be very useful for purity oriented players "Peaceful Mind" which negates 10 willpower damage from corruption on day start.

Up until now I've always used the Star Metals on the workshop. On Normal-difficulty lewd runs, I end up with tons of gold and way ahead of the corruption arc, so it makes more sense, especially since I use the workshop job a lot to kill time and catch up on the latest corruption scenes. When I do a run on the new Hard difficulty, the priorities may be different because of the 2x workshop costs.

Never would have thought this is what you do in between poomping the muskles.

I think that quest has been changed to become available after the Festival.

The villagers' dialogue hints at it (iirc they say if there had been enough bombs Aaron wouldn't have been injured). Also you can see the last orb in the demon domain, you can't reach it but you can tell it has to be done from the quarry. There was supposed to be much more of this kind of puzzle here but it got cut, leaving only this one that almost everyone misses.

The newb trap with the barrier is that one of the orbs you need requires a trick to reach: give the village alchemist 2 Pyromantium so that she has 10 bombs stocked (don't buy them). The next day Aaron will be at the quarry instead of in bed, so you can Open Domain on him and get to the last orb. Then Belphegor will be just be a single fight that you can SK.

Wiki says you learn Radiance from the exorcist after that quest, and I can verify that. So it doesn't seem possible to have Radiance for that fight. Either way, you can just Star Knightess the fight, assuming you got rid of the barrier first.

The pink scenes happen when Aura has 0 effective willpower when prompted to accept/decline the scene. So it starts from her nominal willpower as seen in the status screen, and then applies other modifiers, mainly any sensitivities and fetishes that apply to the scene (e.g. Hermann scenes have Cheating) and any applicable Perversions (e.g. But It's So Cute! in any scene where Aura changes clothes).

As for what pink scenes do, other than change the text, they increase (generally double) the Corruption and sensitivity / fetish gains of the scene, and also Lewdness, although each scene has an upper limit to that (e.g. first Hermann scenes won't increase Lewdness to more than 10).

Getting pink scenes takes work at first, but gets easier and easier as Aura gets lewder and has her Willpower affected by more and more curses.

AFAIK the only one of those houses that are accessible is the one with the prostitute.

Nearly all locations on the map are unlocked once a quest needs you to go there. In this case, you need to complete the Mountainreach quest (Eternal Day of Sloth), and iirc after that you get/can get the quest for Verdeaux.

iirc you need to use a Nasty Oil Coating before battle.

Drugs are actually the bomb in this game. Sometimes literally.

It's probably some curse that's dragging it down. Check the Skill Menu, especially Curses and Perversions, there are a few that drag willpower down until some condition is fulfilled.

Only thing I can think of, you're low on willpower. Which with the Eyes of Greed curse means you can't buy anything or spend money anywhere.

You can use a Blessed Water before you fight the hydrangeas, or do another H-scene (if you don't mind not doing the pink version). Maybe the guard underwear one, which doesn't yield useful stats anyway iirc.

I'm guessing this is due to Womb of Lust, which resets when you do a H-scene or use a Blessed Water, giving you back the WL it was suppressing. In that case, it's why I said you should not be affected by WoL when you start a pink H-scene chain with hydrangeas. If you got 10 more willpower than you expected, it's probably 2 days' worth of WoL. You can check it in the menu under Skill -> Curses.

As for the difficulty, this is a situation where the dev balances the game for Normal and doesn't really test Hard afaik. No shame in playing on Normal.

I think you should be playing on Normal difficulty tbh. I can't even imagine playing on Hard without knowing all the ins and outs of the game. 

I'd say the best fetish in the game right now is Lewd Knowledge, because after a certain lewd book from the Trademond bookstore, you can reach very high MATK values if you have high Lewd Knowledge. Exhibitionism also helps in a couple of ways, including the sex moves in combat.

Yeah, relying exclusively on Womb of Lust without any effective willpower modifiers (from fetishes/sensitivities and passives) gets you masturbation scenes, but only at the very start of the game. Here's what I do when starting out: do the hydrangea fight in the forest, using Star Knightess if needed to finish off the boss. Go to the Alchemist, do the pink lewd scene with him. Give him the spores, buy the potions, use one. Go to the jailer for Charlotte, do the pink scene with him, use another potion. Finally do the pink Hermann scene. Oh, and it's best to not be affected by Womb of Lust when starting this, because you'll get all that WP back after the first H-scene. Of course, you can do something like this with other H-scenes that don't end the day, like the guard exhib scenes in Trademond, as long as you have the Vit potions to counter the WP boost after each pink scene. Just make sure Corruption doesn't overflow and you get a Game Over.

Entirely possible, and it gets easier as the game goes on. Early on, you have to tank Aura's WP through:

- Hydrangea boss fights (let them use pollen until WP is 0, then finish them off)

- Letting Womb of Lust lower it over time

- Using Vitality Potions (which you can craft at the Alchemist with Mutated Spores from hydrangeas)

- Using Sweet Memories

Later on, it becomes much easier as Aura gets higher Lewdness, more lewd passives that situationally lower WP, and also more curses that lower WP.
