how do I get tiffany ? 

So I'm confused what's the fastest way to get glory?

For some reason parts of the screen arent in my phone like im zoomed in any idea how to fix that as i have an samsung galaxy s20 

I know it’s somewhat late for this type of comment but I’m of two minds about this game so far.

I’ve been playing it for a bit and like a lot about the game’s flow. Cassandra starts out nigh unbeatable and you’re just controlling the bleeding while trying to build up your own strength, weakening her as you prepare to pounce and reverse the roles.

This is a fun dynamic and gives the game some nice tension. It’s quite satisfying once you decide you can actually start winning and flip the switch to go aggressive.

The game also has a lot of content and it’s satisfying to advance all the different tracks. But I think it also tries a bit too hard to no lose all its teeth, so to speak.

So some progression spoilers from here on out

Cassandra has 4 categories of cards. There’s her “personal cards” which are the ones you weaken by blackmailing her Her reputation card, which weakens as you progress with her overall blackmailing tracks There’s Tiffany’s card which stands on its own And there’s her “support cards”. Things like interns and empty wallet which you can’t weaken.

So the thing is that as you advance through Cassandra’s blackmail tracks (this COULD be related to glory thresholds from you but that doesn’t seem to be the case) and her personal cards get weaker, the game fights back and tries to up the difficulty by enhancing her support cards. Additionally you lose max hand size and start getting random hostile events when trying to explore (something other people have complained about).

This ends up making the game quite difficult again because the support cards are quite powerful and having less cards in general really hurts. Additionally, the dynamics of the game are a bit all over the place. In the “survival stage” one of your main goals is accumulating resources. By the time I decided to go on the offensive, I had around 1200 money and blackmail. But you need to spend a lot of those resources in order to win against Cassandra, especially since in some ways, your work weakening her personal cards gets undone, as she becomes strong with a whole different set of cards which are by and large, all strong in inconvenient ways.

So it ends up feeling like the game sort of punishes you for not “finding a sweetspot” where Cassandra is juuust weak enough to be beaten but not weak enough that her support cards become oppressive, which seems a bit counterintuitive.

It also feels a bit weird, if you finish all of Cassandra’s tracks, for example, she has essentially no money, yet “empty wallet” is now a “loads of riches” card. But does mean that there is a very genuine fear that you get into an irrecoverable situation.

At this stage of the game, smaller hand, hostile overworld and more aggressive Cassandra means that taking a break to gather more resources (as you DO burn through those so easily) as she desperately tries to claw back from 0 glory (where you will easily put her at the tail end of your survival stage) doesn’t really feel feasible, you’re bleeding more than ever and it’s hard to hoard anything, despite you having weakened Cassandra as much as you can.

Again, it’s a bit like you’re being told that you went too hard on what the game told you to do (at least initially). At where I am as I write this, I’m between 700 and 800 glory, I believe I have between 200 and 300 money and blackmail and I’m not sure how longer I can go on. I think I can win from here, playing more carefully and all, but I have more than half of emili’s track as well as the entire “optional tiffany” track you pay for to go through in terms of events and I don’t at all believe I have any chance of getting through those, because the game will not allow me to claw back if I cede any ground. I have become too powerful and, thus, the game is too hard and too punishing.

So… yeah. For people wanting to get into this, 1200/1200 not really enough to claw through the glory hoarding stage of the game comfortably. You DO get access to some more powerful cards later on once Cassandra gets whore status but looking for them becomes risky because half the time you trigger an overworld event that’s just you getting beaten up for less 20 energy (which becomes hard to hoard as you’re probably going even harder for work in battles now) and money (which is dwindling as you pay to get her influence down).

Other than that, the combat system IS interesting and HAS fun dynamics. All of the 4 allies are really useful and well worth the quest chains and there is A LOT of nice erotic content here. Just a shame the progression becomes a bit of a slog in the end in that way.

is there any way to full screen?

Absolutely love this game, well done. The pace that the difficulty and reward ramps up is very refined and it was cool that I could pivot my deck to a higher risk/reward setup when the sex cards started becoming available. I can see all the potential for different setups. A couple of questions if you have the time:

1. How do the “Whore” cards work? I haven’t figured out how to implement/use them

2. What does Cassandra’s “work” accomplish? Is this what allows her to upgrade her cards/nerf the player or is that determined by something else?

Also I know the game is complete but a couple of constructive criticisms that could be helpful for future similar builds:

1. The punishment factor for traversing town is too great after a certain point (getting jumped all the time, random events that make you lose stuff). It becomes annoying and counterproductive to explore, even though the most interesting deck building elements are available in town at this point in the game. The difficulty should be (and is) in battling Cassandra, not clicking around town.

2. It would be nice if you didn’t lose cards completely when you removed them from your deck. There should be a reserve pile that you can add/subtract from. 

3. I know there are some tutorial elements but a comprehensive manual with explanations of all the cards would be nice. 

this game is gold so far
