good stuff

Holy shit, I *just* played through the 1.0 version a few days ago, with no translation or DLC! Nice to see this up here!

Ok, some tips (this is all based off the 1.0 version):

Bar Drinking

• The Bar/Drinking minigame can be difficult. The objective is to raise favorability and willingness to drink. Increasing favorability will unlock a Cap Battle in the overworld at 80 likability (this cannot be increased past 80 until after the Cap Battle is done). Willingness to drink increases with conversation, or by winning the Dice/RPS minigames. Note: There is a limit to how many times you can play each minigame before she won’t play anymore.
• Each woman has a different drinking tolerance, preferred drink, and disliked drinks. Choosing a disliked drink lowers favorability by 1, liked drinks increases favorability by 1. As a woman drinks more and gets closer to her tolerance, her clothes become more see-through and she becomes more willing to talk about things she wouldn’t before.
• Keep in mind, different drinks will affect YOU differently, too. The mildest drinks for you have a green symbol, and red symbols are the most dangerous. Your tolerance starts at 50, but goes up by 1 for every drink you take (max 100). My recommendation is to stick with the Green drinks until your tolerance is higher, since it allows you to drink more before passing out, and ignore any favorability drops that happen as a result, since they are easily recovered via conversation.
• Don’t be a bitch. If you are about to pass out from alcohol, don’t leave. Drink that last drink like a chad and get the extra +1 to your tolerance.
• The money for drinks comes from the Cap Battles, so if you are neglecting that minigame, you won’t have enough currency to get your chosen woman drunk. At the beginning, you may have to struggle with Blue drinks, which are inexpensive and only somewhat dangerous.
• If you win Dice/RPS, the woman will take a drink. If you lose, you take a drink (this is risk/reward play that is required to get most of the women to hit their tolerance). The drink symbol is for downing your own drink, to reset to a different alcohol. The Pointed Finger will allow you and the woman to take drinks at the same time, up to a limit (you can abuse this with Green drinks to get women closer to their tolerance, then use Dice/RPS to finish her off). The last choice is Conversation.
• I played through with no translation, so the most I can tell you is that most dialogue options are closed off until you get the woman more drunk. If there’s a response prompt, choosing the right one will either increase your favorability, force her to take a drink, increase her willingness to drink, force you BOTH to take a drink, or some combination of all 4. Bad choices will force you to take a drink (I think the Short Blue Haired idol is the exception to this, as she made me drink *a lot*; the trade off for this is that her tolerance is low).
• Last thing about dialogues, if you complete any entire dialogue box (there are 4 total), the next time you press that option, you will get a free +10 in both willingness to drink and favorability. This final +10 resets each time you visit the bar, so if you have trouble maxing out favorability or willingness to drink, by fully exploring dialogue you can get a free +40 for every visit.
• If you get the woman completely drunk you can rape I mean… make sweet, passionate love to the woman by clicking the left box. The right box will send her home safely.
• I’ve only played through the game once, so take this with a grain of salt, but if you want to avoid a bad ending
  BAD END

  DO NOT RAPE MAKE SWEET LOVE TO THE HOT YAKUZA WOMAN. There may be more options here that I’m not aware of, as I played through once with no translation on an old version of the game.

Dice:

• This is 50/50, seems like, and I don’t know the rules. I won when I thought I lost, and lost when I thought I won. Maybe it’s even numbers vs. odd numbers? I don’t recommend this game unless you have no choice.

RPS:

• The minigame that separates the idiots from people with pattern recognition. If you are struggling, that’s ok, this game is annoying.
• Each girl has… tendencies in this game, and if you can spot them, it makes winning more likely. Try to pay attention to how she responds to different matchups.
• What I’ve found is that for most of the girls, *assume they will play the same card twice in a row*. This means if she played Paper last round, assume she will play Paper this round. While it isn’t perfect, this method results in more wins than losses, at about a 75% win rate.
• THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK FOR THE BAR HOSTESS, the first girl you give a massage to. Instead, you should use the traditional RPS method of *choose the card that would have lost the last round*. The idea is, she is the girl least likely to play the same card twice in a row. If she played Paper last round, and she doesn’t play Paper twice in a row, choosing Rock will likely result in a Draw or a Win. Again, it’s not 100%, and she’s honestly the most finicky, but I’d still say you’ll win more than lose (maybe 65%).

I think most of the other mechanics are pretty self explanatory, so I won’t go into too much detail:

• Use the Green Cap Battles to shakedown encourage customers to visit your establishment. There is no limit on number of times you can launch yourself or teammates, and there is no cooldown. However, bouncing around may lower your health quickly, and can only be mitigated with higher Defense values. For this reason, getting customers in the early game is a pain. My recommendation is to get a woman up to 80 favorability in the Bar minigame as soon as possible, so you can complete her side quest and use her in Cap Battles. The Yakuza lady is actually the best for this, as her stats are insane, and you can clear her special quest relatively easily because she can clear it herself with no help from the MC (just make sure you save first before trying).
• Use the Red Cap Battles to take over a territory and meet new women.
• For every Red Cap Battle completed, a new hire becomes available from the Blue Tab in that battle’s description. Access this new hire at the massage parlor, underneath where you buy stat upgrades.
• Finishing Special Quests at 80 favorability will grant you the ability to use that woman in Cap Battles, and also gets you special items that I think give you special bonuses in various minigames (I never checked this). Side Note: the Biker Girl’s quest is FUCKING RIDICULOUS, I hope they nerfed it in the update. Holy fuck, that one sucks hard.
• Sending 2 heroines to a double-bed massage room may have nice results… although I’m pretty sure some women are incompatible with each other. I don’t know if this works with the two new girls that are employees. Experiment and have fun!
• The hand stat is attack power, the coffee cup (?) is defense, the heart is sensitivity, the broom is cleaning and movement speed, the Boob/Crotch/Legs stats I think increase the blue bottles you get for upgrading your techniques.

There was a bug in 1.0 version that made your sensitivity increases on the stat page (the heart) have the opposite effect. If you maxed it out, you’d do little-to-no erotic gauge-filling during heroine massages. Hopefully this is fixed.

That’s all I’ve got for now. I tried to describe the most complicated mechanics to make things easier for people. If you have specific questions, let me know and I’ll try to answer them. I may need some time to explore the update, tho, so I likely won’t have DLC specific answers for a few days.
