Thank you. This might just solve it. There is special code for some characters such as the mermaid since they have Lewds attached to them. This is really help full :D In regards to the potions I'll look further into that.
I want to chip in on this. About the "stare off" bug, I noticed it doesn't ever happen if I defeat enemies before they can even attack. It only starts happening once we both got at least one attack off, then as the turn bars are filling up they suddenly empty out completely and everything stops.
That's good to know. Also try to avoid having items with bleed(red blood drop) or poison(purple) effects on them as they also cause the face of bug to happen. There will be an update tomorrow to fix those buffs. I'm trying to see if there are other things that causes it.
