So I've noted a strange oversight or bug. The sweatband item says that it reduces the stamina cost to escape from 50 to 40, which doesn't seem to be true.  I thought that it was some strange, "It costs 40.2 stamina now, and as a dehydrated boi, your 40 stamina isn't enough." But then I improved my stamina max while dehydrated to 46, and it is still greyed out.   I understand that it is my fault for not managing my hydration properly because whenever a woman shows up I fold like laundry, but if combat starts at max distance, I should be able to nope out with a full stamina bar and the sweatband.

Side note, I have ~22-23 hours (Save file says 18:15:32, but I know I've lost hours to resets and game-overs,) and am enjoying  all content so far.  I think it would be neat if a future build if you could "invite" more former foes to laze at the home/base.  Also it would be neat if with my favorite girl failure, Trash Panda, had an alt. pose/scene.  The way I'm thinking is that you would eat any food, she notices and asks for you to share, rewarding you with the choice of a random low tier item/credits (Besides food,) or for her to sit on your face.

Other note about fetishes: I surprised that I haven't seen a single "Show Feet/Toe Beans" request since other fetish RPG's I've played have a foot fetish, even if in those games it is under cooked.  Personally I would like to see an out there fetish like, "Floral fauna," or " Animate Inanimate," but I'm satisfied with the current pool for the entity types. 

Noticed that the M-110 Hunting rifle isn't giving any Marksman Exp...

Civil question: I like how night time in the game adds two new enemies for the street map, but do you think you'll add 1-2 entities to the small buildings/sewers that get put into the encounter pool at night?  Not demanding that you add it to the Westview, (though it would be nice for the free demo in a later version), but for the non-delves going forward?  When I wasn't super stacked to defend myself or heal, I would go from the base and try get to the delves from the sewer system, so I could see keeping the sewer free, but there is no reason to go into one of the neighbor's homes (outside of grinding Exp.)

Edit* At night, no reason to enter a house at night.

On the topic of fetish grinding/the fetish system in general, I'd really like to see some kind of system where you could allocate points to each fetish category to either make yourself more or less vulnerable to receiving stacks of it, all (except for your chosen weakness at the start) would be a neutral "0" at the start and work how they do currently, you can then remove points from a category (making yourself more vulnerable to receiving stacks of that category) to invest points into a different category (becoming more resistant to receiving stacks of that category).

So for example you could take points out of [fetish A], becoming +33% more vulnerable to stacks (you have 33% chance to get double the stacks each proc), and put the points into [fetish B], gaining a 33% chance to ignore stack applications of this category.

Effectively, this lets the player make fetishes they like less grindy, and also make it less likely for them to develop weaknesses to things they really just don't like.

You can also tie this in to difficulty options, lower difficulties gives you free points to invest and also makes resisted fetishes be able to decay slowly each day, higher difficulties make it so there is a long cd on reapplying points (so you can't just swap out stats for each dungeon all the time).




Completely unrelated but id really really really love if the Malo sleep interaction eventually gave you the option to just snuggle if you want. Maybe you could also wake up with a comfort buff of some sort.

I was playing Fear and Hunger 2 and died in a fake safe room (rip 2 hours, should've known that moldy bed was a trap) , and thought it would be a neat idea to add. 
Basically the way it could be incorporated is a creepy safe room that has a bed, and all tiles besides a single tile where you interact with the bed are blue, but that tile next to bed is green.  Since it is a single tile, I doubt anyone would be able to get into combat since it is step based to trigger a fight, but the fact that the watch changes from blue to green should warn the player something is up.

Resting and relaxing won't do anything different, but trying to sleep would trigger an "ambush" like Mal0.  I'll leave the entity to your imagination, but I could see something like a ghost, sleep paralysis demon, a nightmare, or a living doll being the ambusher.  Maybe you'd get an item like with Mal0 that would allow them to follow you from the safe room to any other bed.

Also, if you want to take this idea and run it, you could easily add it into either a way later update or a delve.  Or don't, that's also a much easier option.

So I know the idea of the Parlor is quick NPCs to crank out, but what if an NPC were to instead of paying you while working the hole they give a note that adds them to the game? Like "meet me at X house on Y street, in area Z" and they become an enemy to encounter, only after getting the note.

Of course, after a poll/enough requests.
