The combat is way more transparent and clear now, but it might still need some more explanations tho. In 0.15.2 I barely had any idea what was going on or if it was even turn based. I also managed to get stuck in endless loops of being thrown down, getting up, not dealing any damage due to gathering over 60 Stacks of daze, then getting thrown down again... Since there was no Flee-Option (or at least i didn't saw anything like that) I was stuck. This system is certainly better in that regard, but i still have the feeling stuff like dodge and the like are a bit wonky and heavy rng-related. A way to get stronger by repeating battles to gather Exp or something like that would be nice so I am not stuck with 10 HP and forced to constantly heal myself.
I think it is a shame the exploration and sidescrolling world is gone now, I was lost without knowing where to go (I guess that is the definition of being lost, but whatever) in the first chapter in 0.15.2 but I still prefered it over VN-chapter selection.

Are there any requirements you need to fullfill to get certain events when you go to town?
On my recent playthroughts I noticed I never got the carwash events but stumble like daily across the Farmer's Market or Strip Club. Are those tied to the choices you make on the "main paths" or is it just based on RNG and tied to my rotten luck?
So far a nice little fun game.
The stealth in the first levels could here and there use some adjustments since there are a few spots where it is really tight to get through without being spotted. Maybe giving bigger time windows or the abilitiy/possibilty to distract guards so you can sneak by them easier.
My biggest nitpick would probably be that the writing in itself could also need some work. Besides the obvious checking for spelling errors, I think it would be a better read if the words chosen to discribe her genitals for example wouldn't always just use words like "perverted", "naughty" and so on. Kinda feels like one would say "cold snow" or "hot fire", in short: those adjectives feel pretty unnecessary (I also think those bodyparts aren't perverted just because of the nature what they are, so for me these words are also unfitting). Pink, puffy, stiff or wet for example would be much better choices if you ask me or just leave them be by themselves. I also got the feeling that some sentences are kinda repetitive, so that two following sentences discribe the same thing, which feels kinda forced to put the focus on something. I don't think there is a need to force the texts to appear longer.
That being said; so far I enjoyed the game and am curious what else there is waiting and will be in the future!
To be honest -and I say that as a long time soulsborne player- but I think the difficulty is to hard to still be considered challenging but fun. I get it that handling your resources, including stamina that won't refill automatically for Sasha, is a core mechanic, but there often is also no way to get past by enemies without fighting, which is really hard if those resources you need are really sparse and you got no stamina left for stuff like dodging or escaping grabs.
Also the fact that weapons and weapon/cloth-repair kits are this rare is a bit of a problem. I suggest adding something like a blacksmith NPC who repairs those, it could be expensive, but this way people won't end up stuck against a boss without clothes and a weapon.
This looks fun, love the style! I'm really looking forward to it how it might evolve.
Maybe turning stuff like the Baseball bat, or the element paint sprays into a secondary weapon you can use with another buttom than the attack buttom would be a good improvement?
Also, and I'm sorry for being horny, it kinda seems like this clothing damage isn't working yet, can that be?
