Combat Encounters 2.0 & Slut Path

Combat System:

• Introducing the new card system~
• All actions in combat now require the expenditure of Initiative governed by Tenets, your new shiny replacement for armor.
• Cards possess distinct abilities to inflict various types of damage and apply a diverse range of status effects.
• These effects can be strategically employed to dispatch targets efficiently or protect  Saria from incoming attacks.

New Status Effects:

• In addition to the existing status effects, a set of new status effects has been introduced.
• Notable additions include Dodge and Block, which provide additional defensive options to players.
• The newly introduced status effects are generally stackable, allowing for more strategic gameplay.

Enemy Balancing:

• Enemies' combat statistics have been entirely rebalanced to align with the changes made to the combat system.
• Things won't be as easy anymore, eh ?

Telegraphing:

• Techniques used by enemies are now telegraphed on Saria's turn, allowing players to get an idea of what they should expect to happen and make a decision based on it. Perhaps you don't want to gain that pesky Mouth Corruption, eh ?
• To gain insight into an enemy's upcoming move, players can hover over their sprite, revealing the details of their intended action.

User Interface:

• To facilitate the exploitation of different damage types, an improved enemy health bar has been introduced.
• Players can now hover over the health bar to access additional information, such as passives, weaknesses, health, pleasure and so on.
• To increase readability/visibility of lewd actions and Cut-Ins during combat, extra HUD elements are hidden while those occur. 

Unique Boss Passives:

• Select enemies, primarily bosses, now possess unique passive abilities that add a twist to the encounter.

Card Collection and Deck Management:

• By defeating enemies, Saria can now collect cards that were previously used by them.
• The collected cards are categorized based on the faction affiliation of the enemy from which they were acquired.
• Saria's deck capacity is limited to a maximum of 9 cards, which are randomly drawn during combat.
• The likelihood of drawing a specific card is influenced by the number of other cards or duplicates present in the deck.
• The total of Combat Cards, as of Chapter 1's soon to come end, is 51.

Accessories/Tenet Menu

• The equipment menu has been completely remade and integrated into the new Deck menu.
• The Accessories button can be hovered to get a quick glimpse of the currently equipped Tenet and Accessories, or clicked to access the menu itself and change them. 

Tenets:

• Tenets have replaced armor and levels as the primary source of stat progression in the game. Just like Cards, they can be acquired from bosses, quests, mooks.
• In addition to such generic benefits as increased maximum stamina, pleasure and initiative, some Tenets will also provide Anomalous Cards in the near future.

Accessories:

• Accessories have also been completely reworked to match the card system. They provide smaller buffs and benefits in comparison to Tenets. 
• The amount of Accessory slots available is dictated by the Tenet.

Items:

• Items overall have been made more expensive and offer a bigger hand in helping resolve an encounter.

Slut Path: 

• Increasing the Pleasure of an enemy is now a viable strategy, both as a means to an end and as a full-stop.
• Mooks and Bosses have been given certain Pleasure thresholds that once passed inflict debuffs upon them.
• Bosses can now be neutralized or "neutralized" if their Pleasure gauge is filled up.
• Enemies are now more sensitive to Pleasure damage inflicted by their favored bodypart, be it by their own hand or by Saria's.
• Boss CGs and Defeat Scenarios have been moved outside of combat and replaced with their VN-esque counterparts making them easier to skip through.

Passive Arousal:

• The per-turn passive corruption gain from Saria simply being aroused has been scrapped.
• Replacing it are disruptive cards with various effects that have an escalating chance of being drawn (instead of combat cards) based on Saria's pleasure level. 

Sidejob : Masseuse

Reason enough to dress Saria up in a pseudo-maid apron with not much underneath.

To keep it simple : Clients come in afflicted with random States.

• Clints have various difficulty levels, some spawning with multiple afflictions.
• Each affliction removed increases the amount of money Saria receives at the end of a massage.
• Afflictions are removed by either using a gentle approach or a rough one, using the opposite side of the spectrum will potentially upset Saria's client and make him leave.
• Each Massage Technique potentially increases the Client's Pleasure and so does Saria's uniform state, making them likely to do lewd stuff…

Like requesting lewd services in exchange for a bigger tip.

• CG : Straps
• CG : Reverse
• CG : Oil Accident
• CG : Intruder
• Hardcore Pose : Masseuse 69
• Hardcore Pose : Masseuse Nuru
• Hardcore Pose : Masseuse Cowgirl
• Cut-In : Masseuse Undress

Also, btw, wink, nudge : 

• Added a Cut-In Gallery to the Theatre, under the name of "Promo".
• Remade some easier to use Cheats (so you bozos stop bricking your saves by increasing the [REDACTED] variable) such as one click away unlocking all CGs or Cut-Ins in the Theatre.
• Removed the murder-hoboing option from some NPCs, as funny as it is it cucks my ability to make some sidequests and include the characters in an overall plot.
• Remastered the volume on some of the songs
• Dozen other changes that I can't remember
