Here's the deal - the most annoying part of this game is that words disappear after synthesis. Mess up the order and you're stuck. I wasted three whole days on Chapter 1 before realizing you have to win a race to get the park map, and if you don't grab [Mind] at the rapids estuary, the whole story breaks. This guide maps out every single pitfall I hit. Follow this order and you'll cruise through Chapter 1 with 300K gold, unlocking every H-scene along the way. I've marked must-grab items and easy-to-miss checkpoints so newbies can just copy my homework.

Check Your Patch Before Playing! Must Install Before Launch

Installing patches after starting a new game will likely corrupt your save with tons of bugs, like missing Phantom Thief traces 45. All domestic adult games require patches - it's non-negotiable. Patch: Just Baidu "kagura fan" (remember: BEFORE starting a new file)
