The player (who must be male) starts at level 7, with improved attributes an a couple of good traits. (Limb Training 1, Tongue Training 1, Sex Training 1)All NPC's start at level 1, but get the following additional traits:
- Level Drainer. This has been refurbished a bit. When their opponent cums inside of them (anally or vaginally), they will drain all the experience the opponent has stored up since their last level-up, plus one. This means the opponent will lose a level, but only be one point shy of levelling up again. Level Drainers cannot gain experience through regular means, only by stealing them in this manner. They can only drain one level per fight.
- Strong Hold. This is a new one. It improves the strength of Submissive Hold (which displays as Hand Lock or Leg Lock depending on the position)
- Tight. Nothing changed here. Boosts pleasure inflicted when being fucked, also unlocks Tighten and may block Pull Out from succeeding.
- Hole Control. Unchanged as well. Further boosts fucking pleasure.
- Unsatisfied. This is the kicker. Once they reach 50% arousal, the pleasure and temptation they receive is drastically lowered unless it's caused by fucking. This makes it nearly impossible to make them cum without fucking them.
The gist of it is: Fucking them is a really bad idea, but you have no other choice.
Finally, the player starts without clothes. There's nothing stopping you from buying clothes after the first match, but if you want the 'authentic experience', don't.
This start is pretty challenging, but just in case you're either very confident in your ability or simply love being overpowered, there is also the Reverse Drain Challenge [Hard Mode]:
- The 1 drain per fight restriction is lifted. They can now drain you as often as you can cum.
- Instead of just getting the XP they steal, they get a free level-up PLUS whatever they steal.
- Level Draining also drains a lot of Stamina.
- All the girls start with a succubus pussy.
- In addition to the traits they get from the non-Hard Mode variant, they also get Rut. This causes them to randomly become Frenzied whenever they are at or above 50% arousal. Most significantly, this allows them to use Pounce (which is just another name for Tackle), which will very likely lead to Cowgirl on the next turn. It should go without saying, but being in a submissive sex position is a really bad thing in this start.
This variant is really hard. You can make it a bit easier on yourself by choosing Exhibitionist as your starting strength. If you want a 'legendary' difficulty, pick Pussy Whipped as your starting weakness.
(Edit: I realize now I haven't fully tested this, but you should run the Hard Mode with the actual Hard Mode flag enabled. It should do so automatically, but I haven't checked if that works. In other words, you need to play with NPC Bonuses enabled)
I added some more ridiculous things to hard mode in a private branch, making it even harder. If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll send you a build.
