Fun concept, cute art - but forced way too many instances of having to save scum or reset to prior saves, or start over entirely (Hat Mansion especially - just softlocks the player into bad end and you'd better hope you can figure out a good autosave to roll back to).

I've had several false starts that require a hard reset - followers are insanely expensive at the start, especially since they are "disposable" and likely to lose some after 1 battle. Even with hiring out all available followers, you are still out-numbered and under-leveled for beginning battles on the map; and no point in even trying to level them since they will eventually leave. But there's no other way to gain exp - so you're basically throwing away 300~400 gold for one or two battles. (that's if you win; a loss basically requires a reset as then you're broke or have to go fishing by yourself repeatedly many times to afford to try it again.)

It's odd that some combat abilities require a "Move" tile left, and others dont - but the info card for abilities don't describe that. Most other SRPG allow "move" + "action" as separate objects. If the system here is going to be restricting actions based on if you moved 3 steps or not, each move info card needs to specify "consumes 1 move" or "consumes 2 moves".

Is there just some specific questline you are "supposed" to follow at the start to get a good leg up to overcome starting difficulty; and I've just walked every other path instead? 
Fawn girl seems to send you too far away for a starting quest; Mermaids want to siege a fortress - seems like a Bad Idea at Lvl 2. Hat Mansion %#!@%$ - neat concept, but after fully exploring and basically getting "haha softlock or bad end - load prior save" I'm not excited to go through it again. Cat alley in town = another "reload a prior save" instance due to how much you lose (funny and makes sense at least though :) .

I want to like this game, and it has potential; but after a few hours of basically wasted time for no meaningful progress , I also want to walk away entirely.

The info cards should already indicate move and combat ability cost. Each ability on the UI, both when examining a follower/companion or when the mouse over an ability of the selection bar at the bottom of the battle screen, should indicate the move and combat ability cost with the white and red markers when you examine the ability which correspond to the markers on the left of the battlers on the map.

Amour Aquatic is a relatively easy quest for low level character. You will be able to free some prisoners to fight alongside you in the cells there. Den of Mischief is also pretty straightforward.

I found the move icon on the infocard finally - I thought the white and red arrows were some sort of "element" or debuff icon; not a "cost". (since all the other cost/stat info was text, was very confusing until I figured that out.)

Started the mermaid Amour Aquatic quest; actually felt fairly balanced with all the NPC assist, even took the full route, got wolfgirl as well, took out the "boss" encounter guarding the ship to escape.

Haven't found "Den of Mischief" quest. Tried the "Prisoner of Twisted Grove", cleared most of dungeon with save scum because i can't afford stone cure potions. Got to boss, get entirely wiped out and guess it's clearly meant to be impossible fight at this level (lv 3/4 vs lv9s?!). Yay save scum to reset. Had to save scum three more times to get the "60% chance" to escape to succeed, to avoid a death/gameover/reset on failure.

Everything's just too expensive to not save scum. :(

I'm still trying to play because there's a fair amount of promise here, but this game feels more punishing than Ero Dungeons! (Darkest Dungeons, but lewd)

One of the early game techniques to build up some money is simply to do some fishing with Joyce the Fishmonger. Equip something that boosts Foraging, sail the ocean on North Shore which has no enemies, and you can get a few hundred gold without too much issue. Transfer any followers out of the party so you don't have to pay them upkeep while you do so.

Recruiting followers at low levels will also be cheaper in the next 0.2.x update when it reaches a public release.
