I'm sorry for the inconvenience. This game is in the early stages of development and may not be balanced appropriately yet.
1 - To stop the cleanliness decay you may turn on the auto cleaning in the management tab. It slightly heightens the upkeep but keeps the house clean.
2 - Money is easily earned if you and your protege work for a bit. Then as you raise your Skill Rank you earn even more,
3 - If the protege is refusing to do something - check the Joy level and love level. In *Intimacy* interaction, you need to improve your love level to unlock new actions. Also, I plan to add alternative obedience requirements and methods to improve obedience. Another reason for the protege's inability to do something may be her low energy level, thus she gets exhausted and needs to restore her energy fully, one day of only resting should easily solve this.
Thank you for your feedback, I'll strive to make the game more enjoyable to play ^_^
im sorry, there is a chance i m just bad at this, but it would be nice to have alternative evil path that just is easier to play or provide any rewards or fallback for people who can't do it
my friends recommended me the game without any directions and i probably expected it to be as similar game where i had fat stacks of riches and could earn money as bandit or slave trader if i was bad manager
Don't worry about it, we all enter new games with some expectations ^_^
And yes, the evil path is planned but it's still some time away, it first needs the Obedience system update, and afterward, you will be able to do different nasty stuff and profit out of Brothels and other similar institutes. But~ It's all in the near future (I hope that I will be able to start working on that after a few updates).
