I just started playing, 25 day in, wasted a lot of time working to earn money. So im fairly new to the story and I am really confused. What does the drug do? Is it like GHB? The doc says it "greatly increases sexdrive" but the mc says it "takes away free will." Which is it? One is a super aphrodisiac the other is a rape drug. Quite a difference.

First, try not to take things too seriously.
The drug is both. It affects people slightly differently. What the MC gives girls in town is a less potent form of it. Once they come to the mansion, they are given the full dose. The specifics are intentionally left vague to allow flexibility in how different characters react (quickly or slowly) / (like an addict needing more and more or simply more open to intimacy with each dose).
As far as grinding money, at the very start of the prologue, the "Quick Introduction..." states "NOTE: In this game, there will be no grinding for stats or cash (the most you'll need is $10k). Try not to take anything too seriously."
I know those who skip the prologue may have missed this, and I suspect a few people may have skipped reading the Quick Intro text altogether. It's fine, but please understand we've tried to make LTA a no-grinding game (except for pelvises - grind those all you like)...
We get it. There are games similar to ours where you literally must grind out pennies to get enough in order to proceed. I've played some where I hold the CTRL button to skip about 75% of the time to fly through repeat grinding scenes. We wish to avoid that in LTA as much as possible.
Oh i read the introduction. I just didn't believe that 10k would be enough to last me the entire playthrough lol.
Oh and I don't think im taking things too seriously. I just like to figure out how these things work in games i play. What the logic is.
Altho I have 2 things that kinda frustrate me.
1. There is too much variation between the "Dark" moments. Like, sex on the beach with the chick from Hawaii and sophia getting abducted by her dad and raped into becoming a cum hungry whore are not exactly at the same level.
2. It is kinda confusing to figure out which quests you have to complete in order to continue the quest line. It took me like 20 additional days just to get into the bar because i had to complete A quest and I had no clue which one.
The journal is being worked on and fairly complicated with so many quests/girls.
In time it will be 100% accurate. For the time being it's advised to complete quests around the day you're on and complete quests from other girls as well.
Also, about the variation with darker moments. This game has multiple paths.
You've chosen the Dark Path for Sophia so it does get dark while choosing the Good Path will be totally different and not dark at all. There are other choices that will completely alter the outcome of certain girls, the story and more.
Yea i can understand it being a complex web with this many characters. But for some it says "complete the questline up to day x for characters y and z." Thats why i mentioned it.
Yea the Sophia dark path is... damn thats so fuckin dark. I will have to give the good path a go to scrub my brain form what happened to her. Damn.
