48:50, great incremental and what I always look forward to progression wise.

If you are certain, I do know what the guy may have did however.  I am still trying to test. In summary, your auto-save just saves every 60 seconds. And you can save when you have a second or less on mandrake. Then you just reload the page until you get a screaming mandrake.

Honestly, I'd recommend removing the chance based nodes regardless if you want more legit runs on the board. Because even if the top guy did not use it, someone eventually will. (Heck I was testing random based nodes and calculating the points percentage  today before I discovered that glitch, because of the small controversy over how it happened in first place.)

I've been doing tests. If you're willing to wait it's feasible to get 6-7 in three hours if you wait and refresh. I am VERY certain that is what the guy's score came from because I had 130k without the first guy giving the 500 virtue. ( and 130k approximately 5x is 650k, without doing the grind. So yes, I can very much confirm that whoever did the the 600k score very likely just spent a long time retrying a save point every few minutes.

Truthfully, I could keep going, get all 10, grab everything and send proof. But I admit to being worried a new update will come out before I can send picture proof this is what the guy did.

Yeah, what I am currently seeing is.... It's like 9999 vitality for one screaming? then assume they repeat the save every time for at least 9, one left for selling. you get practically 90000 points there.

I would recommend checking if the percentage points are multiplicative? Either way, I did a virtue less run, and only ~3 screaming drakes cheese. Based on the scores, I can confirm my theory. The players with high score likely cheesed their drakes, went virtue for both heroes, and an early foxified. Followed by getting arcanophobia at the very end of the run to multiple all magic by 4x. They could have also gotten more mandrakes via fox den or idling with the "harem" (silly idea, equal opportunity harem, recruit both heroes to manor

What is the math for every point granting stat? I think I could do all the math for you to see what they did.

Also even rarer, you can get both mandrake and screaming mandrake at once, so that would be a slight stat nudge too.

Funny enough, I got the worst effect from the witch first time. I was surprised I even had epithet.

I want to note, mandrakes still seem broken. for 20% odds, often times I don't get any. And it's been a long... long time trying to get mandrakes for the runs, and the 1 mill to buy items to help you last longer.

Yeah tis what I figured, spent the gold.

yeah I ended the run midway and I was halfway to the guy's points, so that is probably the cause. Not as impressive, mostly just lucky if they got the special mandrake for money

Ah a shame! Still I know what raised up the guy's score. It was... possibly a lucky mandrake run + foxified. Then used leisure time chasing tales and other stats to consistent get +1 in a stat, always. Even with food and sleep tasks it triggers

I was actually mid run, and in second place myself, hahaha. Just did a reincarnate to clear old save data, but based on my skills.... I think I could have reached 3000ish.

I am actually becoming super tired instead of starving to death, so I must be missing some hidden sleep somewhere, I am going to try and meditate even deeper in case that triggers it

Also, loving this and 9999 power. I do feel like this game lets you develop more options for quicker/better progress over resets though!

Chance to become immortal? Would that give more sleep?

Also beaten, but trying to find more resting spots (only table and sofa?) so I can continue a bit further in post game

edit: also umbral mirror nodes?

Thanks for addressing it. And funny enough... it seemed to fix itself after other purchases on tree. I am not sure when it fixed, but glad to see it was handled.

auto sell does not work, but also this is a much better variation on the last version of this game I saw.

Please PLEASE do this.

My main point is it's not really engaging a reward to try and get the essence and go a searching for the other endings when essence gives minimal rewards.

Thus, guess the route puzzle game.

edit: unlike the inspirations, it also does not seem to have the stats effecting how quick events go via skill levels.

I am having trouble seeing a reason for the loop? At most I can see trying to rush 1000 power evolution and trying to dump essence into essence generation.... but it does not seem to be doing anything? 

This seems more like a guess the route puzzle game rather than an incremental?

Well as I mentioned, I think the idea of more interactions with Annihilator chan could be cute. Including the despair of long silence with no one left. There is also her stopping you from going first possibly causing a reconsidering. Consider it a "gameover" for failing to complete the annihilation due to both your minds changing.

I'd definitely love an alternate ending scenario. Maybe waiting long enough makes Annihalator chan process things in the long silence. Or going for self first. Perhaps self first causes a stubborn AC to stop you.

Would be nicer if we could play with the wolves more. I do love stealth nabbing cuties.

yes

Performance issues. Particle effects seem to lag the writing, or maybe at this point all those scribes are causing gap times.

Thanks for the explanation. It was a joy to run through.

squirrels 8/15?

Another chance given... and seeing the "results" just appearing to be aesthetic and also lag the game was not very convincing.
116 scribes, 6 books. If there is an effect on getting 9 for all the corners or 10 for something else, not worth the lag.  If you intended for it to be a monetary effect, I am still getting issues of 10s of cents or less, sometimes in a row. 

well, I will give it another chance then. See if I can spot the change.

Good to know, it was incredibly fun to play as an incremental though! Lore was short but fitting for a jam game.

I mean it would help to know if there truly is a point to get it? Because I got it and it seemed to have no effect, I wound up getting bored grinding pages for more passive money that is **extremely** inconsistent to buy scribes which actually did something. 

I am not joking about the boredom bit. the slowdown between pages and chapters and new books is tiresome if you are going to make the player need to scribe letters. I had like 30 scribes and 30 books. I was STILL faster scribbling than the scribes who averaged around ~11 words each of their ticks, and I had multiple times where my books produce 10-20 cents in a row.

Also to be clear, design. 100%, art 100% sound effects, besides the explosion on completion, 100%.  The current gameplay effects are just negligible, unknown or inconsistent.

Are there multiple endings? It's a bit slow for my computer, so it would be troublesome to try different variations without confirmation there are any.

Honestly I am a little excited it may be bunny themed considering currently it's easter.

Still excited and looking forward to see what happens next. Everyone still round send your hype!

Considering how difficult coding is, and likely all the art you are working on, it makes sense it takes time! Along with your usual artworks.

I noticed it said updated a month ago. I am hyped if you consider continuing this project and/or the dungeon one.

One hundred percent this as well. Would definitely like a partially dressed frame with underwear the top of stockings and then any other accessories like gloves. A state where common sense is almost changed but not quite there.

Am excited for personally corrupting Remia and students eventually. Crossing fingers this has good rankings in the competition. (if we can add to the corruption who cares if other guys have fun with us)

Oh how delicious it could be, to have a hand in the corruption.

Honestly it would be pretty fun to see some branching events and horrors  hypnos with not only Remia being affected. 

Although someone leaning more towards domination, I also like the idea of having a hand in corrupting her.

besides the frames of her corruption. Is there any other content or a win/lose condition? In all, fun!

A free mode would be good. Hard to get to the good art without going through the very length ropeplay. Might be worth lowering the requirements to complete. Also hard to admire the art when only pause is the text box which hides lower body. In all, great game, great mechanics, just wish it was easier to replay to enjoy art
