Which as much as he probably wouldn't be thrilled to be wearing it, he had to put it on at the gate and reapply in the alleys everytime he got facefucked. The mental image of Mezz doing the wide-eye open-mouth putting on mascara face each time XD

Like how the street outfit comes with mascara just so the hyenas can make it run lol

I could see Scratch doing some stealth portions but with some hacking mechanics like turning off cameras or making a machine malfunction to distract a guard. 

When going to the middle section, there's stairs leading down to a a bar in the alleys. Are those part of a future content pack or just flavor?

Deleted all my copies of the game, reinstalled it, and played with the starter included on the game and that seemed to fix it. Guess my save was corrupted (ironically and not in the fun way like Mezz).

One more time. Doing it again this morning, it started after I got caught by a thug. Was able to knock out one client, but the rest would vanish after I spoke with them.

Oops, one more time

Save files

Played through my save to confirm, second time around I got 4-5 clients to the alleys successfully before they started disappearing. might have gotten nabbed by a thug at that point. Didn't see any glitches, but exactly what I did leading up to it was talk to Mahir, pass on the fight, do the porno gig and unlocked the north section, went into the alley, went into the first thug encounter and took Skullcrusher, then did the middle section.

How do I send a file?

Just disappear after I talk to them. I carried over the save file from the last update before I talk to Mahir so maybe it's that? 

So gotten the new bad endings (very hot), but when I go through the middle section and talk to clients, I get the message that they nod their head but they disappear and I don't get any credits. I'm not able to get clients into the alleys until the third time. Is that supposed to happen or is it a glitch?

Thanks, I mostly tried to work with what I had or could get easily. Midori is perfect for getting that neon green color into drinks, bottle is cool but previous years it came in a frosted glass bottle that looked better.  If you can get your hands on a melon ramune at an Asian market it would be close to an NA Midori. 

Your explanation fits my headcannon for Mezz, mix of being a lightweight and bootleg alcohol being rocket fuel.  Some of the liquors I used come in higher proof so you could get there if you wanted (navy strength gin, bottled in bond rye and applejack, everclear). Also kind of fits the whole theme of how he sees himself vs where his limits actually are.

Did a series of fan cocktails based on the first two games:

Figured it was either high proof but questionable or Mezz was a lightweight considering how easy it is to get him blackout drunk or slutting it up in the host club lol .

Related note, working on some fan cocktails based on the games. Got a couple that aren't finalized yet but when they are I'll have the specs on FA and link to it in the fanart chat I guess.

Considering how many bars and clubs we come across, feel like there's some plants in indoor grow houses or hydroponic farms for making alcohol. Need some source of sugar for fermenting, herbs and spices for infusions, etc. Probably not high quality considering how Mezz reacts to it but enough to get the job done. 

Whoever uses red is probably the one who made the deal with the boars in the first game in addition to working with Mahir, probably some smaller bits of programming hidden in each of the other hypnosis techniques maybe that can be triggered when it's put together. 

Imagining Mezz after 4-5 Slut endings where his brain is complete mush after becoming brainwashed to bend over for every criminal species in the series XD

Mahir gives it to you after you talk to him. Mezz will refuse to wear it until you reach the host club and you've been knocked out in a fight at least once.

Minor things I ran into with the Starter Save. 1) The Skull Crush is available in your inventory when you shouldn't be able to get it normally because it was from the previous game 2) When fighting enemies and you get the Dazed condition, the Skull Crush can still be used as an item when all the other items are unable to use because of the status condition.

When you wake up in Mahir's office and he tells you he needs you to deal with Khazeem for him, he tells you that you either have to do "work" for him by going to the porn shop or you can fight him instead. If you fight him and win, he'll give you the lucky charm. If you equip it, you can't get hypno'd by the hyena mobs and it makes the fights easier.

Could have seen it also being a reference to mind control. The messages in his head are the serenade and their purpose is to humiliate and corrupt him. A cruel serenade.

Made a couple memey pieces

Latest update fixed it, thank you!

Downloaded the latest version and still having the same problem. Figured maybe it was from the old save file so started a new game and got it again. Still can't go north or out the alley

When I try, I still get hit with the hypno trigger and walk back and the thug in the alley northwest of the strip club won't let me pass.

Scratch accidentally activating one of Mezz's mind control triggers would be a fun scenario in an art piece.

Currently stuck in Entertainment District I. Found the keys, got the porn shop cutscene. but can't find any way further. Am I supposed to double back into the Barren or am I missing something?
