Introduction
This is only a general framework for a good second playthrough. That means less exposition, and more checklists. No opinions regarding RP tradeoffs/investing will be given, just general reminders regarding such events. Chests of note (especially items) will be mentioned. Pointers toward missable content (especially content with benefits) will be given.

That means you'll be seeing "Don't forget to clear every log for +RP all around," but not "Sex it up with this prostitute for these gains and losses."

If you're looking for a guide to relationship points, it can be found here.

If you're looking for a more in-depth walkthrough, two different versions can be found here and here. The first link goes to a first-time-through, hold-your-hand walkthrough, while the second is a slightly text-intensive "absolute optimization" affair, complete with min-maxing and investment guidance.

Bullet points may have color-coded text: equipment in orange, consumables in aqua, and Sex Scenes + Relationship Points (RP) in green. Furthermore, money bonuses will be in pink -- but only the most notable changes will be listed. Finally, items of exceptional interest will be denoted in purple.
