The "Bar Rescue Tiki Curse" is a widely known phenomenon in the bar and restaurant industry, popularized by the reality TV show "Bar Rescue." This curse refers to the alleged negative consequences that can occur after bar owners decide to change their establishment into a tiki-themed bar following a visit from the show's host, Jon Taffer. In the show, Jon Taffer, a renowned bar and nightclub consultant, helps struggling bar owners revamp their businesses and turn them into profitable ventures. One of the recurring themes in the show is the transformation of failing bars into tiki-themed establishments. Taffer believes that the tiki concept has the potential to attract customers and increase profits, as it offers a unique and immersive experience. However, some bar owners who have opted for this transformation claim to have experienced a series of misfortunes thereafter, leading to financial losses, customer dissatisfaction, and even the eventual closure of their bars.

Does anybody know the best ways to increase your chances of getting molested/accosted on the train or by passerbys?

IDK about the mod, but normally in the game, you can play a card which increases molestation (I think in and out of battles).
The status effect it gives you is like a broken purple pearl.

I assume it works the same way in the game.

A part of the base game,

Also "play a card"? I'm sorry but I don't think I've run into that yet. Is it an item you acquire or part of the system?

It's in the base game, I think you can acquire or probably buy it at one of the shady stores, forget where, but its definitely there as I used it a few times. It increased the train chances, but also made the passersby more aggressive.

Does anyone know if turning the difficulty higher makes it so that lewd encounters inflict higher levels of pleasure? Or do pleasure attacks stay constant at all levels of difficulty?

Also does higher clothing mean pleasure attacks are weaker?

They use to be sold in the Nether Ward. I remember it from the Demo and i'm fairly sure i remember buying them in the full game (jap & eng)
I can nolonger find it, but then again maybe the mod changed it. There is a guy that's just selling candy. Maybe he sells it after a requirement is met.

For anyone interesting in trying the mod out who doesn't mind MTL
- bought the game on Steam,
- changed its language to Chinese (Right Click in Steam Library -> Language)
- downloaded the game
- downloaded and pasted decensor patch from Kagura website
- downloaded and pasted Chinese mod
- ran the game via Mtool and translated it to English

The mod was quite good. It made some aspects of the game refreshing and felt like it speed up some aspects that I used to find annoying in the past (running past traps requires QTE input combination instead of spam struggle bar, etc).
Beware though, I kinda gimped myself in order to try out all the different new debuffs, by the time I made it to the Secret Club I had to save scum every other fight because if tentacle enemies would just go for restraint attack instantly the fight would turn into a tedious (and hopeless) struggle fest. Basically the mod may make some aspects of gameplay feel a bit more frustrating if you're playing corruption build/path.

He is in the Slum area right? I remember him showing up once you get to that area. He is there pretty consistently afterwards. Otherwise you can always edit your save and just give yourself a bunch of those cards.

Translator Notes :

Morning everyone, so this is my first ever translation project that I decided to give a go at translating. With my very rusty Japanese, DeepL, Japanese Dictionary, Onomatopeia meanings, I've done every line of dialog in the game. And have done it for a while now that I'm just saying screw it, I'll release now. Unfortunately the story for the Villian, I believe, is a video file. And the story for the main heroine is done thru images. So unless some one want's to work on those, they will stay in Japanese. Also missing is the English for the dress up screen, which is once again thru img files. And a few battle text but it's a RPGMV game so it's not hard to figure out those and not really necessary. PS: F**K Yankee/delinquent speech and slurring of words. What a pain those are.

And If one wants to do it the old fashion way, here are the files for the translating. Just unpak it View attachment BK data.rar in the data folder replace the files. www > data
Also put the RPG-files in www>img>picture and overwrite them
Also if one is feeling a little generous, please feel free to donate to my paypal account as a thank you tip

Latest Patch File for V1.09 (Last updated July 25th)

To install: take the folders and file inside, insert them into full game's folder and allow them to overwrite everything.

How good is this MTL: Text was put through 3 Machine translation tools. DeepL, Sugoi and ChatGPT. Either best result was used or some manual tweaking was done to improve it. The game also got a full proofread pass. The whole process in total took like 5 months. So it should be of reasonable quality.

I hope there will be something similar when the full game eventually releases, some of the things that the creator has been posting look really good.

Where do I find that? I got something called Mysterious Ring and Mysterious Stone Fragment. I did see something flashing in the jail cell, but I do not know how to access it.

Did you talk to a Fairy that wants a carrot and did you give her a carrot?
One of the friendly fairies gives it after you do an errand for them. I don't remember exactly which one.

From what I understand, not really. The paid versions consist of single fights/mechanics of the game to test.

Ah, yeah. Developer got sick during spring-early summer and had trouble recovering IIRC.
You can check the developer news

In a nutshell, chapters 2 out of 5 are finished and in the demo, the rest is nearly completed too.
Chap 3 just needs couple of finishing touches, the other two are like 70ish % done? They posted a more detailed summaryon 20th August in the link.

They were working on other stuff, not only chapters, like permanent bad end state at the end, QoL and other features while also teasing unreleased content.

However, some bar owners who have opted for this transformation claim to have experienced a series of misfortunes thereafter, leading to financial losses, customer dissatisfaction, and even the eventual closure of their bars. These alleged consequences have been tagged as the "Bar Rescue Tiki Curse." The curse is said to manifest in various ways.

Some bar owners have reported difficulties in attracting the right clientele or maintaining a consistent customer base. Others have faced technical problems, such as issues with the bar's plumbing, electrical systems, or equipment failure. In some cases, customer complaints about the tiki concept being kitschy or inauthentic have proven detrimental to the bar's reputation. Skeptics argue that the curse may be attributed to poor management skills, an inability to adapt to the tiki theme, or a lack of understanding of the target market. They believe that the tiki concept, when executed correctly and in line with customer preferences, can be successful. However, proponents of the curse claim that there is a supernatural or unexplainable force that causes the downfall of these bars. Regardless of one's belief in the curse, it is essential for bar owners to carefully consider the potential risks and challenges associated with any major business transformation. Planning, market research, and a willingness to adapt are crucial to ensuring the success of a bar, whether it embraces the tiki concept or any other theme. Ultimately, the "Bar Rescue Tiki Curse" serves as a cautionary tale for those considering major changes to their businesses..

Reviews for "Bar Rescue's Tiki Curse Chronicles: A Journey to Redemption"

1. John - 1 star

I found "Bar Rescue: Tiki Curse" to be extremely disappointing. The concept seemed interesting, but the execution was way off. The show seemed more interested in creating unnecessary drama than actually helping the struggling bar owners. The host, Jon Taffer, came across as obnoxious and arrogant, constantly barking orders at everyone without offering any real solutions. The episodes felt scripted and fake, lacking the authenticity and genuine advice that made the earlier seasons of "Bar Rescue" so successful. Overall, I would not recommend "Bar Rescue: Tiki Curse" to anyone looking for an entertaining and informative show about rescuing bars.

2. Sarah - 2 stars

I was excited to watch "Bar Rescue: Tiki Curse" as a fan of the original "Bar Rescue" series. However, I was left disappointed and unimpressed. The show felt repetitive, recycling the same formulaic structure in each episode. The lack of fresh ideas made it difficult to stay engaged. Additionally, the "tiki curse" theme seemed forced and gimmicky, and it didn't add any real value to the show. It felt more like a plot device rather than a meaningful concept. Overall, "Bar Rescue: Tiki Curse" failed to live up to the standards set by the original series, and I was left wanting more substance and creativity.

3. Mike - 1.5 stars

I have been a fan of "Bar Rescue" since its early seasons, so I was eager to watch "Bar Rescue: Tiki Curse." However, this iteration of the show left a lot to be desired. The so-called "tiki curse" storyline felt contrived and unnecessary, detracting from the real issues at hand. It seemed like the producers were more focused on creating drama and sensationalizing the struggles of the bar owners rather than genuinely helping them. The host, Jon Taffer, came across as less empathetic and more confrontational in this season, which made the show less enjoyable to watch. I hope that future iterations of "Bar Rescue" go back to the show's roots and focus on providing practical solutions and guidance to struggling bar owners.

4. Emily - 2.5 stars

"Bar Rescue: Tiki Curse" was a bit underwhelming for me. While I appreciate the attempts to introduce a new theme, the execution fell flat. The tiki curse concept felt forced and lacked depth, making it difficult to invest in the show. Additionally, the drama seemed overplayed and unnecessary, taking away from the main focus of the series: rescuing struggling bars. The host, Jon Taffer, appeared less genuine and more scripted in this season, which was disappointing. Overall, I found "Bar Rescue: Tiki Curse" to be a mediocre addition to the franchise, failing to deliver the same level of passion and expertise that made the original series successful.
