Nah, I think part of the issue is it would be nearly impossible to make "a walkthrough" because there are too many distinct ways to play the game. You can try to optimize unlocking lewd scenes, you can try to optimize earning victory points, you can try to optimize power gained from lewd actions, or you can wander from location to location and do your own thing. There is an incredibly detailed guide on steam that goes over a bunch of useful mechanics and demonstrates how much you can get done on the first day though. The wiki also has quite a bit of information.
An issue with a lewd scene walkthrough would be that the ending has branching decision based outcomes, so routing out every possible variant of endings and getting every lewd scene might be best done over multiple playthroughs or involve multiple checkpoints, which could be a pain to route out. I don't envy anybody undertaking such a task. Especially since the 1.1 release is going to be the start of additional bad ending paths and extra mental changes that will complicate it further.

From what I gather, the first bad ending seems to be the one with Arwin. Which is the first serious boss fight in the game outside of the prologue.

Then just bring back the old waltheough brother, even if it wasn't fully accurate. It was a great guide on the general direction you should go towards. Why is it deleted smh, they could've just slapped a obsolete label on it or something.
It went away because it was a fan-made walkthrough, and the fan who made it stopped updating it and then it got locked in google docs for inactivity.
By all means, if you have access to or find a version of it, slap some sorta obsolete label on it and post it here so that someone can pin it to the OP...
A lot of the stuff on the wiki is accurate, but a lot of the quests after the festival day quest ends don't really help a whole lot. There's some smaller strategies, but outside of that not much. For example, the wiki only really explains how to get to Winterfall by boat. There's no help identifying the path through the woods, the game indicates this is an option, and I assume is through the lake, but there's nothing really pointing you toward it.

Congrats on finishing the game. (I kinda always assumed this is one of those games that will never see finish)
And good job ? dev my gamer self was engaged. That means I will not see any smut and I will even save scum to achieve that! No seriously there have been a lot of effort put into gameplay/story/world building side to the point I think it can stand on its own legs without the porn aspect. With few changes I think it would have great success with normies.

Uh ah what? So its not really finished? What do the additional bad endings entail ? are those like game overs with a bit of art and story ? Or bad endings as in Aura becoming evil and doing bad stuff - which means some considerable amount of story and art? Any date for 1.1 ?
Also while walkthrough idd is very hard to make for such game, some guide would be great. Like having rough order of places / quests / bosses you should tackle, what to do with various materials and requirements for scenes I guess.
Because there is really no indicator of how strong something is in the game, you save and run your face into it.
The two major story threads, corrupted and defeat evil, are both finished. There are other ending planned for other storylines in the game. More scenes to be added. And I would imagine some balance changes as well. So yes, this is a complete game and the two "canonical", for lack of a better term, endings are are done. The dev is just filling out the game more.
The game actually works without the porn parts. It needs a few more breadcrumbs leading you to different options. I'd never have known there was a vault in the lake if I didn't go exploring. I also wouldn't have known how to get there without the wiki, same with Mount Firestorm.

Development is also split among other things at the same time. For example, 1.1 will also have sexier alternate versions of Aura's Earth outfits, which will have the final set of clothes added in the next prerelease as far as I know. Work is also now being alternated between Star Knightess Aura and another smaller scale project that has only had one month of development time put into it so far.
Even a guide that focuses on ordering areas by difficulty could get tricky. Enemies with sensitive noses can be pretty trivial if you have an oily coating on your weapon, but a pain otherwise. Ditto with human enemies and lightning damage. Quite a bit of the game boils down to figuring out proper resource management. Getting access to the magic academy (and the rest of the southern continent) expands Aura's toolkit significantly, but needs either a lewdness check or the combat abilities to survive consecutive fights with human opponents. Similarly, summon slime can become extremely powerful, but to get the maximum potential out of the slime you need to be on a somewhat lewd run and be willing to devote expensive materials to its development. In both the underground city and maid academy combat is entirely optional on a lewd run, but can be significant resource drains if you are trying to keep Aura's lewdness down.
1.1.0 is still months away. Although there are weekly updates for patreon members, I'm not sure if they will be included in steam updates before 1.1.0 or not, aura-dev left that a bit vague.
