How does gender and orientation affect dating routes?

The game allows pursuing any character regardless of player's gender or orientation. However, certain conditions must be met for some NPCs to unlock their routes based on their own orientations.

Dating System

• In versions 1.0–1.5a, Hana, Charlotte, and Dante were available for dating regardless of player orientation. In version 1.6, only Hana and Charlotte are currently available.
• Dante's dating route is temporarily hidden due to ongoing rework on his dialogue and images.
• Characters with active dating systems will display a heart-shaped icon indicating their availability.
• Hana's first event occurs after obtaining her contact; she will text you to meet at the shop during night time.
• Charlotte can be found at the gym, but only if you work there as a trainer. In version 1.7, this condition will change.
• The game is in Early Access, and dating content for additional characters is planned for Patch 1.7 scheduled for late July.

Character Interactions

• Transgender NPCs have specific preferences based on their identity; a trans woman with a vagina likely prefers men, while a trans man with a penis typically prefers women.
• If your gender conflicts with an NPC's preference, you may not receive the default red heart but can still progress to dating if you meet certain conditions.
• Choosing a player orientation that matches who you want to romance will make the dating route smoother.

Character Development

• There is a character who starts off shy and easily frightened, but with the right choices in conversation, she can change unexpectedly.
• Explore conversations thoroughly to influence character development positively.
