Gameplay & Mechanics: Status & Path

In this post, I'm going to describe the most important part of this game. Because of the low-quality graphics, I want to compensate with interesting gameplay, one that makes players play the game multiple times and explore possibilities.

ENTITIES

There are several things we must define before discussing the mechanics in detail. 

The first entity is called an "event". A series of events will occur throughout the entire game. Events have pre-determined order due to the integral importance of the story. There are 2 types of events. 

  1. Regular event: This type of event relates to the story progression. These events are automatically triggered after some conditions have been met, and the player cannot avoid the events.
  2. Lewd event: This type of event relates to sexual interaction among party members. The player can intervene to dismiss a lewd event in exchange for a certain amount of energy tokens, voyeur the event, or ignore it.

The second entity is called a "path". A path determines the ending of the game. The player must satisfy certain requirements to unlock a corresponding path. Some paths are harder to achieve than others. Some paths are almost impossible to achieve in the first playthrough. The path of the game will be determined at the end of the game. 

STATUS

An important component that dictates the occurrence of events and the ending is the status of each character.  There are several types of statuses in this game. 

  1. Kota's Lust: This stat varies based on regular events and lewd events. This mostly dictates Kota's AI.
  2. Ferra's Bond: This stat increases when the player chooses correct responses from an event related to Ferra.
  3. Ferra's Lust: This boolean stat will be triggered when the player allows a lewd event to occur with Ferra.
  4. Sabina's Bond: This stat increases when the player dismisses a lewd event between Sabina and Kota and takes Kota's place.
  5. Sabina's Lust: This boolean stat will be triggered when the player allows a lewd event to occur with Sabina.
  6. Oblivious Point: This stat increases every time the player chooses to ignore a lewd event.

LEWD EVENTS

When Kota's Lust reaches a certain level, his AI will automatically navigate him to the nearest girl. When he reaches a girl, he will wait for a turn. If the player reaches the girl in the following turn, the player can either intervene or voyeur the event. The player can also choose to ignore by choosing to do other things in that turn. If the girl is Ferra, the event will be dismissed. If the girl is Sabina, the player will unlock a lewd scene between Sabina and Nestor, which increases Sabina's bond. To increase Ferra's bond, the player must choose the right responses during the regular event. The player will gain an Oblivious point if he/she decides to ignore a lewd event.
