    Specialized Mechanics

  • BodyCount: Unique sexytime choice-based/challenge minigames per character.
  • >> BodyCount Tate: Threshold-overload based hookup sequence with randomized scenes that escalate based on how turned on you get yer date. Overloading by X% will trigger one of the requirements for Tate's companion quest. Tate has a second twist where you can basically activate "extra horny" mode with different hookup dialogue if you hit on his specific kinks.
  • >> BodyCount Hex: BDSM-based hookup event(s) with the player as a top. Features a spanking loop & unlockable items-based instructions/choices! I know, right?
  • >> BodyCount Laila: Endurance-based hookup minigame with Laila as a top - she's got an expanding pool of preferences based on your interactions, bodycount, & story events; and chooses one scenario from the pool each time you hook up (failing your "endurance test" wink wink sends you back to the scenario pool). She also remembers whether you've been a Good player or a Bad player over time & changes her dialogue!
  • >> BodyCount Juno: NPC-driven unlockable narrative hookup minigame featuring a lot of very creative problem-solving in the realm of ghost x human hookups. Playing through scenes/"solving problems" will unlock the hookup path/option permanently!
  • Jealousy, Poly, & Cheating/Two-Timing mechanics: You can arrange the terms of your relationship so you can be consensually poly but you can ALSO choose to be a POS who cheats on your S/O, because this is a horror movie dating sim. Enjoy!
  • Class Minigame:Hallway Run: Speed-based minigame where you escape from a murderer/monster down an infinite hallway, and try to find the doorway to the exit before he catches you. 16 possible randomized exits with 3+ monsters so far. Includes story-based events if Player is enrolled in certain Majors.
