Taking a character out on a date serves two purposes: It may be necessary for the character's story progression, and it gives the MC a chance to have sex with them.

This page explains the game's dating mechanic in some more detail. Note that some story events will also appear as "dates" but do not follow this mechanic, while others will trigger within a regular date.

Date appointments

To ask a character out on a date, you can either talk to them in person or call them through the phone, provided you have their number and they pick the call. As a general rule, they will accept the date if their >= 25. For some characters, you need to progress their story to a certain point for them to become dateable.

If the character is up for it, you can choose when you want the date to happen. You can make the appointment up to one week into the future. For dates on Saturday or Sunday, you can choose whether the date is for the afternoon (14:00) or the evening (20:00). This has consequences for the date location, as explained below. Afternoon dates can be extended into the evening if they are successful. Dates on weekdays always happen in the evening at 20:00. If you want to ask for a date on the same day, you will have to do it at least one hour before the date is supposed to start.

Characters with >= 50 will sometimes ask you on a date. In that case, they will propose a time for you to accept. If you decline, they will lose a small amount of .

Once you have made the appointment, it will show up in the calendar on your phone. A character can only have one date appointment at a time. The appointment can be canceled the same way that you made it, by talking to the character or through the phone. Note, however, that you can only call every character once per day. Cancelling a date makes the character lose -3 (which is still better than not going).

When the hour to go on the date comes, an action icon to take the person on the date will appear. If you are in the same spot with the character, they will also suggest to go on the date, but you can decline if you are not ready. Be warned, some events will cause you to miss the date time. You can still go on the date at a later hour than agreed, but the character will lose some and it will be harder to have a successful date (see below). If you miss the date, you can still call and cancel the date as long as you do it before the date was scheduled to end. If you miss the date without canceling on time, the character will lose -20 for being stood up. If you "double booked" two characters for the same time, you will get to chose which appointment to keep and which to miss.

Date locations

Depending on the hour of the date, you can chose between different locations for the date. Each location has different activities to do and will cost a different amount of money. The characters also have different preferences which locations they like for a date. Some story events require you to take the character on a date at a specific location.

Date score

On a date, you'll have a bar at the top of the screen, called Date Score (). A full bar means a successful date. Every action that increases will fill the bar and every action that decreases will deplete it, so take care what you do or say. A positive action can still increase if the character is already at maximum .

You can influence the date score through the following factors:

  • Punctuality: If you show up late, you will lose points
  • Location: All characters have different preferences which locations they like or dislike (see the infobox on the character page). Your starting score will be +/- 25 , respectively. Your partner will also remember where you took them on the last date, and if you take them there again you will lose an additional -10 .
  • Activities: Every date location has specific activities (as listed above). All characters have certain preferences. Some activities are also an opportunity to gain or lose .
  • Interactions: You also have the regular character interaction menu available during the date. It is advisable to not use up actions that can only be performed once per day (like complimenting or gifting) before the date starts.

Some story events require a certain threshold to be reached.

After-date scene

After a successful date, your partner may suggest to have some 'hot coffee' at your place which triggers the after-date sex scene. The conditions are different for Mike MC and Bree MC:

Mike MC

For Mike MC, the following conditions must be met for the after-date scene:

  • >= 100 (minus 5 for every drink your partner had at the pub or the nightclub during the date)
  • >= 50 (not necessary if your partner had at least 3 drinks at the pub or the nightclub)
  • Mike MC has stamina (see below)

For some girls, you need to progress their story to a certain point before they will have sex. Ayesha will have sex at >= 20.

Below a certain threshold, a girl will insist that Mike uses a condom. If he tries to do it raw and the girl is just under the threshold, Mike will comply. Otherwise the girl will get very angry.

Further information on birth control and the pregnancy mechanic can be found here.

Sexperience

Every time that Mike MC has sex with a girl, he gains sexperience points. The current level can be checked in the phone under personal information. It is also possible to increase sexperience through a skill book.

Sexperience is needed to unlock more options during the after-date scene, such as additional positions, foreplay, or anal sex. For some girls, you also need a certain level, or a specific item. The options for each girl are described on her character page. Mike also needs a certain sexperience to be able to pull out in time if he is having sex without a condom.

Mike's sexperience is a global stat, so it will increase with every girl. Besides this, the game also keeps track of the individual sex count for each girl which you can see on the character card.

Stamina

Since version 22.2.0, the game implements a stamina mechanic for Mike MC. If his stamina has not recovered since the last time he had sex, he will be exhausted and decline the girl's request for 'hot coffee'. When Mike MC's stamina has recovered, an eggplant symbol () is visible in the personal information on his phone.

Stamina is calculated in hours since the last time Mike MC had sex. The base recovery time is 120 hours (= 5 days). Choosing 'erectile problems' during the introductory questions increases the base recovery time to 240 hours, the 'high libido' trait reduces it to 90 hours.

The recovery time is also reduced by Mike MC's level of and his sexperience. (one removes one hour from the recovery time, two sexperience also remove one hour from the recovery time)

Using the blue pill from the drug store restores stamina immediately. However, every time Mike MC takes a blue pill, an exponentially increasing (!) value is added to his recovery time.

Bree MC

For Bree MC, at least one of the following conditions must be met:

  • >= 100 (minus 5 for every drink your partner had at the pub or the nightclub during the date)
  • >= 75
  • had sex with the character already

Additionally, Bree MC's morality stat must be below a certain threshold:

  • <= -25 for the first date
  • <= 0 for the second date
  • <= 25 for the third date
  • <= 50 for the fourth date
  • <= 75 for the sixth date
