Time

The Game has a time system, which is designed like followed:

4 Seasons:

  • Spring
    • available in Spring: Forrest, Waterpark, Swimming pool in Mansion, Park
  • Summer
    • available in Summer: Forrest, Waterpark, Swimming pool in Mansion, Park
    • only available in Summer: Beach
  • Fall
    • available in Fall: Forrest, Park
  • Winter
    • available in Winter: Spa Button in Home-Date
    • NOT available in Winter: Summer: Forrest, Waterpark, Swimming pool in Mansion, Park

Each season has 31 days (Dates):

Beginning with the 1st to the 31st.

The season + the day = Date, for the Start-Date, Birthdays, Valentines-Day, Independance-Day, Halloween, ...

Each day has 24 hours (Hours):

Starting at 00:00 and ending at 24:00.

Each action you do will cost you hours. You can see how many hours an action will take when hovering over the action-button. The hours progress the time.

Most actions are available in certain times and/or certain places.

Some places are also only available at certain times.

Advancing time

In most places you can forward time by 1 hour with

Stats

Main Stats:

You have the following stats:

Love-Interest Stats:

There are a number of romance options they can interact with. They have three primary stats:

  • Love Points () - How much she/he likes you
  • Kink Points (, ) - How submissive or dominant she/he is
  • Girl Points () - How much she is into girls

Orther Stats:

Certain other romance options have additional statistics as noted in their sections.

In Love and Sex, you take actions to do things or move around the game. Actions may cost you time and/or attributes. You can see what the action will cost you by hovering over the icon. Many actions have additional requirements, such as specific needs or attributes or characters in the room, or certain seasons.

You can play either as a male character (Mike) or female character (Bree). Note that Mike has significantly more content in the game at this time.

Needs

The MC has four main needs that has to be kept up in order to do perform activities. The starting maximum value for each need is 10, but some can be increased based on your attributes.

  • If any of your needs drop to 5 or lower, it will block a small amount of activities.
  • If any of your needs drop to 3 or lower, the need will turn yellow and most of your activities will be blocked.
  • If any of your needs drop to 0, it will turn red and almost every activity will be blocked, except for the most basic of actions (sleeping, eating and recovering whatever need is in red).

You have 4 needs:

Energy ( Max 15)

is refilled by

  • Sleeping in my bedroom (faster with the luxury bed bought at the Mall)
  • Taking a break in the Office (Free action), only available after a work-action +1 +1 ,
  • Chat with a random girl in Office +1 , once per day
  • Taking a nap on a bench in the Park +1 , once per day, forwards time +1 hour
  • Drinking a coffee from Kitchen (Free action) +2 , once per day (additionally to the other drinks!)

You can drink 1 energetic drink per day to boost your energy, but it also blocks all the rest of the beverages for the rest of the day!

  • Drinking an energy drink bought from Bakery (-25, consumable) +1 in both normal and difficult mode, once per day
  • Drinking a Coffee/Cappuccino/Moka/Tea(s) bought from Coffeeshop (25/50/100/150/200 , consumable) +1/+2/+3/+4 in both normal and difficult mode, once per day
  • Drinking a coffee from maid cafe (25, need 1 hour) +2 , once per day

If your Energy is less than 3 there are some activities that are only available then. That regards MikeMC and also BreeMC.

Hunger ( Max 10 (15 with foodie))

is filled by

  • Having a meal in the Kitchen, refills fully. + when you have cooking and characters are present, extends time by +1 hour!
  • Eating a HotDog at the Mall or the Office (costs each -5 ), refills +2 , doesn't cost time!
  • Eating a Hamburger at the Pub (costs -25 ), refills +7 , doesn't cost time!
  • Eating a pastry. Has to be bought at Bakery (per piece -25 ), consumable from the inventory, refills +1 , doesn't cost time!

Hygene ( Max 15)

can be refilled by

  • Taking a shower in one of the Bathroom(s), cleans +7.60
  • Taking a shower in the Gym (only after a workout), cleans +7.60
  • Eating a mint candy. Has to be bought at Bakery (per piece -25 ), consumable from the inventory, cleans +1

To use the second bathroom in the Mansion (on the first floor), you need to fix it first. This will cost you 5000 . It makes grooming much easier at the begining, because at lower level of love points your housemates will not allow you in the bathroom alongside with them. Which means, you can only access the bathroom when its not occupied!

Fun ( Max 15)

can be refilled by

  • Watching TV (Living room)
  • Playing video games (after buying or being gifted the Z-box)
  • Play a game (Arcade, 1 )
  • Take a break (Office)
  • Reading the fun book (bookstore, 25 )
  • Watching a movie (movie theater, 10 )
  • Masturbate (living room (requires under yellow fun), free action)
  • Peeking at your roommates (without getting caught)
  • Interacting with a Love-Interest
  • Sending texts to Love-Interest via your phone (can also increase love- and kink-points at the same time!)

If one of your needs is below 5 it will block a small amount of actions!

If your needs are in yellow (2 or below) they will block most of your actions!

If your needs are in red (0) they will block almost everything except the most basic of actions (sleeping, eating and solving whatever need is in red)

  • also increased by wearing certain clothes as long as you wear them.

Sexperience

Is a value how often you had sex. Everytime you have had sex the counter will go up by 1. The higher your sexperience gets the better your stamina/libido will be.

Stamina

The MC has a stat called stamina or libido. This stat gives your sexual energy. If it is full you can have sex with a LI, given she/he is consenting.

You can see your libido in your profile on your phone.

  • It is showen by a sign for MikeMC
  • It is showen by a sign for BreeMC

Refraction time

This resambles the the refractory period, meaning the time after having sex how long it takes to recover your sexual energy.

If you have no sexual energy this symbol is empty and starts filling with time. When it is full again you're good to go.

With low / no attributes your refraction time is 120 hours (5 days).

  • You can get a skill in introduction that reduces your refraction time to 90 hours (3 3/4 days): High libido
  • You can also get a skill in introduction that expands your refraction time to 240 hours (10 days): Low libido
  • Sexperience will reduce your refraction time. Enough sexpperience will negate low libido completly and you will not think about refraction at all!
  • You can also take a pill (blue pill for MikeMC, pink pill for BreeMC) to instantly recovery your stamina. Don't take to many of them at once, or you will die (also get "Sex overdose")!

Luck

You also have a luck attribute and it indicates your luck.

Luck is a number value, but it is showen by a clover in your phone.

This is my supposition on how it works:

  • Luck = 1 ... means you are lucky. Shown by a 4 shamrock clover.
  • Normal luck = 0 ... means you aren't lucky or unlucky. Shown by a 3 shamrock clover.
  • Unlucky = -1 ... means you are unlucky. Shown by a 2 shamrock clover.

It influences your chances with gambling at the lotterie AND finding Emma.

You can have a value larger than 1 for your luck. Luck is added onto itself.

You can increase your luck:

  • choosing lucky during the introduction (+1 do be lucky)
  • searching in the Park early in the morning (00:00- (daily activity)
    • getting a 4 shamrock clover from it (+1 for a day)
    • getting a 3 shamrock clover from it
  • Lavish is gifting you her "Lavish's lucky panties" (+1 to luck)

Inventory / Items

There are a lot of items in this game with many different purposes and effects. I you want to know more about them, go here!

You have a backpack button on nearly every screen. There you can find your items.

- They are filtered by 4 categories: Gifts, clothes, usable, items

- Here you can also change your clothes when you are in your bedroom. You have a cloth slot and and accessory slot.

- You also can get to your useables like books or coffee/teas, medicine, etc.

Locations

There are a lot of locations in this game, if you need to know your way around you can find all about that here.

Economy

There is an economy in this game, therefore you have to earn money to pay for the stuff you need.

Earnings

MikeMC and BreeMC have their own job earnings, you can find info about them on their own page above!

Following possibilities to earn money are there in the game for both:

Gamer and Gambling

You can also earn money when you have the gamer skill. When going to the Arcade in the Mall you randomly (not sure how high the %-chance is) are provided with the oportunity to compete in a video game competition. The fee is -25 , but you can earn up to 195

Secondly you can gamble in the lottery at the pub for -10 . You should have at least + 1 as an attribute (see phone/profile). With luck you can win wast amount of money there (highest I seen 10,000 )

Edit: You can exploit these incomes, but you shouldn't!

Costs

Of course if you have to earn money, you need to purchase or pay for things and therefore have costs.

Rent

Every Monday morning 100 (50 on easy, 200 on hard) will be required to pay the rent for the week. If you can't do this then you'll take a massive relationship hit with your roommates.

Services

There are some services you can "book" on your mobile under the "settings". Some of them cost you fee.

For 100 /week you can hire a cleaning service and not have to do chores. You can find it on your phone / Services.

In Alexis story you can hire a PI for ...

Chores (Cleaning)

Each week you're supposed to do certain chores as part of the household. There will be a bar that fills up to 100% while you are in the house. When you have filled this bar it will go away.

These are best left until Sunday as you don't have that much to do during that day.

If you don't do the minimum of 4 chores then you'll lose -10 with both roommates.

Doing unfinished chores even after your chore meter is maxed out will gain extra with your roommates.

Shops

You can purchase items at various shops. Some of them can be very expensive (ee. Sportscar)

There are four types of items you can buy:

  • Gifts: Gifts are items that are specifically to be given to the romance characters. They can be flowers, candies, books, clothing and certain sex shop items such as the slave collar.
  • Consumables: Consumables are items that you buy and use. They include items such as cakes, mint candies, medicine and condoms.
  • Clothing: Clothing are items that you can equip for some effect. You have two slots to equip: A main clothing and an accessory. Each item in the clothes shop describes what it affects.
  • Plot items: Other items exist for plot purposes, and cannot be used explicitly but may be needed to make some scenes available. Examples of this are the bicycle or car, which unlocks the beach. Note that plot items can also be clothing, such as the sport clothes and fancy clothes needed to unlock the gym and nightclub, respectively.

Getting Sick

You have a small chance of getting sick every day.

If you get sick, other characters will comment on it, but it otherwise has minimal effect on the game. If you buy medicine in the mall, using it will immediately remove the effect. Also Ginger tea will heal your illness and give you .
