- CHARACTER AFFINITY

Your relationships with characters change depending on how you treat them. Certain dialogue options and actions will gain or lose hearts with a character. Their affinity can change their dialogue, behavior, what they’re willing to tell you, and how they react to you later. losing too many hearts with certain characters can lead to a premature ending, or get you killed.

- MC CUSTOMIZATION

Your MC is fully customizable, and your appearance isn't purely for fun.
Characters may notice or comment on aspects of your appearance throughout the game. Certain clothing and accessories can also become useful during exploration or specific situations.

- INVENTORY

YES. YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE THE STUFF IN YOUR INVENTORY.
Dude Items aren't just collectibles. Open your inventory and experiment with them whenever the game allows it.

- AWARENESS

Awareness represents how much you’re beginning to notice that something is wrong. Higher awareness can affect narration, dialogue, environmental details, available choices, and what MC is capable of recognizing. Seeing something doesn't necessarily mean you can  understand it yet.

- ANXIETY

As you become more anxious, your perception and behavior can change. This may affect what you see, how scenes are described, which choices are available, and how reliable MC's interpretation of events is.

- PILLS

Taking, or refusing medication can alter your experience. Your decisions surrounding pills can affect your perception, certain scenes, information you have access to, and potentially who you encounter.

- SPENDING TIME WITH CHARACTERS

Investigating isn't your only priority, choosing to spend time with someone can raise affinity and unlock conversations, information, or scenes that an investigation focused playthrough miss. So, you have to balance maintaining relationships or figuring out the world around you.

That’s all, I might add onto this later, if I decide to add more mechanics. Have fun with the game!
