You’re right — in 0.0.4 that section is labelled Commit, not Dating. I gave you the updated menu name by mistake, sorry.

I like the invitation idea too. Meeting someone at the bar, being spotted, and that information reaching their partner would make rivalry feel much more natural and understandable. I’ll look at building that into the social-event system.

You’re right, there was a balancing bug in 0.0.4. Casual and Open dating could still treat kissing someone else like a relationship breach, which is why Romance and Rivalry sometimes increased together.

I’ve fixed that for the next build. Casual/Open relationships no longer get automatic betrayal or rivalry from permitted kissing, while breaking Exclusive or Serious terms still has consequences.

You can also end any relationship through Phone → Contacts → Actions → Dating → Break Up, even if the partner is angry. I’ve made that easier to find too.

The date presentation is still quite light in 0.0.4. The date games are being upgraded now, with character-specific date artwork being handled as a separate content pass.

Thanks for reporting this. You haven’t misunderstood the system—v0.0.4 can stack Rivalry too quickly and does a poor job showing how to reduce it.

Apologize, Comfort and certain Boundaries or jealousy conversations can lower it, but the balance is off in this version. I’ve corrected this for v0.0.5 so repeated background events cannot keep piling it on, stable relationships gradually cool it down, and the relationship screen points you toward the correct repair action.

If you tell me which characters are affected, I can also check that exact pairing.

Yeah, I get what you mean. You can absolutely play in a way that avoids the NTR routes and outcomes, but I’m not planning a separate mode that completely removes every trace of those routes from the game.

If you stay on the loyal/other paths, Dex won’t suddenly be forced into NTR content. But the characters and possibilities still exist in the wider game world. If you need it completely scrubbed out as though it was never part of the game at all, I probably won’t be able to offer that.

Totally fair. There isn’t a blanket NTR/NTS toggle planned, but those outcomes aren’t unavoidable either — they depend on the route and choices you make.

If you steer away from those paths, you won’t be forced into them.
