Can you romance everyone at the same time?

Or is the game only going to let you choose one character for that in the end

Once you get to the point where you can "date" one person, it gives you the choice to either date them exclusively or to turn that person away as a romantic option.

There are lesbian options. If you mean you'll be upset if straight options even exist, then you're SOL, because those exist too.

That answers my question, thank you.

Honestly, in a game where you can romance literally all romanceable characters, then gender becomes meaningless since the NPCs are all attracted to YOU potentially. This would make all those characters "player-sexual" from our perspective. I actually prefer games where the NPCs have their own preferences for body types and their own genders.

I'm the opposite. There will be characters who I am really interested in and I'm the wrong gendered character which sucks because I don't enjoy playing certain character types. And the options I'm left with are characters I do not vibe with at all.

I kind a of understand this, but the only way to show this is to put in an NPC and say "THIS one is not for romance, to show they're not into whatever," but it's important to remember that different people will play the game with different preferences and desires. If you make an NPC that players identify and are attracted to (and that kind of open, pleasant attraction feels like a hallmark to this game) you're going to disappoint those people for the sake of going against "player-sexuality".

This is OK, but it should be done intentionally. Cyberpunk does this *really* well—as someone who would have loved to see my fem-V end up or Pannam and Kerry, the tension that rose from their rejections was interesting to see.

I don't see that playing as well in this. A good chunk of this is a visual novel style game about relationship, friendship, and romance, and a lot of people would be understandably let down if that facet is denied them for a specific character.

And, in a sense, this is what makes me happy about games like this, and about modern takes on fantasy and DND. They depict a (potentially) better world where social norms aren't as harsh. In such a world, all things being equal, you'd see a situation like this. The vast majority of LGBT people are attracted to both sexes/multiple genders to some degree, so it makes sense that the capability would be there.

Not to mention "player-sexual" applies more heavily to games in which you can change your gender. Is gender truly irrelevant in a game where you can't even customize your character? I feel like it's just to be assumed that the characters attracted to Sylvia have sexualities of their own, as it's not the same as having the romanceable character be attracted to the MC regardless of gender. That's also just my own opinion, y'all are completely valid in viewing it differently

[Pinocchia]

idk, not allowing player-sexual sounds not very political correct to me. why is lesbian or furry walrus more equal than harem? LOL

[Kazzi]

came to the discussions tab to ask this question, really really sad to see it's locked to one option. every character i've met so far is mega cute and having to turn down all but one just.. sucks :(

Same. It broke my heart to reject Roxanne, but I was already with Quinn
