ENG/ Feature : Contacts

Today we are here for the first presentation of a feature: the Contacts!

In Sunrise City, you will meet many characters (there are 21 in the prologue itself) and you will be able to tie bonds with them, whether to make allies of them or to live a hot romance!

Your relationship with another character evolves each time you complete a chapter of their personal story, in addition to bringing you various rewards (Talents, Skills, Skin...).

But beware, although some steps of a chapter can be done at any time, others can only be completed at certain key moments in the story and you should not miss them!

Don't worry, the Contacts menu is there to help you with that!

The Contacts menu

The menu will appear in episode 3 and thanks to your character's phone you will be able to access different menus with each new version. For the moment, let's focus on the Contacts menu, which can be accessed with the button on the far right.

Once in the Contacts menu, all the characters you have met, and for which you have information, appear as a list.

There are then 2 cases: the characters whose number you do not have and those whose number you have. For the first ones you can only access an information page to which we will come back right after. For the latter, in addition to the page you can contact them when their name is followed by a green circle (don't waste time, as we said at the beginning: some steps only take place at key moments).

For the moment it's only by message that you can contact the other characters because we have something cool planned for the calls but it will require effects and animations, so it's a lot of work!

The Information page

Each character has an information page where you can find various information that will be useful to you.

Among the information you can find there are:

• General information about the character,
• The current chapter of the character's story (the one on the screenshot is just an example), where you are at, what you need to do and the rewards you will get when you finish the chapter.
• The talent(s) you have unlocked with this character (we will come back to this later, just know that these are sometimes permanent bonuses, sometimes for certain specific situations).
• And finally a "Notes" category with different information (that we hide from you to avoid spoiling) that can be used as an indication to know how to act with the character.
  

Conclusion

In short, the Contacts menu will be your best ally to know where you stand in your relationships and make them evolve. Thanks to it, you will be able to discover the story of each of the characters in the game through its chapters and obtain many rewards to improve your character.

Episode 3 will be an opportunity to familiarize yourself with this new system, which we hope you will enjoy! Feel free to tell us what you think (as well as on the format of this post) in the comments or on Discord.
