About the game

Tom is a 20-year-old guy who was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Cruz when he was just three months old. Not long after, Mrs. Cruz found out she was pregnant with Pauline, who grew up as Tom’s best friend and sister, even though they’re not related by blood.

Tom loves his adoptive family and is grateful for the life they gave him, but deep down, he still wants to know where he really came from and whether he has any biological siblings out there. While juggling college and a part-time job to avoid relying on his loving parents, Tom quietly begins his search for his real family.

Mrs. Cruz was hesitant to let him move out at first, but she knows he’s an adult now — and it’s time he lives his own life.

This game isn’t just about clicking through scenes — your choices actually matter. You’ll shape your story and relationships through different kinds of points you earn (or lose) depending on how you act.

👉 Relationship Points

These are the backbone of the game. Every choice you make with a girl (or multiple girls — your call!) affects how close you get to them overall. Think of this as your general “How’s it going?” score with someone.

👉 Lust Points

Spicy stuff. Lust Points track how much physical tension there is between you and a girl. High Lust Points unlock more daring and intimate scenes. Low Lust Points? Well, let’s just say you’ll be keeping it PG for a while.

👉 Friendship Points

Maybe you’re not all about romance right away. Friendship Points build trust, comfort, and good vibes. They’re great for laying the groundwork for something deeper later… or staying best buds.

👉 Encouragement Points

These show how supportive you are. Did you help her chase her dreams? Did you cheer her up when she was down? Encouragement Points make characters open up more and can lead to unique story paths.

👉 Neglect Points

Oops. These come up when you ignore someone, flake on plans, or just generally act like you don’t care. Rack up too many and people might distance themselves… or worse — a girl you neglected might end up in a bad situation you could’ve prevented if you were there for her. So, choose wisely!

👉 Love Points

These are special. Love Points only appear for the girl (or girls 👀) you’re really pursuing the hardest. They mean you’re not just friends, not just flirty — you’re in deep. How many girls you gather Love Points with? That’s totally up to you. One? Two? More? Play your cards right!

👉 Charisma

Your charm stat. Charisma helps you talk your way into (or out of) tricky situations, impress people, and even unlock hidden dialogue options.

👉 Humor

Crack a good joke and lighten the mood! High Humor can make conversations flow smoother, break tension, and earn you points with girls who love a good laugh.

👉 Intelligence

Brains matter too. Use Intelligence to solve problems, impress people with your knowledge, or just come off as someone worth listening to.

So yeah — your choices, your points, your story. There are plenty of girls to meet, friendships to build, and secrets to unlock. Play it your way… but remember: not caring enough can have consequences. Have fun!
