- Talking to family members will take up time.
- Sending a text reply will take up time (though not as much as chatting in-person).
- Be mindful of who you talk to and in what order! (Multiple playthroughs are recommended to experience the full story~)
Your mood is affected by dialogue choices and the kind of conversations you have. In the game, it is tracked with a string lights meter at the top center of the screen. Lights will turn on and off to hint at your current mood level.
- Certain things may appear at either high or low mood...
- The ending you get will also be determined by the mood you have at the end of the night.
