In your home’s aquatic environment, River exists as a fluid character among various Dateables. Struggling with self-perception, her ability to morph into different shapes creates ongoing conflicts about accepting her true form.
Her personal journey revolves around embracing her authentic self and realizing external validation isn’t necessary for self-worth.
Encountering River
Engage with flowing water sources in your home to summon River. This action becomes available right after finishing introductory tutorials, positioning her as an early-game character accessible from the start.
Developing Bonds with River
Her interactions reflect deep-seated anxieties about social perception, impacting dialogue choices. While maintaining relationships with other Dateables, romantic opportunities emerge situationally. Prioritize affirming her natural qualities over superficial adaptations.
She thrives on acceptance of her core identity but resists restrictive labels. The central conflict involves balancing genuine personality expression against performative personas crafted for approval.
Love Ending Requirements
Guide River through identity-challenging social encounters where she adopts false personas. Counteract these moments by consistently validating her true nature. Romantic interest should be expressed when she displays vulnerability about her self-image.
Highlight appreciation for her genuine qualities during pivotal moments. This support leads to mutual emotional honesty and romantic reciprocation after she achieves self-acceptance.
Friendship Path
Maintain supportive interactions similar to the romantic route but opt for platonic connection when presented with relationship choices. This requires reinforcing her confidence without pursuing deeper intimacy.
Hostile Outcome
Persistently mock River’s insecurities and treat her concerns as trivial. Maintain this derisive pattern until she develops animosity toward your character.
