SOUL Mechanic, further explained


The color of SOUL you pick at the beginning of the game won’t affect which routes are available. It will merely change some of the flavor text or responses you give to better suit that color. Content will not be locked because the wrong SOUL color was chosen. I just want the different SOUL colors to be somewhat indicative of how I feel the SOULs would act in day-to-day life, while still being inside a shy human. They won’t always come to play or change every line of dialogue for the run, but several lines of dialogue throughout the game may be added or taken out depending on which SOUL you have.

For example:

Determination will always have the end goal in mind and say what they’re thinking, giving a flirt or two along the way.

Bravery will constantly give a flirt off and be better/more confident in picking out and responding to others’ advances
Justice will do what’s right to get with the person they would like to be with

Kindness will always try and be courteous and accepting of the other person, smiling and putting the other person first whenever possible

Patience will think through what the other people are saying and realizing what they mean, while simultaneously planning out a better idea of what to say

Integrity will often go with their gut on decisions of love, sometimes even blurting out their thoughts before thinking them through.

Perseverance will be much like determination, but a more awkward tinge will strike their phrases and decisions.

I’m having a lot of fun thinking up the different responses for each of these SOULs and when to implement them, and I hope others will enjoy it just as much.
