Harmony of Love : an Alicia Dating Sim

So I was wondering what you guys thought of a karma system in the game?

Basically, certain dialogue choices might give or take away Karma points.

You end up with Alicia whatever your score, but you can try for a higher score.


Most dialogue choices would likely have little affect on Karma, but every now and then you get an option to be a little more selfish, or selfless, and maybe based off of that I could reward Karma.

That might encroach upon the game though, as people might decide to make decisions off of Karma rather than off of what they actually want to chose.

Maybe it's something that can't be unlocked until after you beat the game once? That way it can just be there to encourage re-playability. Which might be fun, especially since the game will be fairly short.

Tell me what you guys think of this, and whether or not you think it would fit the game well.

Any suggestions are welcome. 😊

Took this neat screenshot in Control like a week ago and thought it'd be fun to share (I've put off sharing this for no particular reason. I think procrastination is my brand at this point lmao)

Harmony of Love is a short but sweet VN where go on dates with Alicia.

The game has multiple branching paths, and while the general plot stays the same, the entire second act can be different based off your choices!
