A simplified design example. Situations and numbers illustrate the mechanic, not exact rules from a reference game.

How it plays
An in-game calendar logs mood, spending, reminders and periods; on the day he reminds you by voice or message, with dedicated care lines during your period. It wraps a utility app in his voice, so the more you log, the better he seems to know you and the harder it is to leave.
What the player weighs
- Collect more life data for deeper care, or less sensitive data for lower privacy risk.
- Remind proactively to show care, or require opt-in to avoid intrusion.
02Start small
Scope is an editorial estimate for the minimum prototype, not the reference game or a production schedule.
03One mechanic, different implementations
Light and Night
A life log tracks periods, reminders, spending and mood on a calendar; filling in your moods earns a personal response from him.
Tears of Themis
Players can enter their birthday on their profile card (added in 1.6) and receive celebration content on the day.
The difference worth noticing
Light and Night turns the calendar into a real life tool; Tears of Themis records only your birthday and concentrates its care on that day.
Case notes are Yoroll editorial summaries; rules may change between versions.
04What could you combine?
When a player saves a real date, he sends a pre-filmed message that day, turning the anniversary into a promise.
