The game casts players in the role of Stella, a socially awkward high school girl who moves to the small town of Ladle, where she encounters a community of cryptid characters. The core gameplay primarily involves making choices during conversations and events that determine Stella's relationships with three potential love interests - a velociraptor named Robert, a fairy named Day, and a sasquatch named Taylor.

❤ Conversation Choices

During dialogues with the different characters, players select from multiple dialogue options that allow them to shape Stella's personality and responses. These choices directly impact the player's relationship and standing with each love interest, as well as the overall narrative path. Players must carefully weigh each dialogue choice to steer the story towards their desired romantic outcome.
