Let's discuss the dating system in Bloodcrave, a critical aspect that determines your relationship with the six main love interests. Each character will have affection towards Alex, influenced by his actions and how he treats them. You can increase affection by giving them gifts or going on dates. However, it decreases when you act in a way they don't like. It's worth noting that each romanceable character has a unique personality, meaning some may enjoy it when Alex acts boldly, while others prefer when he's not too pushy.
Dates are an excellent way to increase affection points with your romantic interest. After your relationship reaches a certain level, you can invite the person you like on a date. The date might even end with an intimate scene. However, some characters prefer to take things slower than others, and it may take a few dates before they decide to take things to the next level. But players who prefer more adventurous characters can easily find characters who are more open to intimacy early on.
Another feature of the dating system is texting and selfies. Players can chat with other characters using their in-game phone. While chatting, players have more control over the conversation as they pick a reply to each line from a set of premade lines, allowing them to shape the conversation the way they like. If you play your cards right, you might even receive a spicy selfie.
However, be careful not to cause jealousy among your love interests. While you are free to date all six of them, they will become jealous if they suspect you are flirting with others. It's easy to hide relationships with people who don't know each other, but it gets tricky when trying to date two friends. In such cases, your partners may demand that you pick one of them. Nonetheless, you might find that corrupted characters are more open-minded, so maybe the harem ending is possible after all. Still, tread carefully, as playing with someone's emotions might result in a sharp response.
