    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

    How does the game's personality profiling system, or 'IRL', influence the dialogue choices and relationship developments?
    The 'IRL' system tracks your character's personality across five traits: Quirky, Steady, Spicy, Sweet, and Classic. Dialogue choices are often tagged with these traits, impacting not just immediate reactions but also long-term relationship compatibility and story outcomes.
    Can you explain how the relationship system, including 'Friendship' and 'Romance' levels, functions within the game?
    You build relationships with various characters through dialogue choices and shared experiences. 'Friendship' and 'Romance' levels are tracked separately. Achieving a certain level in either can unlock unique events, side stories, and ultimately, different endings.
    How does the 'relationship chart' affect the gameplay, and what kind of information does it provide?
    The relationship chart is a visual representation of your connections with each character. It displays the current level of your relationship with each character and highlights which characters are connected to each other, which can be helpful for planning dates or understanding where your relationship is headed.
    How important are the choices during 'Flavor Text' sequences, and how do they impact the overall story?
    The choices made during 'Flavor Text' sequences, which describe events and happenings in the arcade, can impact the story. While some choices may seem minor, they can influence character reactions, event occurrences, and even your 'IRL' personality stats.
    How does the game's dating sim aspect incorporate unique gaming references?
    The game is filled with references to classic arcade games. These references appear not only in the setting, but also in the game's writing, character interactions, and plotlines, providing a layer of depth for fans of the genre.
    How does the game handle branching narratives, and are choices always consequential?
    Arcade Spirits features a branching narrative where choices matter. While not every choice drastically alters the plot, many decisions have lasting impacts on relationships, character arcs, and the overall story path, leading to multiple endings.
    Can you elaborate on the significance of the arcade setting and how it interacts with gameplay?
    The arcade setting isn't just a backdrop; it's integral to the gameplay. The games, their cabinets, and the culture of the arcade directly influence the characters, the storylines, and the social dynamics you navigate. It can also inspire new gameplay events.
    How do the different 'IRL' personalities interact with each other in the game's dialogue and events?
    Your character's 'IRL' traits impact how others perceive you and how you respond in interactions. Certain personality combinations can unlock unique dialogue options or lead to more favorable or unfavorable outcomes with specific characters.
    What role does the 'Game Over' mechanic play in Arcade Spirits, and is it a common occurrence?
    Unlike some games, 'Game Over' isn't a typical occurrence. Arcade Spirits focuses on narrative exploration. However, some choices may lead to 'bad endings' or undesirable outcomes, but the focus is on the unfolding story and relationships.
