We got some really helpful feedback on the game and realized that the flow wasn’t as clear as we thought, especially around the RTS section. So here’s a quick, clearer explanation of how the game works! 🧠❤️

You can also find this in-game under “How To Play”:

In CTRL+HEART, you don't pick dialogue options—you control your nervous system, and your body speaks for you!

Each turn (10 rounds total):

  1. RTS Phase (20s): Drag 4 emotions onto your 5 organs:
    • 🔵 Calm (stabilizes composure & heart rate)
    • 🔴 Anxiety (alertness, but risks meltdown)
    • 🟡 Confidence (bold & playful banter)
    • 💖 Attraction (deep romantic intimacy)
    • Organs: Brain (wit), Voice (speech), Heart (passion), Body (presence), Lungs (generates oxygen).
  2. Speech Phase (5s): Your organ balance decides what words you blurt out!
  3. Maya's Reaction (5s): Watch her animated reaction and gain Connection points.

⚠️ Don't let Composure hit 0 (instant panic attack meltdown)!
🎯 Goal: Reach Connection Tier 3 or 4 by Round 10 to win a second date!
