Bella — Complete Walkthrough

Character RoutesSimplified Chinese availableV0.9.6.0
Guide noticeThis page contains gameplay and story spoilers and may describe mature systems.

Overview

Bella is a 25-year-old modest librarian at the Uptown Library who lives and breathes fantasy novels. Shy, introverted, and prone to overreacting with a surprisingly wide emotional range, she believes people have abandoned reading for screens — but she doesn't judge them for it, "her hobby is for herself."

Her romance with the player has a unique hook: she becomes fascinated when the player speaks about the Medieval era in vivid, authentic detail. She assumes it's creative roleplay. The player knows it's lived experience. The dramatic irony carries much of her arc.

H2H Conversations (3 Total)

1. Medieval Era Discussion (h2h_bella_medieval)

  • Requires: Acknowledged stage (lowest bar), 45 min, daily limit 1
  • 3 rounds — the conversation that establishes her fascination with the player's "creative" medieval knowledge

Round 1 — Bella lights up at your interest. Three +16 standard choices. Special (Intelligence 25+): "The philosophical works from monastery scriptoriums shaped entire civilizations" — +20, unlocks variant.

Round 2 — She's impressed by your detail. Choosing "Some knowledge just feels... familiar, I suppose" is worth +18 (the other two are +14). Leans into the dramatic irony she doesn't know she's hearing.

Round 3 — Single +20 choice closes the conversation. She feels like she's found someone who understands medieval magic.

2. Whispering Woods Adventure (h2h_bella_woods)

  • Requires: 160+ relationship points, 180 min, −30 energy
  • 6 rounds — the magical outdoor date that anchors her romantic escalation

Round 1 — Invitation. Special skill: Storytelling unlocks variant and +20.

Round 2 — Arrival wonder at the enchanted forest. All +14 standard.

Round 3 — Walking together. Special skill: Empathy — +20 ("I can see how much this means to you").

Round 4 — Luna Moth Discovery — Two special choices:

  • Collection Expert: Requires total_caterpillars_collected >= 500"That's a Luna Moth — they can't actually eat as adults, they live only to reproduce before dying"+25 and unlocks variant dialogue
  • Anthropology skill: +20, "In medieval folklore, moths were believed to carry messages between worlds"

Round 5 — Reflection. The variant (unlocked by Luna Moth path) has Bella respond with deep emotion about the caterpillar's tragic beauty. Special: "I've spent a lot of time observing nature's stories. Like the one we're writing together"+25, marks romantic progression.

Round 6 — Farewell. Single +15 choice.

Caterpillar collection tie-in: If the player has farmed 500+ caterpillars, the Luna Moth path unlocks an extended romantic beat. Worth pursuing the caterpillar breeding system before this H2H.

3. Ancient Manuscript (h2h_bella_book)

  • Requires: 300+ relationship points + Book item (consumed), 30 min
  • 6 rounds — the major romantic payoff H2H that ends in their first kiss

Round 1 — She's surprised at your after-hours visit. Special (Storytelling): +20 "I thought about how you light up when discussing literature."

Round 2 — She discusses the manuscripts she's organizing. Standard +14 across choices.

Round 3The manuscript reveal. Her hands tremble as she touches it. Special (Intelligence 30+): "It's from a monastery's scriptorium. The philosophical teachings inside shaped medieval thought for generations" → +20.

Round 4 — She carefully opens the manuscript with reverent hands. +14 across choices.

Round 5The kiss moment. Bella delivers her most emotional speech: "You've changed everything for me... sometimes the most extraordinary love stories aren't just in the pages we read - they're in the life we choose to write together." Single choice: "Kiss Bella" → +30.

Round 6 — The kiss happens, she melts into it "surrounded by the wisdom of centuries." Cinematic closer.

This H2H is the emotional peak of her visible content before intimate stages. Always complete this before pushing for Crush.


Zoo Date

  • Requirements: Friend stage+, $100, 120 min, −50 energy, 9 AM – 2 PM
  • One-time (hidden after zoo_bella_completed flag set)
  • Triggers zoo_bella plot (486-line scene)

Three-Choice System (Three Decision Points)

Point 1 — Where to start at the zoo:

  • Sweet: "Wherever you'd like" → She mentions big cats and legends
  • Funny: "Find the most ridiculous looking animal" → She's confused: "That's an unusual criteria"
  • Flirty: "Somewhere quiet, where we won't be disturbed" → Dismissed: "There are families everywhere. Let's just walk."

Point 2 — Response to her mythology tangent (Norse wolves, Fenrir):

  • Sweet: "I love hearing what you know" → Bella softens, "Most people's eyes glaze over when I start talking about mythology"
  • Funny: "Or you'll summon Fenrir?" → Genuinely impressed you know the reference
  • Flirty: "I'd listen to you read a dictionary" → "Oddly flattering. And strange."

Point 3 — Reflecting on the date at the garden bench:

  • Sweet: "This was special" → "More than I expected"
  • Funny: "Next time, literary penguins" → She doesn't know how to respond
  • Flirty: "I'd take you anywhere, just say the word" → "I might hold you to it" (romantic image progression 14 → 13)

Outcome

Bella walks back to the library with the player. No explicit points awarded in plot; zoo_bella_completed flag set. Date action hidden after.

Best routes: Sweet at Point 1, Funny at Point 2 (Fenrir impresses her), Flirty at Point 3 (unlocks romantic image progression).


Nighttime Library Conversation (40-Round Branching System)

Bella's apartment-equivalent visit. Requires Crush stage + bella_crush_flag, 7–11 PM any day, 180 min, −40 energy, daily limit 3.

The Four Initial Paths Converge at Round 6 (Kiss Anticipation)

All paths feed into the kiss sequence. Notable sub-branches:

Three kiss choices: +10, +5, +15. Kiss happens at Round 27, then Round 19 (Point Check).

Round 19 — Point Check

  • Below 600 points → Round 11 (Too Tired ending)
  • 600+ points → Round 10 (Intimate Continuation)

Rule: Accumulate 600+ points during this conversation to reach intimate content, otherwise the evening ends at the "tired" branch.

Round 10 — Intimate Continuation (Gateway to Paths)

  • Let Bella lead → Round 12 (Fellatio path)
  • Creativity 35+ "Take control" → +15, Round 39 (Bella Looking Up)
  • Sensual Mastery skill "Cunnilingus" → +30, Round 13 (Path G — Extended)

Round 9 — Anything Path (Reached via several premium routes)

Accessed through Path B (Emotional Bonding → Total Victory Int 50+ → +50) or via Round 35/36 (Intelligence 45+ / Book item paths). Also reachable from Round 8 (Seduction Continues).

Four activity branches:

  • Creativity 45+ — Continue: +15, +21 erotic → Round 16 (Extended) → Round 15

Round 17 — Cowgirl (Same Structure)

  • Finish: +10, +42 erotic → Round 15
  • Creativity 45+: +15, +21 erotic → Round 16 → Round 15

Round 18 — Doggie Style (Same Structure)

  • Finish: +10, +42 erotic → Round 15
  • Creativity 45+: +15, +21 erotic → Round 16 → Round 15

Round 15 — Standard Ending

  • Say goodnight: +10, cinematic ending, terminate
  • Beast 25+: +20, Round 37 (Beast Challenge) → Round 24 → Round 40 → Round 25 (Beast Finale)

Round 13 — Path G (Cunnilingus Extended Route)

Sensual Mastery-gated special scene → Round 32 (Face Closeup) → Round 33 (Making Love) → Round 34 (Final Moment, +42 erotic, cinematic)

Round 8 — Seduction Continues (Intimate Communication path)

  • Standard: +20 → Round 9 (Anything)
  • Erotic Experience 1200+ — Epic Sequence: +100 → Round 20 → 21 → 22 → 23 (Epic Finale, +125 erotic, cinematic)

Fellatio Endings (Round 12 → 30 or 31)

  • Finish in mouth: +10, +21 erotic → Round 30 (cinematic ending)
  • Finish on face: +10, +21 erotic → Round 31 (cinematic ending)

Beast Path (Round 37 → 24 → 40 → 25 → 28)

Requires Beast stat 25+. Escalates through three escalating scenes, culminating in +125 erotic and +1 Beast stat, ends at Round 28 (Beast Sleep cinematic).

Endpoint Summary — Best Rewards

Endpoint Requirement Erotic Other
Standard missionary/cowgirl/doggie None +42 Cinematic
Extended (Creativity 45+) Creativity 45 +42 + 21 = +63 Cinematic
Cunnilingus Extended (Path G) Sensual Mastery +42 Romantic cinematic
Fellatio completion None +21 Cinematic
Epic Sequence Erotic Exp 1200+ and Intimate Communication skill route +125 Cinematic
Beast Path Beast 25+ +125 +1 Beast stat, cinematic

Optimal routing for maximum rewards:

  • Epic Path: Path D entry → Round 5 → Round 8 (Intelligence 50+) → Round 20–23 epic sequence = +125 erotic, highest non-Beast payoff
  • Beast Path: Any standard ending → Round 15 → Beast 25+ prompt → Round 24 → 40 → 25 → 28 = +125 erotic + Beast stat gain

Image System

Bella uses a 30-image standard set plus extensive H2H image folders. Image ranges scale progressively with relationship stage:

Stage Standard Images
Stranger / Acknowledged 1, 2, 3, 8
Known / Acquaintance 1, 2, 3, 10, 11
Friend / Close Friend 10, 11, 16, 17
Crush / Romantic 29, 30, 19, 20
Intimate / In Love 29, 30, 31, 32

Universal: happy [10, 11], annoyed [24], surprised [13], romantic [29, 30]

H2H image folders: images/h2h/bella/medieval_*, woods_*, book_*, home_* (40+ home images for the nighttime conversation)

There's also a Debug Test All Images action (debug_image_test_enabled flag gated) that cycles through all 30 images — developer-only.


  1. Stranger → Acknowledged: Donate to Library (+1 × 6/day, $10 each). Simple farm.
  2. Acknowledged: Talk to Bella 3×/day (+2 each, ×2 with Storytelling = +4). Trigger Medieval Era H2H immediately — lowest-bar H2H in the game.
  3. Known: Continue Talking. Complete Books vs Technology one-time reward (Communication 24+ for +8 rel + 1 Perception).
  4. Acquaintance: Start giving Chocolate daily (+5).
  5. Friend: Unlock Flowers daily (+15 at this stage, +25 at Crush). Complete Zoo Date (one-time, flavor + flag).
  6. 160+ points: Whispering Woods H2H — major points + Luna Moth variant if caterpillar collection is 500+.
  7. 300+ points: Ancient Manuscript H2H (consumes Book item) — the kiss scene.
  8. Crush stage: bella_crush_flag set → unlocks after-hours nighttime visits.
  9. Nighttime visits daily: Push for 600+ points per session to reach intimate content. Build toward 1200+ erotic exp to unlock Epic Sequence.
  10. 700+ rel pts + even day 7–9 PM: Private Library Moment (paywalled video, +25).

Why Storytelling Matters

  • Her Special Skill — doubles all relationship points earned
  • Also gates Woods H2H special choice (+20) and the nighttime visit's best Book path
  • Learn Storytelling early (Creativity 18+) to multiply every interaction

Progression Flags

Flag Purpose
bella_close_friend_flag Reaching Close Friend stage
bella_crush_flag Reaching Crush stage — required for after-hours visits
bella_books_vs_tech_completed One-time +1 Perception claimed
zoo_bella_completed Zoo Date completed (hides action)
debug_image_test_enabled Developer-only image cycling test

Writing Voice Notes

Bella's dialogue is defined by:

  • Italicized action asides. "adjusting her glasses", "eyes lighting up", "gasps" — constant in her H2H dialogue. Physical reactions signal her emotional state more than words do.
  • Book references as her primary metaphor system. Everything relates back to fantasy novels, medieval literature, scriptoriums.
  • Overreacting to small things. Her emotional range is enormous — standard compliments get "you've changed everything for me" energy.
  • Self-aware about her quirks. "Sorry. I tend to relate everything back to books. It's a habit."
  • The dramatic irony never surfaces. She thinks the player's medieval knowledge is creative roleplay. The player knows it's real. Her dialogue repeatedly brushes up against the truth ("It's almost like you've actually studied in those scriptoriums yourself") but never lands on it.
  • Shyness that becomes confidence in private. Public Bella nearly whispers. Late-night library Bella uses skills she learned from novels with surprising directness.

When writing Bella: italicized physical reactions + book metaphors + overreaction to small romantic gestures + she never quite figures out the medieval thing.


Tips & Notes

  • Donate action disappears at Friend stage. Don't rely on it past Acquaintance — the max_stage cap cuts it off.
  • Book gifts are her favorite (+15 → +30). Stockpile books before hitting Crush.
  • Flowers scale dramatically — holding off until Crush triples the point payout (5 → 25).
  • Storytelling skill is essential — it doubles every interaction AND unlocks premium H2H choices.
  • Luna Moth path in Woods H2H requires 500+ caterpillars collected — grind the caterpillar breeding system before this H2H if you want the +25 variant.
  • Book item is consumed by Ancient Manuscript H2H — don't use your last one accidentally.
  • Private Library Moment requires even-numbered days — check the in-game day counter before planning to hit the 7-9 PM window.
  • Nighttime visits need Crush + flag. Reaching Crush stage but missing bella_crush_flag blocks visits — this should trigger automatically via the stage progression system.
  • The 600-point check during nighttime visits is critical — below 600 = Too Tired ending (5 pts, no intimate content). Routes through skill-gated choices (Emotional Bonding, Intelligence 45+, Book item, Intimate Communication) make hitting 600 trivial.
  • Epic Path (+125 erotic) requires 1200+ erotic experience — late-game gate.
  • Beast Path is available from any standard ending at Round 15 if Beast 25+ — easier than Epic and awards +1 Beast stat.
