Lucy — Complete Walkthrough

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

Overview

Lucy is the 26-year-old owner of the Downtown Dance & Yoga Studio — professional, reserved, high standards, and married to her business. She built the studio from nothing through dedication and sheer work, and her romance arc is about cracking through that professional armor to find the lonely woman beneath. Abby's boss and mentor figure, Lucy plays a major role in Abby's questline as well as having her own.

Her arc has three plots (one quest chain shared with Abby, one community plot), several heart-to-heart actions, three dates, and a Sports-Car-gated late-game H2H that unlocks her repeatable intimate video.

Relationship Point Values (Per Action)

Action Base Points
Talk +0 (dialogue only)
Give Flowers +3 (low — appreciates the gesture, not flashy gifts)
Dance Lesson +4 + 1 Studio clout + +1 Ability stat
Leadership Balance (one-time) +15
H2H 1 ("Behind Studio") +3 to +4 per round (5 rounds)
H2H 2 ("Drive Her Home") +4 per choice (11 rounds)
Dance Studio Confrontation plot +15 (auto, shared with Abby)
Dance Victory Reward plot +20 (auto, after Abby dance minigame)
Practice Together plot +1 to +3 (community plot)

Bonus Math (Exact Calculation Order)

The relationship point formula runs in this order:

  1. Start with base points from the action
  2. +1 per favorite stat met (Ability 50, Creativity 45, Commerce 55 — up to +3)
  3. × 2 if the player has Acrobatics skill (her special/favorite skill)
  4. +1 if player owns the "1 Ring" key item
  5. +1 if Cologne buff is active
  6. +1 if Buffer Optimization level is active
  7. +1 chance roll based on Attractiveness (capped at 50%, or 60% with Ornate Locket)

Worked example: Dance Lesson (base 4), all 3 favorite stats met, Acrobatics learned: (4 + 3) × 2 = 14 points per lesson — plus possible +1s from Ring/Cologne/Buffer/Attractiveness.

Min-max tip: Lucy's favorite-stat thresholds are the highest in the present era (Ability 50, Creativity 45, Commerce 55). Hard to hit early. But Dance Lessons themselves grant +1 Ability per session — so you can grind your way to Ability 50 via Lucy while also building relationship.


The Plot Chain — Dance Studio Quest Line

Lucy's arc is shared with Abby. The dance studio quest plays out as a connected sequence.

Step 1 — "Dance Studio Confrontation"

  • Auto-triggers: Dance Studio, 12 PM – 5 PM
  • Requires: Dance Studio faction 10+ clout (built from Dance Lessons — each gives +1 clout)
  • Both Lucy and Abby at Stranger+
  • Walk in to find Lucy and Abby arguing about your progress; Lucy proposes a wager — beat Abby in a dance battle for a "victory reward"
  • Rewards: +15 Lucy, +15 Abby
  • After this, the "Challenge Abby" action becomes available

Step 2 — Challenge Abby (Dance Minigame)

  • Launches the Dance Timing Test rhythm minigame
  • Score 14,000+ to win
  • Time Potion (×2 multiplier) and Lute (wider timing windows) help
  • (See Abby's guide for full minigame strategy.)

Step 3 — "Dance Victory Reward"

  • Auto-triggers: Dance Studio, 12 PM – 5 PM, after both confrontation and minigame victory
  • Lucy proposes a private "victory reward" for you in the storage room
  • Three-choice response (Gracious / Respectful / Cautious)
  • Rewards: +20 Lucy, +21 Abby
  • After this, Abby's Private Reward Session action unlocks (her animated scene)

Step 4 — "Practice Together"

  • Auto-triggers: Dance Studio, 12 PM – 5 PM
  • Requires: Lucy at Friend stage+, Dance Studio faction 30+, H2H 1 (Behind the Studio) completed
  • Choice rewards: Girlfriend No (+3) / Girlfriend Yes (+1) / Girlfriend Multiple (+2)
  • A community plot exploring Lucy's status as your potential girlfriend

Heart-to-Heart Conversations

H2H 1 — "Behind the Studio"

  • Requires: Known stage + Dance Studio faction 25+
  • 4 rounds: Lucy on break out back → talks about her younger high standards → admits her bar is low now (kind, patient, well-mannered) but still hard to find → softens at the end, "surprisingly easy to talk to"
  • Theme: First crack in her professional armor. The lonely-business-owner reveal.
  • Gates the Practice Together plot

H2H 2 — "Drive Her Home"

  • Requires: Crush stage + Dance Studio faction 40+ + Sports Car key item + 4 PM – 5 PM
  • 11 rounds: Abby borrowed her car → she sees your sports car at golden hour → invites you up for wine → directly asks for sex (no games, "I'm tired of pretending I don't want this") → removes the cap (her "armor") → kiss → she takes the lead → player takes control → climax → satisfied aftermath
  • Theme: The intimate scene. All 11 rounds in one cinematic flow. Includes her closing offer: "Abby borrows my car pretty often. Maybe you could drive me home again sometime?"
  • One-time — completing it unlocks the separate Take Her Home video action once Lucy reaches 1200 relationship points

Current structure: Drive Her Home is the one-time narrative intimate scene. After it is complete, Take Her Home becomes a repeatable daily paid/higher-tier video action at 1200+ points.


The Dates

Zoo Date

  • Friend+ stage, $100, 120 min, −50 energy, 12 PM – 4 PM
  • Available at the Dance Studio
  • Paywalled — requires paid version
  • One-time

Fair Date (Paid)

  • Friend+ stage, $150, 120 min, −45 energy, 12 PM–3 PM
  • Available at the Dance Studio
  • One-time (fair_lucy_completed)

Boardwalk Sunset Date (Patreon)

  • Close Friend+ stage, $50, 60 min, −30 energy, 5 PM – 8 PM
  • Available at the Mall Clothing Store
  • Requires boardwalk built (community development project)
  • Patreon paywalled
  • One-time

The Sports Car Gate

Drive Her Home requires the Sports Car key item. Without it, the action is invisible. The Sports Car is acquired through the game's wealth/investment progression — it's not a casual purchase.

This is the hardest single-item gate on any present-era romance. It signals that Lucy's romance is late-game by design — she's not someone you romance in the first 10 hours.


Phase 1: Stranger → Acknowledged

  • Visit the Dance Studio 12 PM – 5 PM
  • Daily Talk (3/day, dialogue progression only)
  • Start grinding Dance Lessons ($200, 45 min, +1 Ability, +1 Studio clout)

Phase 2: Acknowledged → Known

  • Continue daily Dance Lessons — they double as Ability stat-grind toward 50 favorite-stat threshold
  • At Studio Clout 10, "Dance Studio Confrontation" auto-triggers (+15 Lucy, +15 Abby) — also unlocks Abby's quest line
  • Push Communication to 45 for the Leadership Balance one-time

Phase 3: Known → Acquaintance → Friend

  • Leadership Balance at Comm 45: +1 Perception permanent, +15 relationship — best one-time reward in the game
  • Switch to Flowers daily (Known+, paywalled, daily limit 1, +3 base)
  • Continue Dance Lessons (twice daily)
  • Run H2H 1 ("Behind the Studio") at Studio Clout 25

Phase 4: Friend → Close Friend

  • Zoo Date (one-time, $100, 12-4 PM, paid version)
  • "Practice Together" plot triggers at Studio Clout 30 + Friend + H2H 1 done
  • If you're a Patreon supporter and boardwalk built: Boardwalk Sunset Date (one-time)

Phase 5: Close Friend → Crush

  • Complete the Abby dance minigame for the +20 Lucy Dance Victory Reward plot
  • Continue Flowers + Dance Lessons + Talk
  • Push Studio Clout to 40 (gates Drive Her Home)
  • Acquire the Sports Car (wealth/investment progression)

Phase 6: Crush → Intimate (Drive Her Home)

  • Visit the Dance Studio at 4 PM – 5 PM with the Sports Car equipped
  • Run "Drive Her Home" H2H — 11-round intimate sequence
  • Her main intimate content — done

Phase 7: Endgame

  • At 1200+ points after Drive Her Home, use the repeatable Take Her Home video action once per day
  • Continue daily Dance Lesson (+1 Ability, +1 clout, +4 rel) — best daily action
  • Daily Flowers (paywalled)
  • All plots completed — her arc is complete

Relationship Stages & Dialogue Tone

Lucy's voice is professional, reserved, and dry until the H2Hs crack her open. Her arc is about her armor coming down piece by piece — first in conversation, then literally (the cap comes off in H2H 2 round 5).

Stage Tone Highlights
Stranger Professional, business-focused, polite-distant
Acknowledged Recognizes you, still all-business
Known Slight warmth, professional respect
Acquaintance Comfortable but maintains boundary
Friend "Surprisingly easy to talk to"
Close Friend Lonely woman beneath the businesswoman shows
Crush "I want you. I'm tired of pretending I don't"
Romantic / Intimate / In Love Drops the cap, drops the armor

Mall vs Studio Dialogue

Lucy uses separate dialogue groups when at the mall. The mall is her off-duty venue, so the conversation is more casual and personal than at the studio.


Relationships With Other Characters

  • Abby (her employee, mentee) — Abby idolizes Lucy and quotes her constantly. Lucy is the puppet master behind the Dance Studio Confrontation / Dance Victory Reward plot — she's the one who proposed the wager and the storage-room reward as a playful matchmaker.
  • Dance Studio (Faction) — Lucy IS the Dance Studio. Faction clout from Dance Lessons gates her H2Hs (25 for H2H 1, 40 for H2H 2) and the Practice Together plot (30).

Faction Clout Gates

Threshold Unlocks
10 Studio clout Dance Studio Confrontation auto-triggers
25 Studio clout Chat Behind Studio (H2H 1) becomes visible
30 Studio clout Practice Together plot triggers (with H2H 1 done)
40 Studio clout Drive Her Home (H2H 2) becomes visible

Tips & Optimal Play

  • Dance Lessons are the engine of Lucy's romance. $200 + 45 min for +1 Ability + +1 Studio clout + +4 rel. Run them twice daily (daily limit 2). Builds toward the Ability 50 favorite-stat threshold AND the Studio clout gates simultaneously.
  • Leadership Balance is the highest one-time reward in the game+15 rel + +1 Perception. Needs Comm 45 and Known stage. Don't miss it.
  • Acrobatics skill doubles all her points — keep it learned, especially given how grindy she is.
  • The Sports Car is the late-game gate. Drive Her Home is invisible without it. If you can't see the action despite all other requirements met, you don't have the car.
  • Most of her actions are paywalled (Flowers, Chat Behind Studio, Drive Her Home, Zoo Date). Boardwalk Date is Patreon. Free demo players have limited Lucy access.
  • Her favorite gift Flowers is +3 base (low compared to others). Volume comes from Dance Lesson grinding, not gift spam.
  • Talk gives 0 base points — pure dialogue progression. Use it to push stages, not to grind.
  • Don't miss the Mall location on even days 5-7 PM — it's the only place to do the Boardwalk Date.
  • The Drive Her Home H2H is one-time only, but it is the prerequisite for the repeatable Take Her Home video.
  • The cap is her armor. When she removes it in Round 5 of Drive Her Home, that's the narrative beat — the businesswoman becoming "just Lucy."

Content Status

  • Development Priority: Sufficient (High development tier)
  • Intimate Encounters: ✓ Drive Her Home H2H + repeatable Take Her Home video
  • Dating: ✓ Zoo + Fair + Boardwalk Sunset (Patreon)
  • Animations: ✓ Take Her Home video
  • Skill Teaching: None directly (Dance Lesson gives +1 Ability per session)
  • Cross-Character Integration: Abby (Dance Studio quest line)
  • Patreon Content: Boardwalk Sunset Date

Lucy is feature-complete as of the current build. She's a tight, focused late-game romance with a one-time H2H leading into a repeatable video action.
