Overview

Nyx is the local band's dark, dry-humored lead guitarist at the Present Downtown Music Studio. Her route combines Band clout, room conversations, two Heart-to-Hearts, a one-time Rockband Date, shared band scenes and a repeatable private evening.

Quick Stats

Attribute Value
Age / era / alignment 24 / Present / Evil
Room portrait Noon–5 PM and 9–11 PM, every day
Studio portrait 5–9 PM, every day
Favorite stats Rogue 80; Mystic 85; Ability 80
Special relationship skill Ritual Mastery
Daily Talk Acknowledged; room; 20 minutes; 1 base point; five per day
First meeting Music Studio; Band clout 20
Profile gift preferences Wine favored; Teddy disliked
Favorite stats improve the shared relationship calculation, and learned Ritual Mastery doubles the adjusted base. Equipment, buffs, alignment and the random roll affect final affection. Nyx's live portrait menus have no ordinary Wine or Teddy gift action and no Ritual Mastery lesson; her profile preferences do not add those interactions.

Access and Band Clout

Visit the Present Downtown Music Studio. Choose To Nyx's Room to reach her room inside the studio; the travel takes zero minutes. The room starts visible and unlocked, without an affection gate. Use her room portrait noon–5 PM or 9–11 PM, and her studio portrait 5–9 PM.
Raise Band clout to 20 and enter the studio for The Guitarist's Warning, a one-time automatic introduction worth 10 base Nyx affection. This automatic encounter has no additional Nyx affection or clock requirement; it can trigger independently of her studio portrait's hours.
Use scored Practice Drums at the studio to build clout. The action is offered noon–11 PM, costs 25 minutes, $30 and 20 Energy, and bases its rewards on accuracy and difficulty. Aim for 80% or better in scored mode. Practice mode does not award clout. Supporter Chill mode awards one clout at 80%+, and One Button mode halves earned clout, rounded up.
At Band clout 30, after her introduction, Studio Session becomes available from her studio portrait. It has no additional affection-stage gate and is a useful early source of Nyx affection.

Daily Talk

At Acknowledged, use Talk to Nyx in her room. Each conversation takes 20 minutes and gives one base affection, up to five per game day. The two room windows share the same counter: five daytime conversations use that day's allowance for the evening too.
Five successful conversations take 100 minutes and give five base points. Further attempts can lose affection. The studio portrait supplies Studio Session and the Rockband Date rather than a second ordinary Talk menu.

Personal Route in Order

  1. At Band clout 20, enter the Music Studio for The Guitarist's Warning.
  2. Reach Known and enter Nyx's Room for Something to Say. This scene has no extra clock window.
  3. At Friend, after Something to Say, enter her room, 9–11 PM, for Feedback Loop.
  4. Separately, reach Band clout 25 and Friend with Cotton, Talena and Nyx, then enter the studio for Long and Loud.
  5. With Long and Loud completed and Nyx at Friend, choose Rockband Date from her studio portrait, 6–9 PM.
  6. Reach Close Friend; after both Feedback Loop and the Rockband Date, enter her room, 9–11 PM, for No Encore.
  7. At Crush, after No Encore, Bedroom Confession becomes available in her room, 9–11 PM.
  8. At Romantic, after No Encore, Intimate Evening is available in that same room window. It does not require Bedroom Confession's completion.
  9. With Nyx at Romantic, Cotton at Close Friend, and No Encore completed, the shared Cotton and Nyx scene can trigger in Nyx's Room, 9–11 PM.
Studio Session is an additional one-time conversation. Its completion is not a prerequisite for Something to Say, the date, No Encore or the private evening. The Rockband Date's shared band requirement is important: raising Nyx alone does not complete Long and Loud.

Automatic Personal and Shared Scenes

All scenes in this table are one-time. Automatic location encounters use their own registered clock requirements; a scene with no extra hour gate does not require the portrait to be present.
Automatic scene Location Requirements Base reward
The Guitarist's Warning Music Studio Band reputation 20+ 10
Something to Say Nyx's Room Nyx: Known+ 8
Long and Loud Music Studio Cotton: Friend+; Talena: Friend+; Nyx: Friend+; Band reputation 25+ 6
Feedback Loop Nyx's Room Nyx: Friend+; Something to Say completed; 9 PM–11 PM 10
No Encore Nyx's Room Nyx: Close Friend+; Feedback Loop completed; Rockband Date with Nyx completed; 9 PM–11 PM 12
Cotton and Nyx Nyx's Room Nyx: Romantic+; Cotton: Close Friend+; No Encore completed; 9 PM–11 PM 8


Scene Best Nyx total
The Guitarist's Warning 10 base affection; no configured choice bonus
Something to Say 8 base affection; no configured choice bonus
Feedback Loop 20: fixed 10 + two bonuses of 5
No Encore 22: fixed 12 + two bonuses of 5
Long and Loud 10: fixed 6 + verse 2 + bridge 2
Cotton and Nyx 12 Nyx and 10 Cotton with Flirty; 11 each with Sincere; 10 Nyx and 12 Cotton with Funny
Long and Loud gives six fixed base points each to Cotton, Talena and Nyx and unlocks its song for background/jukebox rotation. Nyx's best verse answers favor Neighbors or Heat; her best bridge answer favors Candles. The exact answers appear below. It has no separate Nyx Heart-to-Heart requirement.

Best Scene and Date Answers

Scene Choice Highest Nyx-bonus answer(s) Nyx base bonus
Feedback Loop 1 It sounds like you are holding back from the part that hurts. / The best part is when it stops hiding and sounds like you. 5
Feedback Loop 2 It sounds more honest. Not cleaner, better. / If that is what you sound like exposed, I want more. 5
No Encore 1 You did not lose your edge. You gave it somewhere to belong. / You are still dangerous. You just let me stand closer now. 5
No Encore 2 Caring did not make you less Nyx. It made you louder. / I care about you too. I am not trying to be subtle about it. 5
Cotton and Nyx 1 If this ruins your brand, I like the new one better. 4
Long and Loud 1 Have the neighbors complain before the chorus even lands. / Make the amps sound guilty and the night sound dangerous. 2
Long and Loud 2 Contrast it with quiet romance, then reject quiet. 2
Rockband Date with Nyx 1 I want to hear what changed you that much. / Then I am glad I get to hear them next to you. 5
Rockband Date with Nyx 2 That sounds like how you play. / I like watching you hear something you love. 5
Rockband Date with Nyx 3 I am glad you did not quit. / Then I am honored you brought me here. 5


The bonuses add to the scene's fixed reward. These automatic scenes and the Rockband Date have no separately configured player erotic-experience or NPC intimacy-experience award.

Studio Session and Bedroom Confession

Conversation Start location / time Requirements Cost Best ordinary base total
Studio Session Studio portrait, 5–9 PM Introduction completed; Band clout 30; no extra affection gate 45 minutes; 15 Energy 47
Bedroom Confession Room portrait, 9–11 PM Crush; No Encore completed 60 minutes; 20 Energy 56
Each conversation is one-time and has five rounds, with no special stat or skill answers. With the learned Romantic skill, the shared system adds 25 final affection after calculating the accumulated base reward. Neither conversation has a separately configured player erotic-experience or NPC intimacy-experience award; a narrative kiss does not automatically imply an experience reward.

Studio Session

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 I wasn't looking for them. I came to see you. 6
2 Wouldn't dream of making it weird. Goth code. 8
3 Whoever it's about should feel lucky. 9
4 Coming from you, that's basically a love letter. 10
5 I'm here. Read into it however you want. 14


Bedroom Confession

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 Then I will be annoyingly happy about it for both of us. 9
2 You can have it. As much as you want. 10
3 Then come here and make the thought worse. 11
4 Kiss me, Nyx. 12
5 Then kiss me again before I get obvious. 14


Heart-to-heart choice points accumulate and use the shared relationship calculation at completion. The listed points are base values, not guaranteed final affection gains.

Rockband Date

At Friend, after Long and Loud, use Rockband Date from Nyx's studio portrait between 6 and 9 PM. It takes 120 minutes, $80 and 40 Energy, and plays Rockband Date with Nyx.
This is a one-time date. Its highest result is 25 base affection: fixed 10 plus three answer bonuses of five. Sincere and Flirty tie at every choice; Funny gives four each. Follow the exact answer table above. The action has no additional paid-version requirement and does not itself complete Feedback Loop or No Encore.

Intimate Evening

Reach Romantic, complete No Encore, and choose Intimate Evening from Nyx's room portrait between 9 and 11 PM. It takes 120 minutes and 50 Energy, without a separate money, consumable or paid-version gate.
The action declares one per day, but its current custom handler does not check or record that daily limit. It remains repeatable subject to the start window, time and Energy costs. Bedroom Confession is not a prerequisite.
Her private conversation has 14 authored rounds with branching routes. The action awards no extra upfront affection; choices accumulate base points. With the learned Romantic skill, completion adds 25 final affection after the shared base calculation.

Best ordinary opening

Round Best ordinary answer Base points
1 Very goth of you to invent an appointment and judge me for it. 12
2 I want you, Nyx. Even the inconvenient parts. 18
3 I like your bad decisions. Especially this one. 18
4 Stay with the kiss until she pulls you closer. 10


This opening gives 58 base points before choosing a branch at Round 5. With Intimate Communication, use its Round 2 special answer for another seven, bringing the opening to 65.

Branches and rewards

The totals below use the best ordinary opening and finish with the 15-point Round 14 ending. Each includes the whole opening and ending, not just the branch.
Branch Round 5 choice / requirement Base affection Player erotic experience
Lead route “Let me make you forget the clever exit line.” 138 100
Nyx takes control “Take control, then. I want to see your plan.” 103 50
Control with extra stamina Same branch; Stamina 50+ special at Round 11 113 75
Oral route “Show me the version you usually keep hidden.” 108 25
Oral with Pleasure Arts Same branch; Pleasure Arts special at Round 6 118 25
Trust route Round 5 special requiring Rogue 80+ or Seduction 133 100
Add seven base points to any table total when using the Round 2 Intimate Communication answer. The optional Mystic 80 opening jumps straight to Round 3, skipping Round 2. Although its individual answer gives 18, its whole opening is 12 points lower than the best ordinary opening, or 19 lower than the Intimate Communication opening. The highest per-choice number is therefore not always the highest route total.
The lead branch uses Rounds 8–10; control uses Round 11; oral uses Rounds 6–7; trust uses Rounds 12–13. At Round 7, one oral answer continues to the ending and the other returns to the Round 5 branch menu. Returning lets the conversation continue through another branch; the table describes a single branch followed by the ending.
No separate NPC intimacy-experience metadata is configured for this private conversation. The player erotic-experience values shown above are explicitly authored in the choices.

Optional private choices

Round Requirement Special answer Base points Effect
1 Mystic 80+ No candles, no curse circle? I feel dangerously underprepared. 18 Skips Round 2; lower total than the best ordinary opening
2 Intimate Communication Tell me what you want first. I want to hear you choose it. 25 +7 versus the best ordinary Round 2 answer
5 Rogue 80+ No performance. No armor. Just us and the dark. 0 Opens the trust route
5 Seduction I want the dangerous version, if you trust me with her. 0 Opens the trust route
6 Pleasure Arts Let me guide you without breaking the spell. 30 +10 points; same 25 player erotic XP
11 Stamina 50+ Keep up until she has to stop pretending she is calm. 40 +10 points; 75 instead of 50 player erotic XP


These are optional branches and improvements. None of the listed skills is needed for the ordinary lead, control or oral route. Ritual Mastery, the relationship multiplier skill, is distinct from Intimate Communication, Pleasure Arts and Seduction.

Current Route Boundaries and Troubleshooting

Nyx's current content includes her introduction, three additional personal automatic scenes, two Heart-to-Hearts, one Rockband Date, the shared band and Cotton scenes, and her private branching evening. There is no separate ordinary gift menu, worker recruitment, resort-worker, Kupie date route or Nyx pregnancy protocol configured.
  • No ordinary Talk: reach Acknowledged and use her room, not the studio, during her room portrait hours.
  • Introduction missing: raise Band clout to 20 and enter the Music Studio.
  • Studio Session missing: finish the introduction, reach Band clout 30, and use her studio portrait, 5–9 PM.
  • Rockband Date missing: reach Friend with all three band members and clout 25 for Long and Loud, complete that shared scene, then use Nyx's studio portrait, 6–9 PM. The date is one-time.
  • No Encore missing: complete Feedback Loop and Rockband Date, reach Close Friend, and enter Nyx's Room, 9–11 PM.
  • Bedroom Confession missing: reach Crush and complete No Encore. Studio Session is not required.
  • Private evening missing: reach Romantic, complete No Encore, and start from her room portrait, 9–11 PM.
  • Wine gift missing: Wine is a profile preference; the current menus have no Wine-giving action.
  • Cotton and Nyx missing: Nyx must be Romantic, Cotton Close Friend, No Encore complete, and the location Nyx's Room, 9–11 PM.
