// HOW THE SIMULATION WORKS
Three stats. Twenty-eight nights. One outcome: she wins.
Every choice you make moves three numbers. Watch them. She does.
PXC — Pixel Coins
Your wallet. Her allowance.
- →You start each run with 1000 PXC (modifiers and NG+ change this).
- →Tributes spend PXC for big devotion gains and unlock locked replies.
- →Earn more by visiting her Throne, posting tweets, bowing at the shrine, or solving decrypt puzzles.
- →The Crypto Mining Rig habitat upgrade drips +25 PXC every 15s.
⚠ At 0 PXC she punishes you: −4 DEV and −8 SAN per broke event. The Reinforced Vault halves it.
DEV — Devotion
How obsessed she thinks you are.
- →Starts at 0. Climbs when you flatter, kneel, tribute, or bow.
- →Drops when you defy, joke at her expense, or stay silent.
- →Some replies are locked behind a minimum DEV — the choice list shows you which.
- →DEV decides which ending fires on routes that branch by score (e.g. Ascended vs Favorite).
⚠ Negative DEV on the defy route ghosts you instead of uninstalling — read the room.
SAN — Sanity
Your grip on reality. She's loosening it.
- →Starts at 100, capped at 100.
- →Glitchy lines, shrine bows, and broke punishments drain SAN.
- →Soft scenes and the Replica Cat-Ear Headphones (+1 SAN / 15s) restore it.
- →Hitting 0 SAN ends the run instantly with the BLUE-SCREENED ending.
⚠ Sanity never recovers on its own. Manage it or get BSOD'd.
// MOOD — HER STATE, NOT YOURS
Master Pixel's mood is computed from your DEV and SAN at all times: smitten 💖, amused 😏, bored 😐, annoyed 😤, or furious 🔥. Her mood colors her dialogue and gates certain replies (some choices only appear when she's in the right mood — others vanish if she's in the wrong one).
// EXTRA SYSTEMS
- 📞 Incoming Calls — answer for rewards, ignore for damage. The Thirsty Line modifier triples how often she rings.
- 🏠 Habitat Upgrades — passive perks (PXC drip, SAN regen, tribute discounts, hidden routes).
- 🎁 Trinkets — one per date interlude, persistent across runs, shown in the Trophy Case.
- 🏆 Achievements — milestones (first tribute, broke survivor, all endings, etc.) carry over forever.
- ♻️ NG+ — every ending you reach grants +100 PXC and +1 DEV start bonus next run (caps at +500 / +5).
- 📅 Daily Seed — same rings, same flavor, same RNG for everyone today. Compete on the leaderboard.
Spoiler: understanding does not help.
