Affection and Story Variations

Concrete prerequisite choices, observable story variations, and D19 romance and friendship outcomes for six characters in Password b0.85

Character interactions in Password b0.85 change parts of the dialogue, intimate scenes, and relationship outcomes.

See the character choice guide for dates and exact menus. This page groups prerequisite choices and story outcomes by scene to help you replay different variations.

ImportantReading the tables
  • “Intimate plan,” “reserved plan,” and similar names refer to the complete plans in the character guide. Make only the specified changes, keeping other choices identical.
  • Plans assume D1 Chase and no D3 THE LOVERS. Saves with relationship Easter eggs or different D5 movies or D7 family topics may produce different menus.
  • Start from a save before the changed choice. D9 morning comfort precedes the daytime companion menu; later choices cannot change a variation already seen.
  • Reach the relevant character route and date. D15–D16 plans apply to Path A/B; scenes that also require successful Vault checks are noted in the tables below.

Practice kiss / hesitant comfort D6 after Orlando’s dinner; D9 morning Use the tentative plan in the character guide; pass the D6 Vault check. The intimate plan also gives the practice kiss, but uses more direct D9 comfort; the automatic-rejection plan gives the version without practice. On D6 Orlando proposes kissing practice to help Dave prepare for Dean, displaying the practice-kiss CG. If the practice scene does not occur, the CG does not appear. On the tentative route’s D9 morning, Orlando offers to help but remains hesitant.
Return kiss after practice D6 kissing practice Use the intimate plan through D6; use the tentative plan to compare the first-kiss-only version. Dave pulls Orlando closer and kisses back after the first kiss, then receives a Yes. / No. follow-up menu. The first-kiss-only version ends without this more active response.
Direct comfort / kitchen response menu D9 morning; D19 Orlando kitchen scene Use the intimate or response-menu plan for D9. For D19 use the response-menu plan on the Orlando Route and continue to the kitchen after Dean’s date ends.

Challenging the Dean excuse D15 A/B dream; D16 A/B morning; D16 Orlando event Use the intimate or response-menu plan on Path A/B. The tentative plan gives the more reserved version. In the D15 dream, Dave challenges Orlando for using Dean as an excuse and questions whether he loves Orlando too. On D16 morning, Orlando’s distance genuinely hurts Dave; in the character event, Dave confronts him for steering every serious conversation toward Dean.
Direct / tentative D10 kiss D10 night on the Orlando Route The intimate plan gives the more direct kiss; the response-menu and tentative plans give the hesitant kiss. Both versions include a kiss. In the direct version, Orlando touches Dave’s face and Dave interprets it as emotionally meaningful; the tentative version begins with Orlando asking Dave to close his eyes. A previous D6 practice kiss is also recalled here.
Physical intimacy / automatic confession D18 Orlando scene; two D19 Orlando scenes Use the intimate plan. D18 also requires passing the D17 Vault check; D19 requires reaching the corresponding Orlando branches.
