## Gameplay

As a visual novel, the main core mechanics of *BH* focus on choice-making by the player, which can lead to different outcomes.

### Evilness

Depending on the choices made by player, Jacky will perform more deviant and wicked acts. In some particular instances, picking an "evil up" action will lock potential friendly/less depraved interactions. This system does not apply to Sal.

### The Brides of Jacky

aka The BJ's.

In a Charles Manson fashion, Jacky can add women to his "cult of followers". This choice however, doesn't go beyond Candy and Paige.

## Non-Canon Events

The following is a list of events or situations that while the player is given the choice to let them play out, they are not canonical or consequential with future story-lines.

* **Jacky's suicide:** The player has the choice of ending their suffering after the truth has been revealed to them. This leads to an early game over, and cannot occur since Jacky remains alive during future plot-lines in the *BH* universe.
* **Stacy's death:** If the player chooses to dump Hannah early on the story, they will get a scene of Stacy getting shot and dying instead of Hannah. However, this is explained as a mere illusion created by the drugs Jacky was being fed by Grace. Hannah dies not matter what while Stacy gets to live on for future installments.
* **Maria's death**: The player is given the choice to let Paige kill off Maria, however this event will be eventually reconnected in Aftermath. So the canonical choices are only those that have her spared.
* **Chan's death:** The player is given the choice to kill Chan, however this event will be eventually reconnected in Aftermath. So the canonical choices are only those that have her spared.

## Cut or non-finished content

### Grace ending

At a late point in the story, Grace appears in front of Jacky after her own death. The player is given the choice to avenge her or let her go full knowing she's not there. Choosing the former leads to what would be *Grace ending*, however only a error screen will trigger.
