Swyper

**Swyper** is the in-game dating app used by characters in Being A DIK. It becomes available in Episode 4 when Derek installs the app on Tremolo's phone. Like many other phone apps, it is only accessible during free roams.

## App Layout

### Main Menu

The main menu consists of four buttons:

* Swype - To find new matches.
* Chat - To talk with matches.
* Gallery - To view photos from matches.
* Quit - To leave the app.

If there are new matches, conversations, or photos the corresponding buttons will have an exclamation mark on the button.

### Swype

During some free roams, there will be a set of new matches available. For each match you will be shown their name, a self description, and a few photos. You will have two choices: **up** to accept or **down** to reject. If you accept, you will either get a **match** (heart icon) or a **no match** (broken heart icon). If you get a match, the character will now show in the **Chat** menu.

### Chat

During some free roams, your matches will have new conversations available. Clicking on their name will bring up a text chat window, with 1-3 options available to respond. Depending on the responses you choose the conversation may several ways:

* They may be flirty and send you a suggestive photo (available in app gallery).
* They may get annoyed and end the conversation, but still be available to chat later.
* They may get angry and unmatch or block.
* They may unmatch for other reasons.

### Gallery

The gallery lets you view the photos from the profile and conversations with your matches. When someone unmatches, their photos will be unavailable in later free roams.

## Matches

### Catrin

Catrin first matches during episode 4, with conversations in episodes 5 and 6 as well.

Catrin's profile and conversations show her abrasive personality and that she is mostly on **Swyper** because she is bored. Keeping the chat with her going requires managing her attitude and keeping her interested.

There are several conversation paths that will given rewards or prevent unmatching.

Example Conversation
 5
 6

### C

"C" matches during Episode 4.

Despite wearing a mask to obscure her face she is clearly someone familiar, though bringing this up too soon will lead to her unmatching. Texting with her gets sexual quickly, with her taking a dominant role. If the conversation goes well there may be an opportunity to meet in person.

Example Conversation

### Ellie

Ellie matches during Episodes 4 and 5.

She is a party girl, likes to drink, and is not shy about showing off. She is quick to bore and block but seems unbothered by dares.

Example Conversation
 5

### Nicole

Nicole matches during Episodes 4 and 5.

You recognize her from The Pink Rose, and if MC spent time with her in the freeroam she will match. She is still a bit hesitant about MC though, but showing that he can be more than a typical college guy can persuade her to give it a chance. Successfully flirting with her opens opportunities for another in person encounter in Episode 6.

Example Conversation
 5

### Ida

Ida matches during Episode 4 only.

All of Ida's pictures feature two women, one larger than the other. In chat MC will try to clarify which is one is Ida or ask for a photo of her alone; eventually finding that the slimmer woman is Ida's friend Micha. All conversation paths will lead to Ida unmatching, and no additional images can be unlocked.

### Nora

Nora matches during Episode 5, with the option to meet during Episode 6.

In conversation it is revealed that Derek set MC's profile's age range higher than expected. In chat she expresses skepticism over matching with someone of MC's age, though connecting over common interests will calm those doubts. If the conversation goes well, she will mention frequenting MacAllen's.

Example Conversation

### Arieth

Arieth matches during Episode 5 only.

In the conversation MC can try to tell her that she has crabs, while she doesn't get the hint this changes the dialogue during a later conversation with Sage. Alternatively, Arieth will ask for a dick-pic. Sending one does not have an impact outside of this conversation. No additional images can be unlocked.

### Paula

Paula matches during Episode 5 only.

Paula is vegan, follows new age spirituality, and practices nude yoga. If you go long enough in chat without offending her, you can get additional pictures of her doing so. All conversations will eventually lead to her being angered and unmatching.

Example Conversation

### Micha

Micha matches during Episode 6 only. If MC had previously matched with Ida, and subsequently been rejected by her, Micha will reject the match.

During the conversation it becomes clear that "Micha" is actually just Ida from before. All conversation paths lead to her unmatching, no additional images can be unlocked.

## Bugs

* If you ignore a match for a whole episode, when attempting to chat later you will still see their first message but be unable to reply.

## Trivia

* While you never speak to Micha on **Swyper**, you meet her in person as Rusty's date in Episode 7.
* The dick pics sent to Ellie and Arieth are the same.
