FAQ

**Welcome!** Here we will collect all the Frequently Asked Questions about the game Romance Club. If your question isn't listed, please comment below and we'll answer your question and add it to the list.

**Note:** we strive to keep the FAQ spoiler-free so details on the gender of a love interest or the precise identity of minor characters that can be romanced might be omitted.

## **Is Romance Club free to play?**

**Yes**. The game is free to download and play. Premium scenes/outfits require in-game currency (💎diamonds) in order to be played or worn, and each episode requires a "cup of tea" to be played. By default, you get three cups of tea maximum, which **regenerate every three hours**, starting after one cup is used. The in-game currency is very easy to obtain, so it is easy to enjoy this game without spending real money. Both in-game currency and "cup of teas" can be also purchased with real money if so you wish.

## **How often does the game update?**

This game updates roughly **every seven weeks**. The developers usually announce the release date every month or so. For more precise info about when the next update is due and to pass the time with fun activities and discussions in between updates, come and join us on the Reddit fan community!

## **How do I get diamonds?**

Some choices in this game are premium choices and cost in-game currency, which is represented by 💎blue diamonds.

* **You can earn diamonds by logging into the game every day:** the longer you log in for, the more diamonds you get, up to a maximum of 💎10 diamonds a day. If you fail to login within 24 hours from your last login, the counter is reset to zero.
	+ Until day 5: 💎1 diamond per day.
	+ From day 6 to day 14: 💎2 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 15 to day 25: 💎3 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 26 to day 49: 💎4 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 50 to day 100: 💎5 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 101 to day 200: 💎6 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 201 to day 400: 💎7 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 401 to day 700: 💎8 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 701 to day 1000: 💎9 diamonds per day.
	+ From day 1001 onwards: 💎10 diamonds per day.
	+ **Note:** you can also occasionally get some cups of tea or diamonds as extra gift, either with your daily login or separately, but this seems to be happening randomly and not on fixed days.

* **Watching adverts:** You can earn 💎3 diamonds per advert, watching adverts that are available every 29 minutes and 30 seconds. Adverts are also available after every episode you read for the first time.

* **Reading episodes:** Reading the first episode of a new book will reward you with 💎30 diamonds. (There is no advert after the first episode.) Every new episode you read after that will give you 💎10 diamonds (plus extra 💎3 if you watch the advert after each episode) and reading the very last episode in a book will reward you with 💎100 diamonds (plus extra 💎3 if you watch the advert after the episode). **Re-reading episodes you have previously read does not award you any diamonds.**

* **Completing achievements:** As of January 2024, you can also earn diamonds by completing certain plot paths that will unlock an achievement. Beware: plot spoilers by clicking the link, but you can find an achievement list with all details here.

* **If you are a brand new player** and already have in-game currency in any other interactive fiction app, check out this offer from the RC developers where they will double your currency.

* **Purchasing them with real money:** Several options are available. Packages from 💎60 diamonds up to 💎1500 diamonds are available for purchase in your local currency.

It is easier to earn in-game currency in this game compared to many competitors, and the range of free/cheap options is also really good, so **you definitely don't need to spend real money to enjoy this game**.

## **I don’t get adverts any more to watch for diamonds. What do I do?**

* **IOS user**: go to (Setting - Privacy - Advertising - Reset Advertising Identifier)

* **Andoid user**: go to (Google setting - Ads - Reset advertising ID)

**If this still does not work**, email RC customer support at: support@yourstoryinteractive.com

When contacting support, make sure to **include your User ID** with your query. To find your UID click on the cog on the top bar of the app, then on Tools: your UID is the long string with letters and numbers at the top of the box.

## **Why I can't see a certain story in my game?**

This Wiki covers what's available if you play in English. If you are playing in any other language, some stories might not have been translated yet, and hence might not be available. You can switch your language to English from the Settings button and you will see all stories.

## **How do the special events work, how often do they happen, what about diamond choices I unlock during an event?**

The diamond rush / tea party / shopping events or any other special event don't have a set schedule. They are random and the developers are the only ones who know when they will happen and how long for. We usually get the announcement in the app the day before they start. Once the announcement is in the app, there is a timer on the event cover that will tell you how many hours are left before the event starts, or, once the event has started, how many hours are left until the event ends.

All premium choices you unlock during any of the free diamonds/free play events **remain unlocked** even after the event has ended, forever and in all future replays.

## **How do I add favorites and how do I change the genres I originally selected?**

The new user interface, launched in July 2023, allows you to add books to a favorite tab. Please note that the tab will only become visible once you have selected at least one book to be your favorite. To do so, click on the cover and then click on the heart in the top left corner. To remove a book from your favorites, click the heart again.

When you start playing the game, you are asked to pick the genres you are interested in. This will populate the *For You* tab, as well as the carousel at the top, with suggestions about books you might like. You can click on the crossed arrows button on the carousel to refresh your suggestions and have different books appear. If you want to change the genres you selected initially, click on the *For You* tab, and click on the icon with a cog and a bookmark, on the right of your screen. That button will bring you back to the page where you can select your preferred genres again.

## **What is My Profile?**

My Profile is Romance Club’s social feature. It shows your level, reading stats, wardrobe achievements, and other information that describes you as a player. Your **level** is calculated using a formula based on the number of episodes and stories you have played. The **achievements** relate to the wardrobe in each story. They depend on how many players have the same (or more) number of outfits - the lower the %, the more special the achievement. Each achievement is automatically updated when new episodes are completed. If all available episodes are completed, you need to select the story cover from the main menu and click on the wardrobe icon.

Your profile is visible to other players unless you disable the "Social mode" in the game settings. You can see and heart random player’s profiles if they are filled out completely, and return to your own profile by selecting the star icon. A compilation of all available avatar images can be found on Reddit or in the gallery of each story's main book page here in the wiki.

Find a detailed guide to My Profile here.

## **How do I save cutscenes (CGs) for My Profile?**

When you encounter a CG, a square icon with a heart and a + sign appears in the bottom right of the screen. Tap on the icon, name the file, and it will be automatically saved on your profile. Once you go to your profile, scroll down to the *favorite cutscenes* section and click the icon showing an eye with a pencil on the side. It will show you all the CGs you saved. You can pick 6 to show on your profile as favorites.

Right now, not all cutscenes are immediately available - please see RC's Facebook post for a timeline.

## **Can I personalize my MC? (Main Character - you the player)**

**Yes**. You can customize your MC's skin tone, hairstyle and wardrobe. Although not in all, in most books you can choose your character's first name. Generally you cannot choose your character's last name, but Queen in 30 Days and Love from Outer Space allow you to do so. In some of the most recent books you can also customise your character's body shape choosing between slender, athletic or curvy options.

## **Can I play as male/female?**

**Yes**. At the moment of writing this game has a **female main character** by default in all books apart from one - Gladiator Chronicles - the first book to have a **male main character.**

## **Can I date both female and male Love Interests?**​

**Yes**. In each book, you have the opportunity to establish a romantic relationship with either male or female characters, although generally speaking, the male characters seem to have longer scenes and more space in old books, while new books have expanded on the female LI content.

## **Which characters can I romance in each story?**

Please keep in mind that this list might not be exhaustive as we might have not played all the possible routes and that we will update it as more episodes are published and we find out new info. The books below are listed in order of release. The characters that we know are romanceable so far are: [⚠️ **Please note that clicking on the names that have links will bring you to the individual characters pages where plot spoilers are revealed**]

* In **Sails in the Fog**:There are nine love interests that can be romanced until the last episode: Sebastian, Will, Chris, Jackie, Diego, Jorge, Kai, Lorenza and Clive. The first three have more screen-time compared to the others, some of which appear in later seasons. You can also have an ending with Manta and the Mermaid, although their route is not a conventional romance route, as they are both spirits, hence their presence in the story is limited. Two other spirits, Samedi and Brigitte, can also offer a romantic one-off scene.
* In **Moonborn**: Victor and Max are the main love interests, but you can have a full romance route also with Simon, Benny Bart and Frances. Romantic one-off scenes can also be had with Trisha and Dante.

## **Do my choices really impact the story?**

**Yes**. In this game, choices really impact the plot in a significant way, and the plot branches are many and vastly different from each other, including multiple endings. Each book has various choices that put you on different "paths". These paths influence the story, and in some books also the outfits you will have available, the characters you will interact with and the scenes you play. For example: in one book if you choose the path of adventure, your character will steal a car, but if you choose the path of drama, your character will cry and convince the car's driver to give her a lift.

## **Can I restart a single season?**

**Yes**. If you want to replay a book, you have the option to restart from the beginning of each season. Please note, however, that **you cannot play two different seasons of the same book at the same time**. If you are on season 3 and decide to restart season 1, your progress for the whole book will be reset back to season 1 and you won't be able to change your mind and replay season 3 until you play your way back to it.

**Note about Bonus Episodes:** this is now a **discontinued feature** and they no longer appear in the game. If you see Bonus Episodes referenced anywhere, they were extra episodes at the end of a book's season that to be unlocked needed you to either wait 24h or pay a certain amount of diamonds (100 at first, then down to 10 in most recent times). This is not to be confused with Special Episodes, which are a different thing.

## **If I restart a book, will my premium choices be saved?**

**Yes**. If you restart a book from the beginning, all the Premium (diamond) choices you have previously unlocked will be saved. **However**, if you decide to change the path you were on - for example, you played on the diplomatic path and decide to now replay on the fortitude path - all the outfits/scenes that belong to a path you are no longer on will not be available to you, including the ones you might have purchased, and you will have the choice to purchase new ones that correspond to the path you are on. Not all books have different outfits for different paths but all books have different premium options based on different choices the player makes.

Also **please note**: each outfit/accessory/hairstyle you unlocked will only be available in the story from the moment it is offered, so if you restart the book from episode 1, you can't wear a dress you obtained in episode 5, even if this dress appears in the general MC wardrobe that is accessible from the front page of the book.

## **What are special episodes?**

Special episodes are extra short stories set in the same universe as the main book they are connected to. Since they are usually set after the main book ended, you can't play them unless you have already finished reading the full book. We don't know which books will get special episodes, as the developers just announce them on a case-by-case basis.

## **Why is the special episode locked for me?**

The special episodes released so far have been set up so that only people who already completed the main book are able to play them.
