I've never actually played one of these types of games before, a dating game, and I wanted some advice.

So, bit of context, I'm a straight (more just attracted to afab but I just generally chalk it up to straight for ease) cis dude.  Now, I'm more than capable of playing other characters who have other attractions than me and other gender identities from me. Looking at Rosita, I see she's only lesbian, and it got me thinking.

I was wondering if I should make a female character so that I'm not locked out of any romance routes at all (since everyone else is bi or pan or otherwise), or if it would be recommended I just play as if the character is myself?

Edit: Really quick just adding. I'm excited to play this game, I'm just hoping to play it in a way that will give the best first experience!

Honestly play however you think you would get the best experience! Self-inserting is the design but people absolutely make OCs to go through routes with all the time. Plus even if she isn't romancable if you play as yourself, you can be her BFF! And you can have a more than happy relationship with someone as just friends!

So by all means play your preferred way ^_^

Alrighty 07

Think I'll go as a self-insert just see where I'd end up and who with. I did run through the whole orientation thing too by the way, and the characters all seem like amazing fun!

I did figure I could be her friend though at least, wouldn't be far from reality. I'm the token straight cis dude for a few friend groups of mine haha. And I guess in this case it leaves some room open for future runs to see everything!

Thanks for the advice by the way, I appreciate it!
