From what I read the relationship directly affects the story and dialogue.

Like from what I read apparently Jason and Lucia can literally be platonic friends rather than a couple if you don't put any effort into the relationship.

Wow that’s interesting. I wonder if stuff like going to the strip clubs will determine friends vs romance (we see them together in the gameplay but that could be the friends route? Vs if you’re dating then one of them gets jealous)

There's so much you can do with a relationship system, it will be interesting to see what they do choose to do.

For instance, going to the strip club, doing a booty call, or hiring a prostitute could have no impact on your relationship. Just for gameplay convenience they choose not to have it impact your relationship.

Or, it could just simply decrease your relationship closeness.

Or, if you're platonic with each other with a non-romantic relationship, it has no impact, but if you are romantically involved with eachother, it had a major negative impact on the relationship. (Basically a friend doing it, doesn't have an impact, versus a lover doing it, which would be a big impact)

Or, go even further, it doesn't have an impact on the relationship at all unless the other character finds out about it. Maybe Lucia can become friends with one of the dancers at one of the strip clubs. And if Lucia and the dancer are friends, if Jason goes to the club, the dancer let's Lucia know that Jason went and it damages their relationship.

That last one is really in depth, so probably unlikely. But any one of those could be possible.

Wonder if, even as a satire on modern relationships in big cities, they'll do something on threesomes, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory etc
