Flirt up your life - About the game

Is there a fixed campaign?
In the course of the game, players will have to complete a number of different objectives one after the other. The first could be simply to fulfil the characters' needs, the second might be to engage Mike and Linda in conversation. Further objectives could be to improve their furnishings, the first kiss, and so on. By the way, money in Singles does not grow on trees any more than it does in real life, but has to be earned through honest toil!

So the game characters have different personalities – how does this influence gameplay?
The same as it does in real life. Take the opposites orderly/slovenly, for example. A slovenly game character will have a rather high "threshold of pain", which means he or she won't mind overflowing bins, dirty dishes on the kitchen table or grubby floors as much as an orderly person will. Slovenly characters still feel fine and comfortable when their partners are just about ready to freak out! Besides, slovenly characters never feel obliged to do the dishes – unless you drop them a subtle hint.

Freak out? So there are quarrels as well?
Hey, Mike and Linda are no saints! Of course there will be quarrels. For instance when their relationship has been neglected by the player. In this case, the game is again just like real life: A little thunderstorm now and then can be just what's needed to clear up the atmosphere.

There is a lot of talk about "erotic relationships". Will these be part of the game?
You bet they will – after all, the game is a real life simulation. This is why we will be showing eroticism - but no pornography. The characters will e.g. be seen naked. They will have showers and baths, and cuddle as well. And yes, they will have sex – either together, if you manage to make them fall in love with each other, or on their own.

Apart from Mike and Linda – which other features are part of the game?
For a start, there are hundreds of items of furniture which you can buy and place in the flat. Of course, all these objects have different functions in the game. They can be used to refurbish the rooms, and they will definitely cost Mike and Linda lots of money. The flat can be decorated as well: Walls can be painted, floors changed, new windows can be built in with no trouble at all. You can even add new walls – or how about a little landscape gardening? A swimming pool always looks good.
