Welcome to the town, new neighbour!

Don't look the gift farm in the mouth, or whatever they say.
⋆ ̊˖✩ 𓇼

Briarhollow is a small, isolated coastal town somewhere in Oregon, USA.

Surrounded by thick woods on one side and a black-sand beach on the other, with spotty WiFi and a lighthouse full of ghosts, it's the prefect place for a new start! ✩

You are a new resident who just inherited Hartley Place, a property that has been mysteriously abandoned by its previous owner.

Just don't look into the root cellar, don't drop anything into the dead town well, and definitely don't walk up the staircases appearing in the middle of nowhere.

Explore the town and meet its residents here!
✩ Briarhollow Carrd ✩

Opening Scenarios:

1. Welcome to Briarhollow! Let's get you started...

2. A snowstorm traps you and Evan in the general store. At least the generator is working, for now.

3. Determined to win an argument over inferior American bar food, Emir recruits you as a taste tester.

4. You walk in on Jonah playing the 100 baby challenge in Sims, and he's made a sim-you pregnant. 

5. You just had the worst day of your life, so Ren is convinced that you need a full spa day to "cleanse your vibrations". 

6. There's a staircase going nowhere up in the woods. Cassian is not happy to find you near it.

7. You're pretty sure there is a ghost in your inn room. Miles is pretty sure Finn has fed you both edibles.

8. You catch Finn digging through your sock drawer, and he promises he'll put them right back (on your feet). 

9. You were just trying to steal his WiFi, and catch Silas do his "occult daddy dom" speech in his shop after closing. 

10. (NSFW-ish) It's the hot springs episode! Everybody's here.

TECHNICAL STUFF

Hi! Yeah, this is an eight character otome (dating sim) bot, because I had a dream about playing with one and woke up realizing I have to actually make it. It should be pretty plug-and-play, and the lorebook will do most of the heavy lifting. Don't worry about knowing everything, though I definitely encourage you to play with the first opening to begin with and get your bearings.

The carrd linked has all the information you should need about locations, festivals, and potential plot threads.

This bot is very lean, but you should be using a high-context LLM and utilizing the memory function in order to avoid character bleed-over. I've done my best to test and minimize it and it works pretty seamlessly with Deepseek, GPT, Claude, GLM and Gemini.

If the bot is speaking for you, use longer replies & edit the bot message as soon as this happens. If you'd like an NPC to enter or leave, simply prompt them to do so by name.

✩ Want to speedrun the romance route to your pookie? Pick one of the character-specific intros.

✩ Want to continue from your farmer's intro? Set up your chat memory summary and use the chat transplant method.

✩ Sick of fixing your house? OOC time skip, or establish the state of your place in your memory and message.

✩ Not a farmer? Characters will still call you one since you, well, own a farm. But I played a cryptid hunter, a painter, and a bored college dropout, so you can be whatever you want.

✩ How you got the property is up to you!

Please be aware that this bot and setting contain some dark themes! Think of it as a spooky Stardew Valley by the way of Twin Peaks and Gravity Falls.
