Details
In this menu, you are able to change various things about your character.
Biological Family/Adopted
- If the player character lives with his biological family, the appearance of Noah (skin colour, hair colour, eye colour), Gabe (skin colour) and Dad (skin colour, hair colour) will be closely tied to the player character's appearance.
- For those who are not comfortable with incest, you can choose to be adopted as a baby. This will randomise Dad's, Gabe's, and Noah's appearance.
- Regardless of choice, Gabe will always have black hair from his mother, and green eyes from his father.
Nighttime problems
- If the player character does not have nighttime problems, they can still wet the bed if you are not careful with managing your needs. The player will not start off with diapers or pull ups, but these can be bought in Boy Barn later.
- If the player character occasionally wets the bed, they will have a much lower threshold for wetting the bed, making it more likely to happen. Choosing this option also unlocks various dialogues in the intro and when drinking water in the kitchen before bed. The player can then choose what type of protection they prefer, whether it be diapers, or pull ups.
Glasses
- If the player character does not wear glasses, they will not start off with glasses. Glasses can still be bought at the optometrist after. Currently, wearing glasses or not is a purely cosmetic option.
