Mr. Wonderful: Text Dating Sim

You got called up. Now your phone will not stop.

In this texting dating game, you are a rookie on a pro basketball team. Five women want your attention, a tabloid account wants a story, and your coach wants your head in the game. A season lasts twelve chapters. Every one of them ends with a decision you cannot take back.

This is a texting game. You do not walk anywhere. You read, and you pick what to say, and the people on the other end remember it.

WHO IS IN YOUR PHONE

Nova, the beat reporter on your own team, who can bury a story or run it.
Priya, the team physio, who sees you at your worst and is not impressed by any of it.
Jade, a pop star with four million followers, who posts things.
Camille, a sports lawyer and your agent's daughter, who protects you brilliantly and may be using you.
Ruby, the one from home who never left, and who has a real claim on you.

Plus Deke, your best friend and the worst advice in the league. Coach Ballard, who benches you when your life gets loud. Marv, your agent. THE FEED, the tabloid account that delivers every consequence. And the locker room group chat, where nothing stays private.

CHASING EVERYBODY LOSES

Every woman you keep warm costs every other one trust at the end of the chapter. Carrying one is free. Carrying two is survivable. Carrying five is not, and nobody in the script will lecture you about it, because the numbers do it instead.

Let the drama build and THE FEED runs the story, and everyone still talking to you reads it in the same ten minutes.

WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY MANAGING

CLOUT, how famous you are. It opens doors and invites vultures.
FOCUS, your game. It drops when your life is loud, and Ballard sits you.
HEAT, the story about you that has not broken yet.

The choice that grows your name usually costs your game. The choice that protects your game usually costs somebody's feelings. That is the whole season.

TWELVE ENDINGS

A good one and a bad one for each of the five, plus the season where you finish it alone, plus the one where everything comes out at once. None of them is bought. Every ending is reachable without spending anything.

FREE, WITH ADS

Watch a video to read a reply before you send it, to skip a chapter wait, or to bank a little Charm. Nothing is required. No purchase exists. Every route through the story is open to a player who never watches a single ad.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE

English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, all three written as prose rather than run through a machine.

NO TYPING

You never type a word. Every reply is one you pick, which is why nothing in this game can be used to say something to somebody else.
