How Zois feel about you

Dreami keeps your side of the relationship with each Zoi you play. It shows as three bars on your profile card: Friendship, Romance and Business, each from -100 to +100.

Your starting point#

The first time you open HEARTDM with a Zoi, Dreami asks how you know them:

• Just met: they treat you as a stranger.
• Acquaintances, Friends, Close friends: how close you already are.
• On bad terms: something went wrong between you.
• Together: a couple (adults only).
• Custom...: set the three bars yourself and write how you know each other in your own words.

Closing the sheet without choosing is fine. It asks again next time, and your first text settles it as "just met".

What changes it#

• Texts that really matter (sweet, flirty, hurtful, a fight, an apology) nudge the bars a little, up to 6 per kind per game day. Closeness is slow on purpose.
• Romance only moves for adults.
• Being blocked costs Friendship.

How you treat them#

Zois notice how they are treated, without reading your words: repeating yourself, a pile of texts with no answer, leaving them hanging for hours, days of silence, hanging up on them and ignoring their calls. Each fades again over a few game days.

• It comes up once, in their own way: hurt, needy, cool, annoyed or not bothered, by who they are and what you are to each other.
• Only sometimes does it cost anything: between two Zois in DREAMDM, a point of Friendship now and then, never more than one a day. It never blocks you by itself.
• Nothing counts against a Zoi who was asleep, at work or busy, or against a Zoi of your own household you weren't playing at the time.

Blocking and making up#

A Zoi can block you when a conversation really upsets them, like threats, pressure or cruelty. Friends joking around don't set it off. Your texts then show "Not Delivered", and they don't text you first.

• How long it lasts depends on why, how often it has happened before and who they are.
• Texting them while blocked makes it longer, and asking to be unblocked does nothing.
• A friend of theirs can put in a good word. Ask the friend in a text: if they agree, they go and talk to them.
• When the time is up, the Zoi decides for themselves.

You can block a Zoi too, in DREAMDM. See Texting other Zois.

Editing it later#

Turn on Settings > Memory > Edit feelings and relationships. Your profile card then lets you move each bar and rewrite your story.
