Okay. I always try to micromanage too much. XD Thank goodness someone else has a more level head.

A cheat code! How funny; I really like that. How about two kinds of cheat codes--one that advances the player straight to the sex scene, or triggers an "alternate" sex scene (maybe one that the cast member would not normally play? something the player could define as being "outside the characters' normal comfort zone" but not something that they find offensive/squicky to play) and one that highlights all the correct flag answers? ... How about a cheat code that lets you get all the wrong answers and maxes out the skulls but still lets you have the sex scene? xD for the lulz and hate sex opportunities.

...omfg I love you. THESE IDEAS. THESE IDEAS.

So MOSTLY FOR MY OWN REFERENCE
-normal cheat
-"alternate" sex scene (ie, romantic for stoic characters, etc)
-hate sex cheat

♥ Always happy to help.

Could also have a cheat code glitch that takes characters out of one scene and into another for fish out of water fourth wall wtf-ery. Bonus points if the rest of the "game" keeps functioning normally.

ex: cheat code brings a vampire over into suburbia, replacing the youngest sibling, and everybody keeps referring to him/her as the youngest sib. Or the background/settings for future world are put on wild west world and only the two characters are aware of it.
