The "adult" mechanics in WINTER are distinctively different from the summer version. Because NPCs rarely leave their homes, the player must invite characters inside to share heat. This leads to the game’s central thematic mechanic: Shared Body Heat . To survive a severe cold snap, you may be forced to ask the stoic farmer’s widow or the shy shrine maiden to "share a futon." The consent mechanics in Version 1.02 have been overhauled, moving from a simple affection check to a "Trust vs. Desperation" slider. The higher your desperation (low HP because of frostbite), the easier it is to convince someone, but the more guilt the character feels the next morning.
