Keyholders

TL;DR

If you have an Owner, he holds your key and there is no choice to make.

On the Independent route you start out holding your own spare key, and at some point that stops feeling like the point of wearing a cage. The game offers you a one time decision: hand the key to someone. Seven candidates, most of them gated behind a relationship you have to build first.

GrindrR matches cannot hold your key. The people you meet through the dating app are a separate track and never become the partner the game recognises, so Kai, Tyler, Owen and the rest are not on the list no matter how far those arcs go.

Getting the choice to appear

The picker shows up as a bedroom action at your apartment. All of these have to be true at once:

Requirement Why
You are wearing the cage wearing_chastity
No Owner Independent route only. An Owner route hands the key over on his own terms.
You still hold the key The choice is one time. Once someone else has it, this is gone.
Submissiveness 30+ You have to actually want this before the game offers it.

The seven

Always available

Sage, your roommate. No requirements at all. Quiet, a bit odd, will not gossip about it. If nothing else on this list is open to you yet, Sage is.

A stranger. Also no requirements. A numbered envelope into the post box on Main, no name, no return address. Exactly as reckless as it sounds, and the game does not pretend otherwise.

Earned through a relationship

Vivienne, at the Velvet Lounge. Needs your relationship with her at stage 3 or higher. She will be amused, and she will be careful, in that order.

Derek, at the office. Needs any relationship with him at all, stage 1 is enough. He already behaves as though he owns a piece of you, so this mostly makes the paperwork match reality.

Mira, at the Kennel. Needs the Pet Play content track switched on in your preferences, and you must have met her. She runs a clean ledger and treats it as an administrative matter, which is its own kind of unsettling.

Your partner

Your girlfriend can take it, but only on her Domme route. That is the path where she stops asking what you want and starts deciding it. The acceptance, breakup, cuckold and open routes do not open this: she has to be running the rest of you before the game lets her run this too.

Your boyfriend can take it off the acceptance route, once he has been picking your clothes and your evenings for a while, and provided you are not on the masculine route.

Patreon only. The boyfriend keyholder chain is Patreon exclusive in 0.3.3.x. It becomes free in the next version, the same one release delay the Kennel and Construction Site tracks had. On the free build the option will not appear even with every other condition met.

What happens after you hand it over

Whoever you pick, the same clock starts:

  • Four days minimum. You cannot ask for an unlock until four days have passed. There is no way to shorten this.
  • Asking needs Arousal 50+. Below that the request option is not shown at all. If you are wondering where it went, that is usually why.
  • Each keyholder answers differently. Vivienne, Mira, Sage and the stranger each have their own unlock scene and their own idea of what counts as a good enough reason.

If you change your mind

The key being with someone else is not a dead end. Depending on your route and how long you have been locked, the game offers a quiet removal on your own, an earned relief through your Owner, simply walking away from the arrangement, or picking the lock. None of those leave you stuck. Even a permanent lock has a way out, it just is not a dignified one.
