Location

Apartment

Where you live, where most of the game happens, where the Master watches.

Quick facts

Hotspots: 10
Background: apartment_room (loft variant at endgame)
BGM: apartment
Residents: Player, [[char:master|Master]] (intensity 1+)
Saturday visitor: [[char:sarah|Sarah]]

TL;DR

The apartment is where you start and where you end most days. Ten hotspots cover daily activities (computer, bedroom, wardrobe, bathroom, vanity, basement, playroom, upgrades, couch, the door to outside). The morning planner overlay (#ui:planner) lets you queue shower / makeup / wardrobe before stepping into the day. Sleep advances Day + restores Energy via the overnight processing tunnel.

If you took a Master at character creation (intensity 1+) he lives here. Almost every private Master scene fires in this location.

The ten hotspots

Hotspot	What lives there
Computer	Hypno content, streaming, dating apps (GrindrR), job board.
Bedroom	Sleep, masturbation, bed upgrades.
Bathroom	Shower, cold shower (Arousal escape), grooming.
Wardrobe	Equip outfits. The whole equipment system lives here.
Vanity	Makeup, nails. Sets `has_makeup_on` + `nail_tier`.
Couch	Cuddle, Sarah visits land here.
Upgrades	Apartment upgrades (bed tier T1/T2/T3, decor, playroom).
Basement	Workshop, storage, escalation room. Master-route only.
Playroom	Late-game BDSM space. Requires upgrade purchase.
Go Outside	Doorway to the city. The map node.

Daily rhythm

Morning. Planner + routine.

Day rolls over → MorningRoutine fires. The planner overlay (#ui:planner) lets the player queue shower / makeup / wardrobe-change before the day starts. Each queued task takes one Continue click to execute. After the queue drains, you’re back in the apartment hub at TimeSlot 0.

During the day. Energy + TimeSlot.

Most actions cost Energy via do_action(N, M). Time advances in segments (Morning / Afternoon / Evening / Night). Hit TimeSlot 3 (Night) and clicking any action auto-sleeps. If Energy hits 0, Exhaustion Blackout routes to ApartmentSleep_Forced regardless of where you are.

Evening. Wind-down.

The apartment is the natural evening hub. Computer for streaming, vanity for next-day prep, bedroom for sleep. Most NPCs have evening-specific dialogue variants if you visit them late.

Night. Sleep tunnel.

Two entry points: voluntary ApartmentSleep (clicked from bedroom) and forced ApartmentSleep_Forced (Energy 0 blackout). Both call the same overnight_processing tunnel that:

Resets Energy to max_energy (100, bed-tier bonuses push to 110/115/120).
Advances Day by 1.
Runs SMS chains, dream scenes, milestone checks, rent (Day 7).
Routes through check_endgame for ending eligibility.
Lands on MorningRoutine for the next day.

Adding new overnight mechanics goes in the tunnel, never in one of the two entry knots.

Master scenes live here

Almost every Master private encounter (Inspection, Praise, Test, Service, CollarCheck) is staged in the apartment. The bedroom or the basement, depending on the scene. The Master also drops in unannounced for morning checks.

Master page has the full progression. Independent route (intensity 0) replaces all of this with self-discovery scenes at the computer.

Sarah’s Saturday visits

Every Saturday (Day % 7 == 6), Sarah arrives. Couch hotspot, then optionally bedroom. The visits run through 6 phases over the game (Honeymoon → Cracks → Discovery → Confrontation → Silence → Resolution). See Sarah for the full breakdown.

If wearing_chastity or EquippedFeminine is set when she arrives, the visit can branch into the Discovery scene.

Apartment upgrades

Bed tier (T0 default / T1 / T2 / T3) drives max_energy (100 / 110 / 115 / 120). Decor changes flavor and unlocks late-game scenes. The playroom upgrade is the gate for several BDSM scenes; Master-route only.

Tips and gotchas

The wardrobe owns the equipment system

All slot-based outfit changes happen at the wardrobe. The vanity is for cosmetics only (makeup + nails). Don’t expect outfit swaps from anywhere else.

Cold shower is the cheap Arousal escape

Bathroom → cold shower: -15 Arousal, 5 Energy, 1×/day, requires Arousal >= 30. The Spa has a stronger version (Cold Plunge: -25 Arousal, no daily cap, $15). Use the apartment one first to save money.

Loft mode at endgame

If you reach the endgame and pick the Loft ending, the background swaps to loft_room and the hotspot map subtly shifts. Same Ink file, different visual.

Master, lives here on intensity 1+ routes.
