Dating in real life can be hard! When you're a bat it can make things harder!

Dating Days

Day 1 at the café starts with Benjamin the mailbat asking what the day's special should be. The one you chose will attract one of 3 bats to the Café:

• Moth Mocha: Acrobat
• Cicada Shake: Pablo
• Cicada Shake: Iris

Depending on how the conversation goes, you can head on a date with the bat in question. A first date on the present day followed by a second date on the next day.

When the next day starts, you'll either go on your second date or pass it up. If the latter happens, the next special on the menu will appear in a looping order:

Moth Mocha > Cicada Shake > Cicada Shake > Repeat to Moth Mocha

Second Date

The final actions you make on the second date will determine what ending you get. Upon the game ending, you'll be sent back to Day 1.

Day of rest

There are a maximum of 3 work days at the Bat Café followed by the Day of rest. If you reach the last day and decide not to go on a date, Willow will celebrate their time off in peaceful solitude. The game will then reset back to Day 1.

Love bats are in the air!

Want to know the secret to everybatty’s heart? Well here's what you do:

• Acrobat
  • On Day 1, pick the "Moth Mocha" special. 
  • Acrobat will approach the desk, eventually asking you out to the disco.
  • When given the option, choose to go up on stage with Acrobat in order to go on a second date.
• Cleo
  • On Day 1, pick the "Moth Mocha" special. 
  • Acrobat will turn up and let you go to the disco with him, where he introduces you to Cleo.
  • When you have the choice to go up on stage, choose to dance with Cleo in order to go on a second date.
• Pablo
  • On Day 1, pick the "Cicada Shake" special.
  • Pablo will turn up and invite you to the wrestling ring. 
• Iris
  • On Day 1, pick the "Papaya Salad Bowl" special. 
  • Iris will turn up and invite you out for a picnic. 

How to unlock the extra date:

To unlock the extra dates campaign, you have to make it to Date 2 with all previous datable characters (Acrobat, Cleo, Pablo & Iris).  

• You can either successfully date or reject each bat. So long as you see the credits of their campaign, you're golden.
• Effectively, unlock badge 12. Which is done by getting Badges 1 or 2, 3 or 4, 5 or 6 and 7 or 8.

Once you've done that, you'll unlock the extra date. The "Start Day 1" Option will change its icon to Esther's face and read "Start Extra Date". When you start Day 1 as usual, a forth special will be listed: "Extra Dates". Selecting this will start the new date!

The date will happen over the course of 3 in-game days and feature a story starring Esther & Benjamin. You can end up dating either of them by the end of Day 3, shortly after picking the winner of the Cosplay Contest.
