Jase: […] Sure, I've been on a couple of dates in the last few years, but it's that it's different, though. It is almost maybe more like I'm polysaturated at one rather than it being monogamous.

Helene: […] You can have limiting factors, right? Some people may not want to date you just like as… Like when you’re trying to romance someone of the same gender, not everyone is gay. You can have limiting factors like that if you want to not have to write 720 different plot line scenes in your game. You could also have limiting factors with the fact that you can only connect to X amount of people over the course of a year or whatever the timeline of the game is. You can only build so many deep relationships, because just like being polysaturated, which is the word for when you are at the maximum capacity of people you can date, then you can’t spread yourself any thinner, or you’re not going to get to see where the relationships with those other people get to go.
