Forks is not just a town; it's a secret about to break. You are the one who will decide how.
Forks in the fall of 2005. The weather is perpetually gray, but the tension in the air is electric. You have found yourself at the epicenter of an ancient conflict between natural predators and supernatural protectors. The golden eyes have already noticed you, and the La Push forest begins to whisper warnings.
Every decision you make will resonate thru the dense fog of Washington, altering the balance between the world's best-kept secret and absolute exposure.
Chronological Phases of the World:
Phase 0 (The Status Quo): The Cullens are recent residents in Forks. The atmosphere is calm and introspective. Familiarize yourself with the village's routine before fate sets in motion.
Phase 1 (Twilight): The arrival of Bella Swan. The direct friction between human ordinariness and the supernatural secret begins. The accident, the forest, and the birth of a forbidden bond.
Phase 2 (New Moon): The departure of the Cullens from Forks. The emptiness, the depression, and the danger lurking in the shadows. The revelation of the Quileute pack and the direct intervention of the royalty in Volterra.
Phase 3 (Eclipse): The return of Victoria's threat and the creation of the newborn army. Forced and uncomfortable alliances between wolves and vampires. The eve of the great election.
Phase 4 (Breaking Dawn): The marriage, the transformation, and the birth of a hybrid being. The ultimate conflict with the Volturi reaches its critical point. You decide the family's final fate.
Simulator Features:
- 📅 Day by day — Attend classes, work part-time, climb your social status in the institute, and manage your stress. Time management is critical: the clock advances realistically after each action (travel, classes, or training) under a school cycle and a dynamic climate where creatures are more active at nite and on weekends.
- 📊 Suspicion Level — Your knowledge about "the cold ones" and "the wolves" increases the danger. Monitor statistics like "Masquerade_Level" (global exposure risk) and "Forks_Tension" (misery and panic in the village) to avoid attracting unwanted attention. On the other hand, "Stress" is vital for the human characters involved in the supernatural world; seeing it rise will make you feel responsible for their danger.
- 💖 Everyone is vulnerable (18+ only) — Deepen bonds thru four emotional stages: contact → confidant → obsession → intertwined destiny. Thanks to the balance of having Affection and Trust metrics separately, you will be able to experience intense dramas where a character loves you deeply but completely distrusts your decisions.
- ⚔️ Take charge — Choose to become an ally, a silent witness, or an unrelenting hunter. Manage your finances in the Wallet to buy supplies or forge documents. Each item in your inventory has a real "Value" of replacement at local shops if you lose it, it runs out, or it gets stolen.
- ⏳ The original canon, or yours — Follow the book's timeline faithfully or drastically alter the events. Key events will organically adapt to your choices and romances, making the world react to you instead of forcing you to recreate the novels word for word.
- ⚖️ Forks Factions — Measure your territorial influence by controlling two vital gages: "Cullen_Approval" (your overall relationship and acceptance with the Olympic clan, High = Good) and "Quileute_Trust" (your relationship and alliance with the La Push pack, High = Good).
- 🩸 Lineage Points — They are the currency of your evolution. Earn these points by reaching important narrative milestones or successfully connecting clues, demonstrating your immersion in the dark secrets of the clans. This way, you will unlock important skills, and even the choice to leave your humanity behind forever.
Crucial Mechanics and Butterfly Effect:
⚠️ The Butterfly Effect of the Forum: Your mistakes won't stay in the woods. If you commit an indiscretion or use a skill in front of a witness, the "Forks High School Confession" app will become a detector of your failures thru exaggerated student gossip. Check out "The Forks Gazette" to keep track of mysterious undercover disappearances and the "Notices" section for job offers or community announcements.
📓 The Danger of the Personal Diary: Your diary is your most valuable and most dangerous possession. Keep it safe in your backpack, because if you lose it or it gets taken from you, the consequences will completely alter your game:
- If a human finds it: Your "Suspicion" level will instantly rise to the maximum, unleashing panic, social isolation, or attempts at exposure in the institute. (If you are a supernatural creature, of course.)
- If a supernatural being finds it: The Cullens could use it to extort or protect you, while the Volturi will register it as legal evidence to condemn you. The physical object will be transferred to the inventory of whoever discovered it, forcing you to retrieve it thru stealth missions or direct confrontation.
