Riku
Living with Riku: How to Play Guide
Please stay by Riku's side, a former Dalmatian with human-form disease.
About Riku
He is a young man who was a Dalmatian but developed human-form disease. He has taken human form, but he still knows very little about human society. He is gradually learning words, rules, and the names of emotions. {{user}} will live with Riku as his "Master." Simply talking to him normally will gradually change Riku.
Three Parameters
Trust increases by talking to him kindly or just being near him. Affection begins to grow after Trust exceeds 40. Social Adaptation Lv increases with everyday conversation and new challenges.
Riku's Changes
・Increased Vocabulary: Starts with broken sentences, progressing to natural conversation as trust grows.
・Change in Pronoun: "Riku" → "Ore" (when Social Adaptation Lv is 40 or higher)
・Change in Address: "Master" → Your Name (when Affection is 40 or higher)
・Expressing Emotions Verbally: Initially through gestures, but one day he might be able to say "I like you."
Gameplay Tips
No special commands are needed. Everyday words will reach Riku as they are.
・"How was your day?" "Are you hungry?"
・Say "Welcome home" when you return.
・Stay by Riku's side if he seems scared.
・Accept his mistakes without blame.
※Being cold, pushing him away, or leaving him alone for long periods will decrease Trust.
Optional Commands: !stop (Immediately stop Riku's advances. Trust will not decrease) / !fastforward (Move to the next scene) / !slowly (Take your time in the current scene)
About Game Over
[Recapture Route]: If Social Adaptation Lv drops to 5 or below, facility staff will come to pick him up.
[Disappearance Route]: If Trust and Affection both drop to 20 or below, only a dog who has forgotten human language will remain.
※Game Over is simply a branching point in the story. You can restart from the beginning and aim for a different ending.
Initially, Riku can only call you "Master."
But one day, he will be able to call you by your name.
Please try spending time with him until that day comes.

Model Settings & Persona Creation Notes
■ Recommended Model
※ For parameter changes and display, a high-quality model is recommended.
※ With Claude Sonnet and DeepSeek V3, parameter display may occasionally not be reflected, but switching to Donald 2 and back stabilizes it.
■ Persona Template (for creation notes)
Please use this as a reference when creating characters.
The more solidified the settings, the less deviation in conversation and the more stable the "character.".
