Learning to accept herself and know that she doesn't have to please everyone to feel good about herself is at the heart of her character arc.

Meeting River

You can encounter River by interacting with any source of running water throughout your house. This interaction will summon her to appear. You can do this immediately after completing the tutorial, making her one of the more accessible characters to find early in your experience.

Building Your Relationship With River

River experiences significant insecurity about how others perceive her, which influences most of her dialogue and interactions. She maintains friendships with many other Dateables and has romantic connections with some of them. When interacting with her, you should always provide support and show romantic interest only when the situation calls for it.

River responds positively when you show that you like her for who she is. She reacts negatively when you attempt to define her or limit her identity. Her core struggle involves finding her personality while resisting the urge to create fake personas to gain approval from others.

Achieving the Love Ending

To get to the happy finish with River, you have to help her through several dates with other Dateables where she has identity problems. She will try to put on fake identities during these exchanges to get people to like her. You should always be there to help and reassure them during these times.

When opportunities arise, express how much you appreciate her authentic self rather than her attempts to please others. This approach will resonate with her more than any other form of encouragement. Once she develops true self-acceptance, she will become honest about her feelings toward you, giving you the opportunity to reciprocate those feelings.

Achieving the Friendship Ending

Help her find herself by supporting and encouraging her along the way, just like you did on the love ending road. When the time comes, you will be given the choice to choose friendship over romance if that is what you want.

Achieving the Hate Ending

To reach this ending, you must consistently treat River with disrespect and dismiss her concerns. Act in ways that are intentionally mean and unserious toward her throughout your interactions.
