How to Romance Someone

In Roots of Pacha and real life, you can gain friendship points by speaking with the people of the clan and by giving them gifts that they like.

Dating

Next to the name of each NPC is a picture of a flower. Platonic friendships will be shown with a yellow flower Roots of Pacha Yellow Flower, while characters that are romanceable will have a pink flower Roots of Pacha Pink Flower. As your friendship improves with that person the number of flowers will increase.

Once you reach 6 flowers with a romanceable character, they will ask you to start dating them. You can date all the characters date all of the characters at the same time, with no repercussions, and gender doesn’t matter.

Marriage

Once you reach 10 flowers with one of the romanceable, they will ask you if you want to form a union together (get married). It will take 4 days for the marriage to happen.

Once you marry someone in Roots of Pacha, they will move into your house and follow their normal schedule as if nothing changed. Your spouse will give you meals in the morning if you talk to them while they are cooking and will also occasionally give you gifts.
