Eden the hunter/huntress is a hermit who lives deep within the forest. They are self-sufficient and deemed as a capable hunter, with a strong distaste for the town. They own Eden's Cabin, their home in the woods. The only way for the player to meet Eden properly is for the player to get themselves captured by Eden.

As a possible Love Interest, Eden is noteworthy in that the player will need a particular character trait in order to properly romance them. Submitting to Eden is essential to acquiring this trait. Otherwise, Eden will act more lecherous and aggressive towards the player, resulting in every sexual encounter being non-consensual.

Description

Almost nothing concrete is said about Eden's appearance, leaving it up to the player's imagination. However, when bathing with a romanced Eden, players will have the option to examine their body. They will notice that Eden's muscles are very defined. They will respond that "you can't avoid having a body like this when you live like I do," sounding almost ashamed, giving the player the option to reassure them.

First Meeting

There are only two ways to meet Eden: to get hunted by them while walking alone in the woods, or having Bailey sell the player to them.

• First Method: Traveling in the woods alone risks the chances of either Eden or Black Wolf taking an interest in the player. When this happens, a warning will be given: Something is hunting you. The player will also be informed of either bullets lying on the ground, boot prints, or the sound of a gunshot from afar. Should the player not get out of the forest in time, Eden will catch up with them. They fire a bullet in the player's direction but miss them, ordering them not to resist. This then triggers a non-consensual encounter. Choosing to fight off Eden will prove to be very difficult, if not impossible. The player will need very good combat prowess to successfully fight them off. After losing combat against Eden or submitting to them willingly, the player is bound and taken back to Eden's Cabin.

• Second Method: Failing to pay Bailey for the second time. They will put a bag over the player's head and escort them elsewhere to make a "transaction." The new buyer turns out to be Eden, who then takes the player back to their log cabin. (Read Bailey's Payments for more information on Bailey's punishments.)

After taking the player back to a cabin deep in the woods, Eden will remark that the player is lucky to have been found by them. They will seem softer than before and then make a proposition: if the player "gives them comfort and company," they will "protect and provide" the player. Whether the player accepts or refuses, they will be stripped of their freedom. Eden will tie the player to a post to ensure their cooperation and squash any hope of escape.

Schedule

Eden has two timetables, dependent on their character state. Their schedule is consistent, that sees no change regardless of the day of the week.

"Lecherous" Timetable:

• 7AM-9AM: Eden wakes up, beginning their day by requesting the player to make breakfast for them, which takes twenty minutes.
• 9AM-5PM: After breakfast, Eden will go about their daily business while holding the player's leash tightly. They keep the player close at all times, at some point having to tie the player to a tree/post and leave them there temporarily when they need to use both hands. If the player wants to escape, the player can weaken the leash during this opportunity, or simply remain obedient.
• 5PM-7PM: Eden will go back home to bathe and have the player get in with them.
• 7PM-11PM: Eden will relax by reading a book by the fire. The player has the option to cuddle with them (surprising them and increasing both Trust and Stockholm Syndrome) or to get some rest (reducing Fatigue).
• 11PM-12AM: A lustful Eden will have their way with the player's body. This non-consensual encounter cannot be avoided.
• 12PM-7AM: Eden will be sleeping. If the player wants to escape, this may be the chance.

Note that in every segment of Eden's day, the player can choose to comply with Eden's demands, or refuse and enrage Eden. Either way, the leash can be weakened little by little if early escape is the goal.

"Trusting" Timetable:

• 7AM-9AM: Eden wakes up, beginning their day by requesting the player to make breakfast for them, which takes twenty minutes. After having breakfast, Eden spends the remainder of this period inside the cabin "getting ready for the day."
• 9AM-11AM: After exiting the cabin, Eden will be tending the crops in the clearing just outside.
• 11AM-3PM: Eden heads out to hunt. The player will have the option to ask to go along, or stay in the cabin. Both options will span the same amount of time.
• 3PM-4PM: After getting back home, Eden will be outside the cabin skinning their prey. It's noted that the smell makes the player queasy. The player has the option of making lunch for Eden, which will pleasantly surprise them.
• 4PM-5PM: Eden will be chopping firewood outside. They may take a break in the form of asking the player for sex.
• 5PM-6PM: After a hard day's work, Eden will retire into the cabin and prepare the bath. Should the player enter the cabin anytime between 5 and 6 PM, Eden will request the player to get in with them. This will take thirty in-game minutes.
• 6PM: Eden will make dinner, and invite the player to join them.
• 6PM-12AM: With all the work done, Eden will be relaxing near the cabin's chimney. Depending on the day, they will spend their time either cleaning their gun or reading. The player may cuddle with them and watch the fire, decreasing trauma, stress, and increasing love. The player may also ask Eden to read to them or teach them to shoot. Additionally, if the player has purchased a radio for Eden, they can choose to dance with them.
• 12AM~ : Eden may crave the player's body. Complying will result in a consensual encounter, while refusing may have the chance of resulting in a non-consensual encounter should Eden not trust the player enough. However, if they do they will simply toss over to the other side, all the while groaning before returning to sleep.
• 12PM-7AM: Eden will be fast asleep. This gives the player some alone time to focus on activities around the cabin.

Obtained upon getting the Stockholm Syndrome: Eden character trait.

Relationship

Building a relationship with Eden may be tricky at first, as all sexual interactions with Eden will be considered non-consensual. This takes a heavy toll on the player's negative stats such as Stress, Trauma and Control if escape is not achieved sooner rather than later.

Romancing Eden requires the player to be submissive and complying with their desires. Submitting to Eden increases points on the Stockholm Syndrome: Eden character trait, while rebelling decreases it. Obeying Eden enough times and warming up to them through certain choices will eventually result in the player earning this trait. Once earned, the trait does not go away. Only then will Eden untie the player.

Eden's Opinion of the Player

Note: Eden uses the same relationship text as other People of Interest.

• Default: Eden has no strong opinion of you.
• Mid Love, Low Dom: Eden looks up to you.
• Mid Love, High Dom: Eden thinks you're cute.
• Low Love, Low Dom: Eden thinks you're irritating.
• Low Love, Mid Dom: Eden thinks you're terrible.
• Low Love, High Dom: Eden thinks you're pathetic.
• High Love, Low Dom: Eden thinks you're inspiring.
• High Love, Mid Dom: Eden thinks you're delightful.
• High Love, High Dom: Eden thinks you're adorable.

Character States

Love Interests have the unique ability to drastically change their personality and/or behaviour, depending on the player's relationship with them. They may change themselves to suit the player's needs, instead of the other way around. These will be referred to as "character progression phases" - CPP for short.

Certain love interests may have several character phases to go through. This will open up unique options only available when pursuing them as a love interest. It also includes various bad phases they may have to go through at some point, should the player choose the wrong decisions.

Each love interest is given their own unique stat and purpose, and Eden is no exception to all of this. Eden's behaviour will become much more trusting of the player, thinking of them as a companion. This allows the player to freely roam around their Cabin, and potentially the option to join them on their hunting trips.

• First phase: Starts at the "Lecherous" phase. This is their default personality. The player is trapped within Eden's Cabin, and must find a means of escaping, or remaining obedient. Eden may initiate more than one sexual encounter during the day with the player against their will, stating that they are "going to enjoy this."
• Second phase: Enters the "Trusting" phase. The player is allowed free access around their cabin.

Additionally, if they are in the "Lecherous" phase, Eden's schedule will be fairly strict - giving the player little time to keep up with their harsh schedule. However, during the "Trusting" phase and once obtained as a love interest, Eden's schedule will open up much more. They remain a person with a heavy schedule, although the player is given a lot more leeway to interact with them. Eden proceeds to do things not otherwise described when the player is abducted under them, such as tending the crops outside or cleaning their gun by the fire.

Cabin Escape

Escaping Eden can be achieved before or after the character trait is obtained, if that is the goal. Weakening the leash when Eden is preoccupied is key to escaping prior to obtaining the character trait, but rebelling against Eden openly and refusing their requests only angers them, resulting in Eden punishing the player either through non-consensual encounters, spanking, or even both. The more peaceful course of action whether the player wishes to escape sooner, later, or not at all, is to be compliant and follow their orders, as defying Eden will cost the player much abuse.

On the other hand, the player can work to earn Eden's trust and have them remove the leash themselves, as explained earlier. Escaping from then onwards is easy as the player will have many opportunities to do so, such as when Eden goes away to hunt, leaving the player alone at the cabin.

Trust, Love and Lust

Eden will need to trust the player should they wish to walk free around the cabin. This is done through remaining obedient for them, such as preparing breakfast for them during the mornings, proceeding to bathe with them as well as remain good when a chance arrives regarding the somewhat weak leash.

As one of several love interests, Eden has three primary stats. Love and Lust are two stats that all love interests share, with Eden possessing a unique stat dedicated to them: "Trust."

• Trust measures how much Eden trusts the player during the "lecherous" phase. It starts out at 0. Doing what Eden asks and not running when the leash is broken will raise Trust. Once Trust reaches 200, the player will be allowed off the leash and the second phase will begin.
  • Trust does not have any impact once the player reaches the "Trusting" phase.
• Love is increased by doing chores around the cabin, submitting to Eden's advances, seducing Eden and following through, showing Eden non-sexual physical affection, bringing Eden supplies from town, and successfully bringing back berries from a hunt. Love starts at 0 and goes up to 200.
• Lust makes Eden approach the player for sex more often. Pleasing Eden sexually lowers Lust, as with all other love interests. Unlike all the other love interests, Eden's Lust will increase by 20 points every day after meeting them. Lust can also be increased by feeding them mushrooms for breakfast or being in the same location with them with a lewd outfit or little to no clothing. Lust starts out at 0 and goes up to 100.
  • When Eden approaches the player character for sex, the player has the option to refuse. If Eden's Love is Higher than their Lust, they will leave the player alone. However, if their Love is not higher, they will force the player, leading to a non-consensual encounter.
  • It's possible for the player to approach Eden for sex. The higher Eden's Lust is, the lower the Seduction requirement.

Claiming Love

To obtain Eden as a love interest, Eden will need to trust the player. This is done through remaining obedient for them, such as preparing breakfast for them during the mornings, proceeding to bathe with them as well as remain good when a chance arrives regarding the somewhat weak leash.

If the player wishes to stay, they can continue to build their relationship with Eden. Remaining in the cabin and working on the crops, collecting mushrooms, or clearing the spring will increase Eden's trust. Just as before, players should continue to satisfy Eden sexually and accept their requests. Little by little, Eden will be more accepting of the player's requests. Eden will accept the player tagging along when they go hunting and even allow them to spend time away from the cabin: initially just a day at a time, but eventually up to a week.

If the player does not return to the cabin within their allowed time, Eden will go search for them in the Town's streets. If they are at low Love, they will hold up a crude sketch of the player and bother the townspeople asking for them. Two options are then given: hide from Eden and move on, or head back to the cabin with them. If the player goes back to the cabin willingly, or if Eden finds the player while hiding, Eden will punish the player with spanking. At high Love, Eden will be more worried than angry, and ask the player to return. The player can choose to return, stay in town, or invite Eden on a date in town to either the shopping center or the park.

Also, all following sexual encounters will be consensual. The player can still refuse Eden's requests and defy them, but Eden rarely takes 'no' for an answer. This is especially common if the player just went out of their way to entice Eden. They will often punish the player and force themselves on them anyway, turning the encounter into a non-consensual one.

As a Love Interest

Once the Stockholm Syndrome: Eden character trait is acquired, Eden's behaviour changes heavily. They will no longer parade the player around out of malicious intent, instead treating them as more of a companion instead of a pest, allowing the player free roam of the cabin.

When the player tries to leave the cabin to return to town, Eden will disapprove of this - thinking of the player as someone who sleeps around. They will ask out of anger if the player wants to "sleep in someone else's bed" while also asking "is that it". The player refuses, replying to Eden's rude comment that they do not want to return to town for that reason, and in other cases (such as being submissive) will state that they belong to Eden.

Eden will reluctantly agree to the player's request, but tells the player to return shortly. Leaving the first time will have them tell the player to return in a day, whereas requesting to leave a second time will have Eden agree once more, but gives the player to return in a week. Otherwise, in a similar fashion to Bailey, Eden will come looking for the player.

If the player remains obedient and satisfies Eden's desires of company and sex, Eden will not be aggressive. After orgasm, they will say things like "I'm glad I keep you around" and "I hope you know how much I need you with me" to the player.

Once Eden has accepted the player as their companion, they will become more protective of the player. If the player is attacked while Eden is hunting, rather than being angry at the player for ruining their hunt, they will be angry at whatever attacked the player for "touching what's mine."

If the player screams in the forest while Eden isn't hunting, they have a chance of saving the player. From there, you can choose to return to the cabin or continue exploring the forest. This will always occur the first time the player screams during an encounter, with subsequent times yielding a 50% chance that Eden will save them. In cases where Eden can't save the player, the message "You're too far from the town for anyone to hear you, and Eden must not be in the area." will appear after screaming.

Eden has a remarkable sex drive and can end up fooling around with the player half a dozen times or more over the course of a day. After being given permission to return to town, the player can go to the Shopping Centre and buy supplies once a week, which can be resold to Eden for £150 profit, the original buying price of £50, or they can tell Eden it's fine and gain Dominance. The player can also buy a radio to give to Eden.

Interactions

Interactions with Eden tend to involve that of a companion - and living off the life in the forest. They will never leave the forest (except when they are looking for a runaway or longly absent player), so almost all interactions with them will take place either in the cabin or the forest. (Read Eden's Cabin for more information on what the player can do while there.)

Trivia

• The name "Eden" is taken from the biblical story of the Garden of Eden, the paradisal abode of Adam and Eve. In ancient Hebrew, the name means "delight" or "pleasurable place", but some scholars have explained that the word derives from the Sumerian term edin, meaning "plain" or "steppe".
• Eden is one of two love interests to exist since the initial release of the game, with the other one being Whitney.
  • The option to choose Eden as a love interest was added in Version 0.2.13, along with the other love interests. They were not initially thought as a "love interest" prior to that however, merely a major NPC whose relationship with the player can be advanced much further in comparison to other Named NPCs.
  • They are also one of five love interests to have a unique character trait tied to them, with the others being Robin, the Black Wolf, Sydney, and the Great Hawk.
  • They are one of three love interests to have a "Stockholm Syndrome" character trait tied to them, with the others being the Black Wolf and the Great Hawk.
• Eden has a Dominance stat, but as of the current version it does not appear to have any use other than changing flavour text on the Social page. Typically going along with their advances will raise Dominance along with Love, and resisting them will decrease both it and Love. There are two actions that decrease Dominance but do not decrease Love: asking Eden for a thank you at breakfast has no effect on love, and reassuring Eden in the bath about their body decreases Dominance while increasing Love.
• Even after claiming Eden as love interest they will still continue to hunt PC in the Forest, though it will lead to different outcomes when they confront you and lead to a choice between staying in the forest or coming to their cabin.
• Currently, Eden is one of four named NPCs in the game whose title changes accordingly with their determined gender, the others being Avery, Jordan, and Leighton.
