It's a different kind of sorcery.

Gotham city is a cesspool for a lot of weird things; mentally unhinged crime lords, homicidal clowns, vampire wannabes... Self installing, medieval speaking phone apps was one thing you don't expect to join the list. What's next, there's alternate version of you out there called David Walker?

And how in the fuck did it get your name?

You suppose it doesn't matter, it probably scraped it from your email account or something. You figure it to be one of those bugs that spawn up on phones and compromise their system. Since buying a new phone isn't on your agenda anytime soon, you uninstall it... or you tried to. You are mildly surprised when your attempt results in App cannot be uninstalled. It make you sigh in exasperation. This tech stuff is not your forte. Your phone displays the 'affection multiplier' like some kind of prize and the app heart icon is looking somewhat appealing enough, that you decide to hell with it and launch the app anyways. Worse case scenario, your phone shuts down and never turn on again.

What is the Affection multiplier app?

The Affection Multiplier is a gift that allows your relationships with people to build five times faster. It is an always present gift, and will affect every aspect of your social life from now on. The Affection Multiplier App is a useful resource to check the progress of your relationships with people through the use of an intuitive scoring system.

RELATIONSHIP TYPES

Affection/Reputation score: This monitors how people respect you socially. People with high affection points will see you as a friend, someone they can rely on. Once their Aff/Rep points clock 50, an inquest of whether one wants to pursue a romantic path with them is provided.

Love score: Gives a numerical value to the amount of romantic affection a person holds for you. It appears only when the person starts developing these feelings for you. For reference, most teenage couples go steady at scores of 25 to 35 and most happily married couples have scores ranging from 55 to 70 points. Should a person reach 100 points, they’ll be completely devoted to you.

Lust score: Gives a numerical value to the amount of sexual desire a person feels towards you. A person does not necessarily needs to have developed romantic feelings them to feel lust. For reference, most sexually active individuals fluctuate from 40 to 60 points. This score is the most prone to heavy fluctuate, as sexual desire raises or drops depending on the person.
