Hypnosis Character Guide - Episode One

Hey, everyone!

I wanted to post a quick character guide for my game Hypnosis, both for people who have yet to play the game and players who could use a reminder since the last time they played.

This guide covers the first episode in order to keep things relatively spoiler free, so if you've already played the game, there is also a guide for up to Episode Fourteen meant for returning players.

The game can be found both on my Patreon and Itch.io

Main Characters

Introduced in the first episode

You

With a customizable name, you play the Main Character, a college student whose parents move away. The game begins with him moving in with his best friend Cory and his family. As the story plays out, you will be given many choices to test him.

He starts out with good intentions and tries to help out the people in his life, especially the girls. However, it’s up to you whether he starts to become more selfish with his actions.

Cory

The MC’s best friend is a bit of a goof, but loyal and a good friend to have. He is willing to help the MC find his girl but expects the same in return. The more you help him, the more willing he is to help you and look the other way at times.

Story options: Initially he likes Ashley and asks if you’ll help him with her. Regardless, he doesn’t have a chance. Next, he’ll ask you to set him up with a girl, so you can take him out to a bar for happy hour and/or a house party where he’ll meet a girl and get lucky.

Leah

Your friend Cory's little sister, Leah is a cute girl of Korean descent. The game begins with you moving into her and Cory's family home and he specifically asks you not to hook up with her.

Leah is a social butterfly. She tends to pick up the traits of whoever she is with, and makes friends easily. She's popular with her classmates and is easy to get along with. She also values honesty and distances herself from people she doesn't trust.

Her best friend is Ashley, who she spends the most time with. She later becomes aware of her twin sister who was also adopted but still lives in Korea, and wants to meet her.

Physical: Brown eyes, black hair, tan complexion. 5'6, 140 pounds, starts the game with a B cup and a petite ass.

Story options: Getting closer with Leah happens quickly, as she’s the one to introduce you to the other girls. Trying to get with her too hard too fast can have negative consequences, so it’s best to play things safe at times.

Ashley

Leah's best friend, Ashley is a small purple haired ball of fun. She lives with her mom Beth, and the two have a decent relationship. As an only child, Ashley tends to assume the leadership position and tries to direct people in the direction she thinks is best. She's honest and loyal.

Physical: Brown eyes with a tint of red, especially contrasted to her purple hair. She's half Japanese, half European on her mom's side. 5'2, 120 pounds, starts at a small C cup.

Story options: Starting out, you can choose whether to pursue Leah or Ashley, and dating both might get you into trouble.

Grace

Although she tries to appear tough, but we learn quickly Grace is all bark with little bite. More of a loner, she isn’t as close with Laura as the other girls are with their besties. Most people would say she doesn’t make a great first impression, but she tends to improve once you get to know her.

Physical: Brown eyes, brown hair. Both of her parents are Hispanic. 5’3, 135 pounds, starts at a large C cup.

Story options: The MC and Cory run into Leah and her classmates while out bowling, and here he runs into Grace with her friend Laura. They tell him to say something mean to one of the other girls, and Grace tells him that if he does, she’ll be his girlfriend. Otherwise, they will be enemies, setting up their interactions going forward.

Laura

The MC and Laura went to high school together, and she still has a crush on him. She doesn’t show this very well, and doesn’t realize her being mean to the other girls isn’t exactly a turn on. She is used to being the rich girl and people trying to be her friend for her pool, so she tends to be defensive. She’s friends with Grace, and she has an older sister she looks up to.

Physical: Green eyes, sandy blonde hair. European descent. 5’7, 145 pounds, starts at a C cup.

Story options: You soon learn she has a crush on you and can choose how to respond.

Jenn

Known as the quiet girl, Jenn can be painfully shy. She is the one Laura and Grace pick on at the start, and when the MC chooses whether or not to say something mean, it also sets the tone of their future reactions.

At her side is Haley, her best friend willing to stand up for her. Jenn likes the MC right away and is willing to do anything for him.

Physical: Blue eyes, sandy blonde hair. European descent. 5'8, 140 pounds, starts at a large C cup and big ass.

Story options: Jenn has two main paths, the girlfriend or the slut. One focuses on building her up to become a better and more complete person, the other encourages her to let loose her wild side and embrace her inner exhibitionist. At first the cost of the slut path is treating her badly, but later she and the MC are on better terms where they start to have a healthier relationship.

Haley

Although the above girls start out as the main five, by later episodes Haley has all but cemented herself as part of the main crew. She’s Jenn’s best friend, although she considers her best friend to actually be her childhood best friend Rachel.

Physical: Bright red hair, green eyes, light complexion and freckles. 5’5, she starts out a bit overweight at 170 pounds with a small C cup.

Story options: At first Haley will be protective over her best friend, but eventually warms up to you.

Each of the five girls will introduce you to a new girl, including:

Leah's twin adopted sister Aera

Grace's foreign exchange student friend Daphne

Laura's older sister Brittany

Jenn and Haley’s friend Rachel

Ashley's mom Beth
