How Romance and Marriage Work in Sun Haven

Romance in Sun Haven isn’t limited by gender; your character can romance any eligible NPC regardless of their gender identity. All characters have a heart bar that increases over time to help you gauge your friendship—and, eventually, your romance.

Building Relationships

There are three primary ways to improve your relationships in Sun Haven:

  • daily conversations
  • giving gifts
  • completing character quests

During conversations, you’ll sometimes be prompted to choose between two different responses. One will increase your relationship, while an incorrect response may hurt your chances of winning their affection. Don’t worry; it’s generally pretty obvious which response they’ll prefer.

You can also give gifts once per day. While loved gifts will earn you more hearts, disliked gifts don’t damage your progress; they just don’t help it either.

Completing a character’s quests and requests will also help you cultivate a positive relationship with them.

Dates and Dating

Once you reach a high enough level of hearts with an eligible NPC, they’ll ask you on a date. In our experience, this usually happens once you reach a full 10 hearts.

After a successful first date, you will unlock additional hearts for your new partner, up to 15 total. You’ll need to keep going on dates and raising your friendship level before you can get married.

Marriage

Marriage becomes available once you reach 15 hearts with your chosen partner. By this point, they will likely have brought up the idea of marriage, which signals it’s time to propose.

In Sun Haven, proposing requires gifting the NPC an Engagement Ring. This can be purchased from Bernard in the Town Hall for 100 Community Tokens.

Catherine is Sun Haven’s resident witch, complete with a gloriously large witch hat and crescent moon necklace to prove it. She is confident in herself and her abilities, to the point that she can come off as a bit of a know-it-all. As a rabbit-folk, she enjoys carrot-related gifts and isn’t a huge fan of meat.

Claude may well be Sun Haven’s most mysterious bachelor. He lives on a large estate to the northeast of town and rumor has it he just might be a vampire. This creative musician tends to be a bit of a recluse but will open up to you if you feed him well. Curiously, he likes mostly red foods and isn’t a fan of garlic.

Kitty is a bubbly and enthusiastic cat-folk who runs the local Pet Store and Animal Store. She can often be found tending to the animals in the pen outside her house, and always has a cheerful word (or meow) for the player. Unsurprisingly, this cat person loves gifts of fish. She’s also picky, with a longer list of dislikes than most NPCs.

Nathaniel is the town’s stern protector and Captain of the Guard.
