This guide is designed to assist players focused on pursuing a specific love interest (“LI”). It focuses solely on the four primary LIs and does not interfere with the overarching plan of Detachment from DNA.
Walkthrough
This walkthrough will help guide any player who has his or her heart set on a particular love interest (“LI”). It covers only the four main LI’s.
If you don’t see a choice under an LI’s section, or if I haven’t highlighted an option, you can make whatever choice you want without any consequences as to your path with that woman. Choices to come inside a woman are not included in this guide.
The Stats:
There are three types of stats you can build with the women:
- Interest – Interest points are available for all four LI’s. Interest points are gained by doing things that make the LI’s more interested in you. Frequently, you can do this just by doing something that shows your interest in them, because you showing your interest in them reaffirms their being interested in you.
- Assertive – Assertive points are available for Aghavni and Malena. Both of these women respect and are attracted to assertive men. If you make choices that make you look like a doormat, you won’t have a chance with either of them.
- Trust – Trust points are presently available for Jamie, Aghavni, and Emmeline. MC has a long history of being difficult to get close to. At least for these three women, you will need to show some growth here. The women want to trust you and they want you to trust them. So make choices that show them they are important to you.
- Respect – As of Episode Three, Respect points exist only for the very limited purpose of counterbalancing you looking like an if you insisted on driving. While Aghavni likes the assertiveness, she also wants to know that you respect her.
- Your Trust points are important for another reason. MC’s growth (or lack thereof) in both his romantic relationships and his relationships with his friends is one of the central themes of Leaving DNA. You can help MC overcome his aloofness or you can choose to have him embrace it. Your Trust points will accumulate whether or not you are on any given LI’s romance path and will impact the endings available to you.

* If you don’t choose “magnificent” then her paths will close
** In order to get this option, you need to have at least 5 Assertive and you need to have told Aghavni you respected her. If you “laugh it off,” you can’t get Aghavni’s friends with benefits content. This decision may also shut off her romance path, but I haven’t decided that yet.
*** If you choose “yes” then Aghavni’s path will close
Jamie
Jamie’s content can only be reached on a romance path.

*If you ignore Emmeline, you clearly signal to her you are not interested, which will open you up to early sex with Malena. However, there’s a more polite way to do this later so I can’t recommend this.
**Telling Emmeline you don’t like kids will allow you to have early sex scenes with Malena. If you tell Emmeline you do like kids, you won’t get the early sex scenes, but you can still keep open both a romance or a friends with benefits path with Malena and get sex scenes with her later on.
