How to romance people in My Time at Sandrock

After raising a relationship with a romance candidate of your choice in My Time at Sandrock, you’ll need to confess your feelings to them. You can do this by giving the character a Heart Knot after becoming friends with them.

That said, there are some characters who will confess their feelings to you first. These are Arvio and Unsuur, and it’ll be your decision whether you reciprocate their feelings or reject them. It also looks as though some other characters, including Logan, can confess their feelings to the player first, but we aren't 100% sure what triggers these events.

Additionally, giving a character the Heart Knot doesn’t guarantee that they’ll return your affections. If you’re lucky, they’ll reciprocate and they will become your boyfriend or girlfriend. Failing that, you’ll have to continue increasing your friendship with them and gift them the Heart Knot again until they accept.

You can also romance multiple characters at once in My Time at Sandrock, but this doesn’t come without a penalty. If you’re caught on a date with a character by another character you have a romantic relationship with, a jealousy event will occur; the date will end, and you’ll lose some of your relationship points with both parties.

That said, there are some great mods for My Time at Sandrock, and one of them does allow you to have multiple relationships at once if that’s your thing!

Once you’re in a relationship with a character, you might want to break up with them and romance someone else, or eventually get married. If you decide to do the latter, here’s our guide on how to get married in My Time at Sandrock.
