Quick answer
Nivalis Nights includes relationships with city residents, and the official FAQ says player choices can shape whether a relationship is romantic or otherwise. The official store page also describes making friends and enemies. Specific romance routes, affection values, gifts, dates, and endings are not detailed in the cited official FAQ.
What choices are confirmed to affect
The publisher's pinned FAQ says players will meet citizens and their choices affect the type of relationship they have with them. It leaves the exact romance mechanics intentionally open. The official store page frames relationships alongside business and daily life, rather than as a standalone dating mode.
A spoiler-conscious way to explore
Speak with characters as you encounter them and read each dialogue option before choosing. Keep a save before an important conversation if the game provides a convenient save option and you want to compare outcomes. This is general caution; the official source does not promise that dialogue can be replayed or reversed.
Avoid guides that state exact thresholds or required gifts without showing where the information came from and which version they tested. We will add route details only after they are repeatable in-game.
What is still unknown
The sources reviewed do not list eligible romance characters, relationship meters, route locks, gift preferences, or the consequences of individual choices. This page does not invent those details.
