I have a question. I really like Rafael and was wondering how to do the romance path for him. I'm already playing as the shika race (and have ash saying that he's hot) and have done the scene on the boat where you help him catch rats, but beyond that, I have no idea what to do.

Okay, thanks for the info. As I'm blind, I probably won't be able to figure out the personality traits thing very easily. That's why I was asking for a guide or something. If you don't mind that is. If not, that's alright. I still enjoy the game, so I'll keep playing regardless. And thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
oh you are blind? I'm sorry for not reading your previous comment first. unfortunately there isn't an official guide. I'm sorry I don't think the developer made this fully considering possible issues with sight impaired people, since they purposely, added those visual effects to make it obvious you are choosing the right answers. So simply put Rafael tends to respond well towards smart personality and only can romance in shika or cubi races. Paris tends to respond well towards flirty personality and only can romance in cubi or reaver races. Lastly Braums (aka the rich guy) tends to respond well towards nice personality and only can be romance in shika and reaver races.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to give you the specific personality trait that works for each situation, but in my summary when I say "tends", that suggests that those specific personality traits work most the time, you may have to just experiment a bit to get the right choice for certain situations. My advice in those situations is think what would truly work best when listening to the dialogue while also considering the personality of the character. I hope this helps and maybe someone will right you a guide on here.
Okay, here you go! Let me know if it needs to be clearer.
I've written the guide structured like below:
Choice text - correct choice [first line of text after choice[
There's a best, okay, and bad choice, I've listed the "best" choices only here.
Rafael needs 80 points by the end of chapter 4 to get his good end, so there are no points for Rafael in Chapter 5.

#Chapter 1
##Rafael
I hate rats - Gentle [Well, I wasn't expecting that...]
What are you doing out here? - Flirty [Anyway, I was looking for you / I was looking for you of course!]
##Paris
I need the room for a little while - Angry [Yeay, yeah, I got it.]
Who are you? - Flirty [Who am I?]
##Braums
Bring me something to drink - Logical [Ah...]
Do I look feminine to you? - Yes [ I do]
I need a distraction - Angry [Okay, stop!]
Nevermind... - Gentle [It doesn't take a genius to know he wants to ask me something]
#Chapter 2
##Rafael
Where is he going? - Gentle [Eh...]
##Paris
We'll just have to share - Flirty [Ooh, looks like I might have some sweet dreams after all!]
##Braums
It's your job to protect me, so... - Logical [It's all right, I have to go, too.]
Should we go right? - No [Uhhhh]
#Chapter 3
##Rafael
What should I say - Funny [I clap for him, letting out a few cheers]
Did I say something funny? - Gentle [I shake my head, unwrapping the necklace and freeing it]
Let's make a play - Flirty [I look over at Rafael, sliding closer to him]
##Paris
What should I say? - Flirty [...You know...I think your scars are hot]
Let's make a play - Funny [Ooh, Paris and I can be the leads! We'll be furious rivals in a race against time!
##Braums
Forget this ever happened - Gentle [There's no way I'm going to just let Braums cry in his room alone.]
Do you...like plays? - Flirty [Why Lord Braums, are you inviting me out?]
Let's make a play - Logical [I'll be the writer and director!]
#Chapter 4
##Rafael
... - Logical [Difficult
Was I incorrect? - Gentle [I-I mean, um...I wasn't...I didn't...]
##Paris
Does the fact that you were paying attention mean you're interested? - Flirty [I make a valiant effort to wipe the look of terror off my face, covering it up with a smirk]
How to proceed... - Logical [Welp, there's bound to be tons of berries and mushrooms around nearby. That'll do!]
##Braums
I should say something to cheer him up - Logical [Look, I would happily vouch for you.]
I don't want to let you all down - Gentle [Braums, you're going to be a great king]
#Chapter 5
##Braums
Then Braums comes to me - Gentle [Despite how queasy this whole thing is making me feel, I'm really glad he's okay. I'm glad we all are.]
Braums is kissing me - Flirty [The complicated thoughts that had been swirling around in my head are immediately gone in favor of thoughts exclusively for the Reaver sharing my blanket.]
##Paris
Paris kissed me - Flirty [No...]
I feel - Logical [You know Paris...I feel like a terrible person, but I keep thinking.]
This looks very helpful! Thanks for typing that all out.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that will be an issue is the emblem thing. I have no idea where that option even is to be honest. Not only that, but if it's in images, it could also be a problem.. Could you tell me roughly the part of the story it's at so I can know to look for it at least? I'm guessing it's in chapter one (or the prologue) but not sure exactly where ...? Maybe that part where it's talking about giving Rafael a nickname? I do think there were some other options there too ...
Other than that, I think I can manage now with this. Most of the text in the game is read out anyway, just sometimes the choices are a bit hard to figure things out for (like when I choose my race, ugh that's difficult with my screen reading software). But thanks for the help and I'll try this out sometime.
I've been playing pokemon a lot lately and am pretty hooked on that. Will get to this though when I can and already saved it to the folder with the game files so can just go grab that and open it when I try the game out again.
And just to clarify, I can't see anything at all on the computer screen to read it. The pictures thing you mentioned for the emblems is helpful (I might ask one of my roommates to help with that bit if all else fails) but for me doing this by myself, it won't really actually help me. That's why I'm glad you used the format you did cause I can just save whenever I figure out there's choice options and then mess with the multiple choice until it gives me the choices I want.
Also, the scenario with the pirates where Rafael takes them all out on the boat (chapter 1 I think, it's been a while) does that have an impact on relationship points depending on how you deal with it? I'm not asking for a specific spoiler, just say if you act more brave, will it give points for one love interest over the other?
Thanks again,

I'm glad it's helpful!
The emblem option is in the very beginning when you're asked to name your guild. Yes, this is the part where it's talking about giving Rafael a nickname.
The pirates scenario, if you're brave I believe you get a couple of points for Braums, but overall it does not impact the relationships.
Thank you for playing The Pretenders Guild!
