🧠 CTRL+HEART — Quick How-To-Play:

In CTRL+HEART, you don't pick dialogue options—you control your nervous system, and your body speaks for you!

Each turn (10 rounds total):

1. RTS Phase (20s): Drag 4 emotions onto your 5 organs:
   • 😌 Calm (stabilizes composure & heart rate)
   • 😥 Anxiety (alertness, but risks meltdown)
   • 😎 Confidence (bold & playful banter)
   • 😘 Attraction (deep romantic intimacy)

   • Organs:
     🧠 Brain — Wit
     🗣️ Voice — Speech
     ❤️ Heart — Passion
     🫀 Body — Presence
     🫁 Lungs — Generates oxygen

2. Speech Phase (5s): Your organ balance decides what words you blurt out!
3. Maya's Reaction (5s): Watch her animated reaction and gain Connection points.

⚠️ Don't let Composure hit 0 (instant panic attack meltdown)!
🎯 Goal: Reach Connection Tier 3 or 4 by Round 10 to win a second date!

❤️ let us know your Highest Connection Score after Play!
