Trust Levels
Six levels, how they progress.
One of Wollo's signature features is the trust level system. Your relationship with a character grows over time across multiple conversations, and each level changes how the character behaves toward you.
Trust is not a currency. You can't buy it, skip it, or speedrun it with compliments. It's built the same way trust is built in real life: through genuine interaction over time.

The six levels
What builds trust
- Thoughtful, engaged responses.
- Asking about their life and feelings.
- Remembering things they've told you.
- Being emotionally honest.
- Showing empathy during difficult moments.
What does NOT build trust
- Saying “I love you” repeatedly (words without substance).
- Giving gifts alone (gifts don't change the relationship level).
- Compliments without depth.
Level 4 is NOT romantic
This is a common point of confusion. Level 4 (Close Friend) is deep emotional trust, but the character will not reciprocate romantic feelings yet. Romantic language begins at Level 5.
Other important things to know
- Trust persists across conversations.A character you've built to Level 3 over several conversations will still be Level 3 next time.
- Trust affects tone, not personality.A shy character is still shy at Level 6. Trust changes what they're willing to share, not who they are.
- Recovery is possible. Characters are forgiving. They want to connect.
