4. Multi-Layered Relationships: Choose dialogue options to comfort, challenge, or flirt. Trust affects alliances and unlockable story arcs.  

5. Branching Endings: Protect the diner, expose its ghosts, or embrace the darkness. Your choices determine if Sable survives… or becomes part of the legend.
