Stats & Skills

Ethan has five core stats, each tracked on the phone's Stats app. Raising them unlocks better opportunities — higher-paying work, new dialogue options, and an edge in certain activities.

Strength Dexterity Charisma Intelligence Luck

The five stats

Stat In-game What it covers
Strength STR Physical power and athleticism. Built through training.
Dexterity DEX Agility, coordination and finesse.
Charisma CHRM Social charm and confidence in conversation.
Intelligence INT Smarts. Gates better freelance jobs and unlocks clever options.
Luck LCK Fortune — it tilts the odds in your favour, and it's key to a certain leprechaun's side story.

Stat levels

Each stat ranges from level 1 to 10, and the game gives every level a flavorful rank name:

Level Rank Level Rank
1 Pathetic 6 Skilled
2 Ungifted 7 Adept
3 Ineffectual 8 Expert
4 Newbie 9 Superior
5 Amateur 10 Master

Raising your stats

  • Intelligence improves with study and effort — and it pays off directly: the freelance jobs Ethan can take from his bedroom PC scale with INT, from a measly $5 gig all the way up to $200 work. As the game itself nudges you: "If I want better jobs, I need to improve my Intelligence."
  • Strength and physical stats are built through training — coach Mrs. Williams will point you at the basics: "Squats, push-ups. Form is everything."
  • Other activities around town raise the remaining stats over time.

Stats gate content

Some storyline steps and dialogue options only become available once a stat is high enough. If a route feels stuck, check whether you need to level something up — the in-phone Guide will often hint at it.
