OVERVIEW Jealousy Duel X is a sandbox text-and-graphics adventure game. The game can be ended at any time by talking to Ex at her party, granting one of 16 different endings determined by your progress. Note that this is not a full walkthrough. It covers all of the numbers and items, but some secrets and easter eggs remain unspoiled. 2.) PHONE NUMBERS Numbers that affect your total are written in green. Those that don't are written in white. 2.1. MAIN NUMBERS EX'S PARTY #1: Woman with Pixie-Cut (required: Inflatable Woman, Anatomical Knowledge) Use the Inflatable Woman on the crowd to distract the guys surrounding her. The woman with the pixie-cut will then be found in the Dining Room, where you can speak privately. Offer to show her a new hiding place, then show her to the roof and offer her a backrub. If you've observed either the skeletons or your x-ray, you will be able to get her number (and accent) after parting ways. If you've observed both the skeletons and your x-ray, she'll give you her number (and accent) right there. Note that it is possible to get her accent without getting her number, but not the other way around. If you don't yet have any anatomical knowledge, the option to excuse yourself will appear after a few failed backrub attempts. You then have a limited amount of time to increase your anatomical knowledge and return to the roof before she leaves. If you merely leave without saying anything, she will leave as well. BAR #2: Redhead (required: $6, 2 HP) Buy her a glass of liquor, then talk to her while you're slightly scraped. When she asks why you're interested, be honest and tell her you'd like her number. You will be unable to talk to the Redhead if you've already bought a drink for the Blonde. In order to fix this, you'll need to attempt conversation with her, then call the Blonde from a stationary phone (calling her from your cell phone will not work). Once the Blonde is gone, tell the Redhead that the Blonde shot you down to initiate conversation. If you talked to the Blonde first but didn't get her number, you will be unable to talk to the Redhead. #3: Blonde (required: $8, Graduation Photo, 2 or 3 HP) Buy her a glass of wine, then tell her you remember her from high school. Leave and return with the Graduation Photo and show it to her. When the "I gotta run..." text appears under the 'Leave' button, click it, and as you leave, she'll give you her number (provided you're not too bloody), and offer to continue the conversation later. You will be unable to talk to the Blonde if you've already bought a drink for the Redhead. In order to fix this, you'll need to attempt conversation, then call the Redhead from a stationary phone (calling from your cell phone will not work). Once the Redhead is gone, select the "pray for a miracle" option when talking to the Blonde. If you talked to the Redhead first but didn't get her number, you will be unable to talk to the Blonde. COFFEE SHOP #4: Married Woman (required: Phone Book) Get on stage and devote a poem, song, rap, or standup routine to the woman breast-feeding the infant (choosing a debate will do nothing). When drawn into combat with her possessive husband, use the Phone Book on him. If you face him before acquiring the Phone Book, running away or apologizing will keep you from getting hit, but an apology only works once. #5: Barista (required: Accent (equipped)) Say hello. When she comments on your accent, say "Boy Howdy" and she will give you her screen name. Go home and use your computer, and the option to talk to the Barista will now appear. Answer her questions in the following order: 1) Introvert 2) Beer 3) Third Base 4) Agree You need to select two of these answers to get the desired result, but you can take the test over as many times as you want. If you got the Married Woman's number first, the Barista will have seen the whole thing and will not give you her screen name or number. ABANDONED MINE SHAFT #6: Feral Woman (required: Lit-up Valentine, Pretzels) If you go in without the lit-up Valentine, you won't be able to see anything. However, you can still have an encounter if you use the Pretzels. The encounter is randomized--you have a 1 in 3 chance of running into the Feral Woman, the Normal Woman, or a Bear. In the dark, this encounter is nearly identical for all three, and if you throw a rock, it may ruin your chances of meeting that character again. Come back with the lit-up Valentine and you will be able to see which one you're dealing with. If you run into the Bear, run away or try standing still five times in a row. There is no way to get the Normal Woman's number. If you run into the Feral Woman, there are no wrong answers (except throwing a rock, which will get 1 HP knocked off of you each time you do it, or using the Inflatable Woman, which will scare her away), however, you must give her your phone if you want to get a number. Note that this will not cause you to lose any numbers in the process. Be careful not to run away or use the Inflatable Woman on the Feral Woman after giving her all of the Pretzels, or she won't come back. STUDY SESSION #7: Bug-Eyed Girl (required: Stilts, Coffee (Hot)) #8: Headband Girl (required: Stilts, Coffee (Hot)) To unlock the study session, you must first call Friend C and have him invite you over. If you have the accent, you must unequip it or he won't realize who you are. Offer to buy coffee for the group, and you'll get 20 dollars. The regular 'coffee' option at the coffee shop will now be for a larger order, costing $25. Buy it and bring it back to the group without going to too many other places first (otherwise the coffee will get colder, and if it drops below "warm", you'll have to buy more for them). At this point, the study group will take a break and converse, but you won't be able to split the group up. That is, until you select the 'play dead' option. The group will worry that there's a killer in the apartment, and you'll be left alone in the living room while they've split up. Now that they've split up, you can acquire phone numbers from the two girls in the bathroom and balcony respectively. Both numbers require you to have the Stilts and to select the direct "Can I have your number?" option. If you try to study with them while drunk (or play around with the lit-up heart or the phone book), they will get annoyed with you. Annoy them too much and they will kick you out for good, and you won't be able to get the Graduation Photo. If you are playing dead and are out of money, you will be able to get 10 dollars from Friend. If you choose not to speak to anyone and merely wait in the living room for 10 turns, they'll call an ambulance and you'll wind up in the hospital. However, the study session will end and you'll forfeit the two numbers. This trip to the hospital can be done regardless of whether or not you've already had a hospital visit and regardless of your HP. FANCY RESTAURANT #9: Celebrity (required: HP above 1) Use your computer at home and select the 'click sexy banner ads' option. Leave and do something else for a while (move around the map), then check your email and you'll find that you've won. A car will be waiting for you outside. Watching TV prior to this can show you the Celebrity on her sitcom, a hint for answering the first set of options. Select the following options: "Got any hilarious new material for us?" "Since the day I was born"/"A couple years." "A quest for love and adventure." "Yes"/"Sort of?" If your HP is at 1, she will decline; otherwise she will exchange numbers with you. If you steer the conversation off course, ask how much money she makes to get things back on track. A few selections such as "a non-stop thrill ride, baby" will end the date immediately. STREET CORNER #10: Prostitute (required: nothing) I won't bother with this one. PARKING LOT #11: Mugger (required: Lit-up Valentine) There are two ways to do this: Either use the lit-up Valentine on the mugger, or get mugged while the lit-up Valentine is in your possession (make sure your HP are at 3). She will ask if it's for her, say yes. She will then give you her phone number and leave. Don't ask for the Valentine back or she'll get mad and stab you, and if she's already stabbed you once, you won't have the HP to survive. It is possible to retrieve a stolen Wallet or the Valentine. After being mugged, you'll have the option to call the Police. After calling them, move around the map a bit and call them back; they'll tell you they've dropped the Wallet off at your apartment and you can get it upon returning. The downside of this is that the Wallet will be missing 6 dollars, and the Mugger will be gone forever. You can also hit the Mugger with the Phone Book at any time, and you will retrieve both the Wallet and Valentine. However, again, she will never appear again after this, so don't do this unless you've gotten her number. HOSPITAL #12: Pregnant Woman (required: 1 HP) With 1 HP remaining, the "Hospital" phone number will appear on your list. Dial it, and you will be instantly transported there via ambulance. Talk to the woman behind the curtain, and as long as you don't say "Eww, gross", she'll give you her number. 2.2. EXTRA NUMBERS PHONE BOOTH 10 Fake Numbers (required: Feral Woman's number) This area will be unlocked after giving the Feral Woman your cell phone. Search it, and you'll find a Phone Book. Use it in an area where you're alone (Home, Phone Booth, Nail Salon, or Park) and you'll be given a choice: to cheat, or be honest. If you cheat, you will automatically get the "Dishonest" ending no matter how many numbers you have. However, you can sell the fake numbers to the Telemarketer and not get this ending. 3.) INVENTORY 3.1. ITEMS CELL PHONE Start with it. Use it to dial a number from anywhere but inside the Abandoned Mine Shaft (poor reception) or the Celebrity Date (it's rude). CHAI Buy from Coffee Shop ($5). Only available to keep in your inventory when the Performance Artist sends you on a fetch quest for it. FIVE COFFEES Buy from Coffee Shop ($25). Only available to keep in your inventory when the study group sends you on a fetch quest for it. GRADUATION PHOTO After talking to Blonde at the bar, visit the Study Session after getting them coffee. You will be presented with the opportunity to ask Friend if he has a photo. If the study session has ended already, you can still get it by calling Friend C. If you've been kicked out of the study session, however, the photo will be unattainable. INFLATABLE WOMAN Talk to the Bartender for a while and he'll give it to you. PHONE BOOK Found in Phone Booth after giving Feral Woman your Cell Phone. Use as a weapon against the Angry Husband, Telemarketer, and Mugger. You can gain fake numbers by using it in an area where you're alone. PRETZELS "Wait" for a while in the Dining Room at Ex's Party and the opportunity to take Pretzels will present itself. Note that after the Pretzels have been consumed, you can return and get more. VALENTINE (UNLIT) Find it in your bedroom at home. As it is less noticeable in the dark, it will have no effect on the Mugger. VALENTINE (LIT) After finding the Unlit Valentine, talk to the Hooker and she will give you batteries. This will allow you to see inside the Abandoned Mine Shaft. Can be stolen by Mugger. 3.2. EQUIPMENT STILTS Give Chai to Performance Artist. The Performance Artist appears randomly, so if you don't see him, move around on the map for a while until he shows up. Note that he'll accept the Chai even if it's cold. WALLET Start with it. Can be stolen by Mugger and retrieved by using the Phone Book or calling the Police. You can still collect money without a Wallet, though you cannot buy alcohol for yourself at the Bar. 3.3. STATUS ACCENT Talk to Pixie-Cut at Ex's Party and continue through the event to learn it. You don't necessarily have to get her number. This skill can be toggled on and off--you won't be able to call certain people with it on since you may not be understood. ANATOMICAL KNOWLEDGE There are ways to acquire this ability: You can observe the skeletons in the mine shaft or look at your x-ray at the hospital. If you do both, your anatomical knowledge will increase. Having this skill will allow you to give Woman with Pixie-Cut a decent backrub. DRUNK Drink at least six alcoholic beverages (Beer, Wine, Liquor, Punch). In order to get less drunk, take a nap at home. Every five naps will remove the effects of one drink, though sleeping too much is not advisable. HP/BLOODY The "Bloody" status relates to your HP. If you have 3 HP, there will be no change; 2 HP and you will be slightly scarred; 1 HP and you will be very bloody. Having 1 HP will be a hindrance in some cases, as it makes you less attractive. 3.4. PERCENTAGE The game's percentage will inform you of what you haven't found yet. Phone numbers are worth 4%, while certain events and item acquisitions can get you 1-2%. 3% of the game can only be seen after beating the game with 9, 10, 11, or 12 legitimate numbers. If you do achieve 100%, you'll receive a little bonus after the ending. 4.) ENDINGS Again, the game can be ended at any time by talking to Ex. The ending you'll get will correspond to the amount of phone numbers you've collected, with the "9" ending having two different outcomes and the "12" ending being the "true" ending. However, there are three instances which will give you a different ending regardless of how many numbers you have. One of these instances is using the fake numbers, and I've left the other two a secret. That concludes the walkthrough. Enjoy, and thanks for playing!
