How does it work?
What KIM Is and How to Unlock It
KIM (Kinemantik Instant Messenger) is a 1999-vintage instant messaging service that lets you write to the residents of Höllvania one-to-one or in groups. The Drifter reaches KIM from the Pom-2 computer in the Base of Operations after completing “The Hex”, and gradually meets three separate friend groups: The Hex, The Roundtable and the Devil’s Triad.
UNLOCK REQUIREMENT
Complete the main quest chain "The Hex"
LOCATION
The Pom-2 computer in the Orbiter / Base of Operations
SCOPE
The Hex (6), The Roundtable (4), Devil's Triad (3) + Loid
How the Chemistry System Works
Your relationship with each character is measured by a six-step Chemistry bar running Neutral → Friendly → Liked → Trusted → Close → Best Friends / Loved. The rule that matters most: Chemistry only goes up, never down — a wrong answer costs you nothing, you simply miss that day’s gain.
With Hex members you can earn points three separate ways each day: starting a conversation in KIM, sending a gift from DIRECTGIFTZ (at most 20 points per gift, and you cannot send the same gift twice in a row), and completing a bounty in Höllvania. Roundtable and Devil’s Triad members have no gift or bounty system — progress with them rests entirely on conversation and dialogue choice.
Neutral
First contact; short, guarded messages.
Friendly
The character starts talking about their own interests.
Liked
Personal history and deeper subjects open up.
Trusted
Vulnerable moments, secrets and the possibility of flirting.
Close
With romance candidates the flirting becomes explicit and private scenes come into reach.
Best Friends / Loved
The top tier; Loved unlocks the romantic finale scenes.
Your Hex Rank Gates Chemistry
How much Chemistry you can bank with Hex members is capped directly by your rank in The Hex syndicate. Without ranking up you cannot reach the higher-tier conversations, and every rank-up also triggers an automatic group conversation.
Rank 1 — Leftovers
0 – 22,000 standing. The Neutral tier.
Rank 2 — Fresh Slice
22,000 – 44,000 standing. Unlocks Friendly.
Rank 3 — 2-For-1
44,000 – 70,000 standing. Unlocks Liked (the threshold the finale needs).
Rank 4 — Hot & Fresh
70,000 – 99,000 standing. Unlocks Trusted; the date option appears for Aoi, Amir and Quincy.
Rank 5 — Pizza Party
99,000 – 132,000 standing. Unlocks Close/Loved; the date option appears for Arthur, Lettie and Eleanor.
General Strategy: How to Approach Each Character
You can hold one formal relationship at a time, but the rule works per group: you can be dating someone in The Hex and someone else in the Devil’s Triad simultaneously. Roundtable members (Flare, Minerva, Velimir, Kaya) have no formal romance option — those relationships stay on the friendship track. The Devil’s Triad romance involves no gifts or bounties and rests entirely on picking the right lines, which is why it was billed as a “Dark Gothic Romance”.
Arthur
Respectful and direct; skip the broad jokes.
Aoi
Warm, supportive, sincere answers.
Amir
Eager and curious — join him in his enthusiasms.
Quincy
Confident, joking, quick with a jab.
Lettie
Patient, unpushy answers that give her room.
Eleanor
Careful and honest; she has no time for glib answers.
Birthday Calendar
Set the calendar to that day and a special celebration conversation opens, awarding extra Chemistry. The dates are read from game data.
The game data defines no birthday for the Devil's Triad (Marie, Lyon, Roathe) or for Loid.
Cross-Character Chains
Some conversations start with one person and continue with another — Quincy stepping in to set you up, Amir's hacking chain, the Fables & Frontiers invitation. They are very easy to miss in game.

Where Does the Data Come From?
Every line of dialogue here is extracted from the game’s official localization, Sainan/warframe-kim-dialogues. The Chemistry values, rank thresholds and relationship flags come from the same game data; the route shown for each conversation is the one that awards the most Chemistry.
