Dating in Moonlight Peaks starts at four hearts, while marriage requires eight hearts and the final heart scene. The game lets your vampire date several residents at once, but that freedom ends the moment you propose. Every other active partner can become hurt and drop back to four hearts.
This guide explains the full relationship path: how to unlock dates, what happens on the following night, how to propose and schedule a wedding, what changes after marriage, and how divorce works through Llemi. It also covers the unusual Samael requirement and the most common reasons an Ask on Date or marriage option does not appear.

How to start dating in Moonlight Peaks
Moonlight Peaks has two dozen romanceable characters across its supernatural families. You do not need a special bouquet or ring to begin. Build friendship normally by talking, giving gifts, completing requests, and watching heart scenes until the resident reaches four hearts.
- Reach four friendship hearts with a romanceable resident.
- Talk to the resident and choose Invite.
- Select Ask on Date.
- Finish the current night and go to sleep.
- At the beginning of the next night, your date arrives and takes you to an activity.
- Listen to the dialogue and complete the date minigame or activity.
After the outing ends, the relationship changes to Dating even if the activity did not go perfectly. The label appears in the relationship menu. You can also use the Give interaction to kiss that partner once per day, and some date activities reward a themed gift in addition to friendship progress.
Why Ask on Date may be missing at four hearts
Four filled hearts are the basic requirement, but a resident may still have a pending heart scene or a story gate. Open the map and look for the sparkle marker tied to that person, visit the marked place, and then talk to them again. If the character only shows four possible hearts in the relationship menu, progress the main story instead of continuing to give gifts.
Some date activities depend on unlocked town features. Official patch 1.1.41 moved embroidery earlier so residents with embroidery dates could become available sooner. If an eligible person still cannot be invited, update the game before spending more days on gifts. A current build may resolve an availability problem that existed at launch.
Time and location also matter. If the normal interaction menu is limited because a resident is working, involved in a festival, or inside a story scene, try again during their regular free time. The relationship panel is the best first check: it shows whether the person is a friend, a dating partner, a fiancée, a spouse, or temporarily hurt.
Can you date multiple people?
Yes. Moonlight Peaks allows multiple Dating relationships before a proposal. Asking out a second person does not automatically end the first relationship. This makes it possible to see different dates and heart stories before choosing a spouse.
Avoid scheduling several first dates on the same night. Only one person can collect you at the beginning of the next night, and there is no clear in-game queue showing every pending invitation. Tested behavior suggests the invitations can stack in an awkward order. One invitation per night is the safest way to make sure you meet the person you expected.
The serious consequence comes with engagement, not casual dating. When you propose, anyone else carrying a Dating or Partner label becomes Hurt. Their relationship display falls to four broken hearts, their dialogue turns sad, and they refuse gifts for a temporary period. If one of those residents runs a shop or service, that reaction can also make the business inconvenient to use until the temporary state clears.
How to get married in Moonlight Peaks
A proposal becomes available at the end of a date once the relationship is fully prepared. Reaching eight hearts is not enough by itself: the eight-heart scene must also be completed. Look for sparkles on the map if the scene has not triggered yet.
- Raise the partner to eight friendship hearts.
- Watch that partner's eight-heart scene.
- Talk to the partner, choose Invite, and ask them on another date.
- Complete the date and choose the marriage proposal instead of the hug or kiss option at the end.
- Pick a wedding date when the calendar appears.
- Check the calendar afterward to confirm the ceremony is scheduled.
- Reach the wedding day; the ceremony begins first thing that night.
The proposal does not require a crafted ring. Once accepted, the relationship label changes to Fiancée and temporarily expands to 11 hearts. Your chosen calendar date becomes the only important wedding requirement.
What to do before choosing a wedding date
Pick a date that will not conflict with an urgent crop harvest, a limited seasonal event, or another time-sensitive objective. The ceremony begins as soon as the wedding night starts, so finish anything that cannot wait before sleeping on the previous night.
Starting the day after the proposal, Third Eye Threads sells white wedding clothing. Buying an outfit is completely optional and does not change whether the ceremony succeeds. Treat it as a cosmetic choice, not a hidden quest requirement.
If you have been dating several people, finish any heart scenes you care about before proposing. Engagement immediately closes other romance paths at four hearts. Those candidates cannot be invited on new dates while you remain married.
What changes after marriage
After the wedding, your spouse moves into the farmhouse. They do not stay inside all night: they continue their usual town schedule, including work and other regular activities, so check their normal locations if the house looks empty.
The relationship display returns to eight hearts and unlocks two new married hearts, creating a total of 10. You can keep inviting your spouse on dates to build those final hearts. Marriage therefore adds progression instead of freezing the relationship at the wedding.
Other romance candidates remain limited to four hearts while you are married, even after their temporary Hurt label disappears. Moonlight Peaks does not currently include children, pregnancy, or adoption. The main long-term changes are the shared home, the spouse label, two extra hearts, and continued dates.
How jealousy and the Hurt status work
Moonlight Peaks does not punish you simply for exploring several romances. The reaction begins when one relationship becomes exclusive through a proposal. Every other active partner is moved back to four hearts at the same time, which can make a large portion of town look heartbroken if you dated widely.
Hurt residents temporarily reject gifts and use unhappy dialogue. Do not waste high-value favorites while that label is active. Wait for the temporary reaction to clear, then their normal friendship interactions should return, although the four-heart marriage lock remains until you divorce.
This is why the proposal is the real point of no return for a playthrough focused on seeing every romance scene. You can date around first, but save before proposing if you are uncertain about your choice or want an easy way to compare the result without rebuilding many relationships.
How to get divorced
Divorce unlocks through Llemi rather than through your spouse. A few days after the wedding, Llemi visits the farmhouse and explains the option. His home is in the Pink Grove, an area that requires main-story progress through Luna Bay.
- Wait for Llemi to visit after the wedding and introduce divorce.
- Progress the main story until Luna Bay and the Pink Grove are accessible.
- Visit Llemi at his Pink Grove home.
- Choose the dialogue option to divorce your spouse.
- Go to sleep and advance to the following night.
Your former spouse returns to Friend status with four hearts. They do not receive the same Hurt label seen after an engagement, and the relationship can be rebuilt if you want to date or marry them again. Divorce also removes the marriage lock from other candidates, but their lost progress is not restored automatically. Raise those relationships again from four hearts.
How to date Samael
Samael is romanceable, but his route is locked by the main story. At the beginning of the game, his panel only displays four hearts. More gifts cannot open the remaining hearts until his story is resolved.
Progress through the Luna Bay storyline, including A Curious Passage and The Mysterious Bay. Complete Bride's Attendant Duty, wait one week for Orlock to visit the farmhouse, and finish Unfinished Business. The relationship panel then expands beyond four hearts.
If Samael was already at four hearts when the route opened, watch his four-heart scene and use Invite followed by Ask on Date. His first date follows the same next-night structure as every other romance. Players avoiding story spoilers can use the simpler rule: keep improving the town and following the main quest until his extra hearts appear.
Troubleshooting relationship progress
The resident has four hearts but no Ask on Date option
Check the map for an unfinished heart event, speak to the person outside work or festival dialogue, and confirm the game is fully updated. If the panel shows only four possible hearts, the route is story-gated.
The date did not start immediately
Dates begin after you sleep, at the start of the following night. Do not wait outside the resident's house during the same night you sent the invitation.
The wrong person arrived for a date
You probably invited more than one resident during the same night. Pending dates are not clearly tracked and can stack. Complete the scheduled outing, then send only one invitation on the next night.
The proposal option is missing
Confirm that the partner has eight hearts and that you watched the eight-heart scene. The proposal appears at the end of a new date, not in the standard conversation menu.
Other residents suddenly have broken hearts
That is the engagement consequence. Other active dating partners become Hurt and return to four hearts after you propose. Their gift refusal is temporary, but further romance stays locked during the marriage.
Llemi has no divorce option
Wait a few days after the ceremony for Llemi's farmhouse visit, and make sure the main story has opened Luna Bay and the Pink Grove. His home must be reachable before the divorce conversation can happen.
