 Chulip is an adventure / simulation game in which the player must improve the hero 's reputation in the community of Long Life Town by kissing its various citizens . The player 's health is represented by a number of hearts . To gain more hearts the player has to find and kiss other characters in the game . Finding out how and when to kiss other characters is a puzzle in of itself . The game and each of its non @-@ player characters ( NPCs ) follow a 24 @-@ hour day schedule . In the daytime , many of the NPCs of the game are walking around the streets . To succeed in kissing an NPC , the player is required to wait for the correct time where they will be happy and press the corresponding button . The player must sometimes complete a certain task for that NPC . Choosing the wrong time to kiss will often result in the player getting hit and losing health . Exploring Long Life Town presents the player with numerous environmental hazards discovered by trial and error . For instance , attempting to use the town 's playground equipment or being suddenly shot at by the night @-@ patrolling policeman will cause instant death . One mission ends in the player being struck by lightning , removing more than ten hearts and resulting in a game over if the player does not have sufficient health .
