The confirmed launch cast centers on Hheily and the player’s apartment, with route characters revealed through calls, letters and door events. Verified names include Flora, Scam Likely, Midori, Mina, Monami, Maria, Muu, the Backwards Man and the Sentient Darkness.
Use the cast table to identify a character, then open the relevant romance route. For the overall game and other puzzle help, return to the Crush Landing wiki and guide.
Main and route characters
| Character | Verified role or route signal |
|---|---|
| Hheily | Sentient shapeshifting comet; central love interest and flame mechanic. |
| Flora | Flower visitor; Steam achievement asks the player to help her bloom. |
| Scam Likely | Door visitor associated with double negatives and Cunning Linguist. |
| Midori | Unlocked through an odd cut-out-letter message, then a phone/door event. |
| Mina | Appears in the high-Darkness route; One and All asks the player to help her. |
| Monami | Has a hidden-description relationship achievement. |
| Maria | Opening client/date with a later relationship achievement. |
| Muu | Phone contact who can supply a missing color item. |
| Sentient Darkness | Encounterable and romanceable according to two Steam achievements. |
How do you meet Midori?
Read the fan letters on the table until you find the unusual message made from cut-out letters. That enables a phone call from Midori and later allows her to appear at the apartment. Launch-week players report duplicated or out-of-order Midori events, so save before the letter and treat odd repetitions as possible bugs.
How do you start Maria’s route?
The public Steam achievement describes starting to date Maria. The source-labelled Maria guide separates invitation dialogue from the later dating and door decisions. Launch Week Patch 1 fixes an appearance bug and improves visitor priority; it does not publish a complete dialogue script or a guaranteed arrival time.
Which names are descriptive visitors?
The Backwards Man and divorced couple are identified through achievement descriptions rather than full biographies. They are useful route events: helping them is tied to Turn Your Life Around and Til Death Do Us Part, and community reports say rescued visitors return colored items in later phases.
Frequently asked questions
Is the protagonist Darling from First Date?
The launch materials do not formally confirm that identity on the store page; community theories should not be treated as canon.
Can you date Maria?
Yes. Steam has a “Maria and Me” achievement for starting to date her.
Are all characters guaranteed in one run?
No. Letters, door visitors, Darkness progress and route conflicts make several appearances random or mutually exclusive.
