Party members can each be recruited under specific circumstances. The player can have up to four party members at one time. Party members each have health, mind and hunger bars which need to be managed using the appropriate consumables.
Important: If your party is full when you meet a character during their recruitment opportunity, it could permanently lock you out of recruiting them. Party members can be dropped off at either the train or PRHVL Bop. You may have to enter the buildings multiple times in order for them to leave.
Unrecruited contestant party members will succumb to the moonscorch at specific dates and locations, turning them into hostile enemies. Note that all contestant party members will moonscorch on Day 3 Night, regardless of recruitment status.
