[edit] Basic Help

To advance through the game, left-click or press the space or enter keys. When at a menu, left-click to make a choice, or use the arrow keys to select a choice and enter to activate it.

On the left of the screen there's the status panel: on top you see the current date and part of the day. Each day is split in 7 parts: dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, sunset, night. In the game, each part represents one game turn. Amy will automatically get back home of every day at night to sleep.

Below you can see the four main statistics: Culture, Creativity, Romance and Discipline. You can raise those statistics during the game by performing certain activities in some places of the game. For example, visiting the library to read books increases your Culture.

Below the stats there's a chibi representing the current mood of Amy.

Lastly, the Morale and Energy values are very important since they affect your work performance and influence the availability of some actions in the game. You can raise those values in several places inside the game, and every night when you sleep.

Map system

With it you can travel to several locations.
Once you arrive in a location, you'll be able to choose several actions to perform. Those actions vary place by place and based on the time of the day. For example in the gym you can do exercise, and swim during the day, or get a drink in the evening, and so on.
Sometimes you'll encounter someone, and a cutscene will play with a dialog choice. Picking the right dialog choices will increase your relationship status with one of the four dateable characters.


Winning the game:
The game has eight different romance endings and one 'solo' ending.
There are four dateable characters in the game: Aaron, Lawrence, Eddy and Hugh. Each of them has two different endings: a normal ending and a special ending.
To get the normal ending you need to maximize the relationship value with that character picking the right dialog choices. To get the special ending instead you need to maximize the relationship value and a specific character related statistic: Culture for Lawrence, Creativity for Hugh, Discipline for Eddy and Romance for Aaron.

Good luck and have fun playing the game!
