Players assume the role of Lin Yu, a first-year high school student living alone. His parents work away from hometown, and he supports himself by working part-time as a tutor. One day, he gets locked out after forgetting his keys, and is offered a place to stay for the night by his mysterious new female neighbor. The next day, he hurries to school and accidentally runs into a girl. After apologizing and telling her his class, he is surprised to find she is exactly the neighbor — Li Wangyue, a newly transferred senior high school upperclassman. Li Wangyue is a natural airhead. She appears gentle and mild-mannered, yet often acts in unexpected ways. Through daily interactions like dropping by each other’s homes and chance encounters at school, your dialogue choices will shape the plot direction and character affection points, unlocking multiple branching endings including Same Course Selection Ending, Café Ending, Phone Call Ending, Cinema Ending and The Cabinet Moved Ending. Presented in first-person perspective with inner monologues, the game features an emotion system and free-roaming exploration of daily life scenarios, portraying the emotional shifts and growth of young boys and girls in their adolescence.
