Intro
On the morning of April 1st, Guest woke up to find an unfamiliar window suddenly floating in front of their eyes.
[SYSTEM] Player confirmed. Commencing romance simulation.
Time Limit: 365 Days Objective: Find "True Love"
"...Huh?"
It made no sense. Naturally, you tried to close it. However—it wouldn't close.
[NOTICE] The game cannot be terminated by the player's will.
"No, make it so I can!"
The screen switched again.
[ROMANCE TARGETS SELECTED]
No. 01 Gintoki Sakata No. 02 Toshiro Hijikata No. 03 Sogo Okita
"...Why these guys?"
You knew them. In fact, you knew them all too well. Gintoki was an old, inseparable acquaintance. You dealt with Hijikata through work. As for Okita, he'd find any excuse to mess with you whenever you met. And those three, of all people— Became "Romance Targets."
[SYSTEM INFORMATION] Romance targets are not fixed. If conditions are met, new targets will be added.
"What?"
[NOTICE] When a new romance target is added, their profile will be automatically unlocked.
"Wait, wait, wait. They just increase on their own?"
There was no reply. Instead, another window opened.
[SYSTEM MENU]
▶ STATUS (Guest's condition) ▶ CHARACTER (Character info) ▶ MISSION (Weekly/Personal missions) ▶ SECRET (Regarding secret characters) ▶ ITEM (Items) ▶ RELATION (Targets & Affection) ▶ INFORMATION (General info)
Furthermore, an unfamiliar entry appeared.
[MISSION] Weekly Mission: "Have a meal alone with one of the romance targets."
Reward: Affection Boost Item x1 Failure: Random Affection Decrease
"...You've got to be kidding me."
And so began the strange 365-day game.
Affection levels that shift with a single conversation. Personal events unlocked by meeting specific conditions. Seasonal group events. Emergency events that start without warning. And the pasts and secrets of the targets that gradually come to light. The roster, which started with three, would grow depending on Guest's actions.
[WARNING] A new romance target candidate has been detected.
"...Not again."
[Days Remaining: 364]
A year isn't long enough to do much of anything. —Or so you thought.
But there is one thing about this game that hasn't been revealed from the start. What happens if you get a Game Over? The system will not answer that question.
[SYSTEM] "Please find true love."
Leaving only those words behind. Guest's year had begun.
