GAMEPLAY
Throughout the game, you have 6 different interactions with different characters. Within these interactions, you can ask each character various questions. But, each question comes with a potential consequence. There is information you want to uncover, and information you don’t.Pay attention to the [WORLD WARNING] - an ominous flash that lets you know you are getting too close to an unwanted truth. You decide how far you want to push your conversations.

ENDINGS
3 “BAD” ==; There are 3 opportunities to get the Bad Endings. This happens when you push too far towards an unwanted truth.==2 “DARK’ ; There is 1 opportunity to get each of the Dark Endings. These are both from special events in the story.==1 “TRUE” ; ==The True Ending is the linear plot, and can be achieved as long as no unwanted truths are uncovered fully. This ending gives you the full backstory, as well as unlocks the Epilogue scene.==1 “GOOD”; ==The “Good” Ending is a bonus ending, where you cannot press any questions that lead towards an unwanted truth. If you only ask safe questions and do not trigger any Dark Ending events, you will unlock the Good Ending. The Good Ending includes a special epilogue.

unwanted truths
In the game, you ( who plays as Michiru) want to uncover what is bothering Aoi. But there is a much darker truth lurking underneath the surface. If you want the True Ending, it is your job to avoid these unwanted truths until your final encounter.When you are coming upon a discussion that contains an unwanted truth, the **[WORLD WARNING] **will flash, which allows you to decide whether you want to press on or not. Most discussions have multiple levels of choices, and you can back out before you reach the end and trigger a Bad Ending.

content warnings
Although the visuals of this game are cute, his game is recommended for ages 16+, as it deals with themes about death and contains graphic depictions of violence.The Dark Endings, which are easily avoidable, contain graphic depictions of violence, and should not be chosen by sensitive players.
Some characters in the game use derogatory ableist language which some players may find uncomfortable. The game also contains strong language.
In the True Ending there are themes of parental abuse and suicide, but they are not graphic and are mentioned in passing.
Lastly, the game has occasional flashing lights (a singular red flash at about 0.3 seconds long), and is very brightly coloured in some scenes, and some scenes may cause eye strain. It may not be a comfortable playing experience for those with photo light sensitivity. The game also has sudden loud noises which may be upsetting for some players.
