Walkthrough and guide included in this version

A mystery to solve

You play as a young man hoping to make a fresh start in college in this male-protagonist dating sim. When a sorority girl goes missing, any hope of a normal semester disappears along with her. Will you be able to solve the mystery of her disappearance before it's too late?

Your choices matter

Choose wisely. There is no right or wrong. There is no one "happy path." From the first chapter to the last, your decisions can have permanent impacts on the story. Many branching story paths—each with its own joys and tragedies—will eventually lead you to one of the multiple endings.

Compelling characters

Ten main love interests represent a variety of body types, personalities, and skin tones, each with their unique stories. Your choices will decide how each relationship progresses, whether passionate encounters or dramatic confrontations. All lewd scenes are optional.​

Transparent gameplay

The mystery is in the story, not the gameplay. You will always know what aspects of the game your choices affect, for optimal replayability. No grinding or repetitive minigames. Every mechanic is designed to move the story forward, not to slow it down.
