About

You play as Saya, a girl with emerging powers who transfers to a specialized academy after losing control of her abilities.

Your decisions shape relationships and outcomes, with branching paths influenced by interactions with club members like the Silver Club’s Yashiro, Kurou, and Neko. The game stands out for its ties to the popular K anime/manga universe while adding its own spin. With seven clubs and multiple romanceable routes, it offers 20+ endings according to fan forums.

The original soundtrack and voice acting earn praise on community sites, though pacing issues in the second act are commonly noted.

Guided around the academy by her kind classmate, Yukizome Kukuri, Saya's excitement of her new school life was cut short thanks to getting stuck in the middle of a dispute between two clubs. The clubs that were quarreling with one another were two of seven special clubs. The Red Club, commonly named "HOMRA", and the Blue Club, commonly referred to as "SCEPTER 4". Zeroed in from even the most unexpected places by the leaders of various clubs, Saya gets rescued by three members belonging in one of the seven special clubs- the Silver Club. The three were club leader Isana Yashiro, along with Yatogami Kurou and Neko. Surrounded by many individualistic characters, the curtains of Saya's new school life are raised.
