Damn i don't know how to play this game effectivelly. Even after the tutorial i am completly lost.
A super simplified version: Game can be split into 2 parts
Part 1 - starting relationships
Band choice is needed to pursue Kelly and gives you extra conversation tries....I think?
Study choice is needed to pursue Amy and gives you extra conversation tries.
Little of both is needed to pursue Julie
Choices with * are special so if you see Band *, it'll give you extra point in Band.
When talking to the girls you get 6 options, each color coded.
Small Talk/Green, is used to lower Guilt, and build green cards to use Finesse on. It's also the safe choice.
Low Guilt is good, aim for it.
Mutual Interest/Blue, is used to raise Like and build blue cards to use Sympathy on. Builds Guilt and raises Sus.
High Sus is bad, aim for it to be low or in negatives.
Passionate Discussion (aka flirt)/Red, is used to raise Lust and build red cards to use Passion on. Builds Guilt and raises Sus.
Finesse, Sympathy and Passion are like bombs that greatly raises or lowers in one case their respective COLOR CODED stats.
Be careful of awareness, this means how many eyes are on/around you. This raises Sus by a lot if you do something...sus.
To lower Sus, choose Stella (your girlfriend) and use Blue or Red options on her. More awareness the better. Ain't Sussy if it's with your girlfriend.
Some randomness in which 3 options appear (Band, Study, One of the girls) so pray to RNGoddess.
Build up cards after use, they are sometimes used to see extra scenes.
Part 2 - Dating
This part is far more straight forward.
Go on dates, don't try to sex when chance of getting caught is high, don't try to date outside of Stella when chance of getting caught is high.
Dates with an * have an extra scene or two on them and should be aimed for if trying to complete gallery.
The type of date, and girl are random. When choosing sex, the scenes that play are random.
If you fail to get what you want the one time, play ascension mode and try again. It gets easier and easier every time.
