The game stands out for its high interactivity, with frequent repeated stock dialogues. Players track characters’ friendship and affection levels using a triangular chart, which they can check through Kaname. Instead of playing every day, players choose specific “try-your-best days,” which impact enthusiasm and event frequency.
