About This Game

—You don't want your secrets exposed, do you?

Everyone's hiding something.

But some are never meant to see daylight.

Tsunefuji Arisa seems like your average high school girl—sweet, polite, adored by her friends and family. But in the shadows of the internet, she leads another life.

As an "Uraaka Joshi," she posts risqué cosplay photos in secret corners of the internet, chasing likes from faceless followers.

It all starts when someone uncovers her secret—and uses it to seize control over her.

Now, only one question remains... what fate awaits her?

At pivotal moments that determine characters' fates, your clicked choices will lead you down wildly divergent branching paths – ultimately culminating in vastly different endings.

Characters

Tsunefuji Arisa

President of the board game club and a hardcore otaku. Born with silver hair and a socially awkward childhood, she found comfort in anime, games, and galge. Beneath her quiet exterior hides a vast knowledge of ACGN and a deep love for strategy games and adult visual novels.

Suzukawa Ruri

Arisa's online alter ego. With her silver hair, flat chest, and soft features, she's a minor celebrity in niche corners of the internet.

After growing distant from her only real-life friend in high school, Arisa created this new identity to reach out to people—posting bold cosplay photos on a secret account.

She assumed everyone thought the hair was a wig, so she never bothered to hide her face too much... but someone was watching.

Asamatsu Maki

The heiress of a wealthy local family. Maki's privileged upbringing makes her unintentionally blunt, sometimes even overbearing. But to those close to her, her honesty and directness are part of her charm.

She has a soft spot for sweets, which often brings out her surprisingly cute side.

Ozaki Saki

A mischievous member of the board game club and a true little devil. Saki feels a bit self-conscious about her modest background,—especially around someone as highborn as Maki—which often leads to sparks flying between the two.

She has a knack for drawing and a real eye for design.

Kawari Yuka

Energetic, outgoing, and effortlessly sociable, Yuka is a student council executive and one of Arisa's closest friends—perhaps because they walk to and from school together nearly every day.

Though involved in several clubs, she always makes time for the board game club—her true favorite.

Tanchi Otoha

Arisa's childhood friend and former neighbor, from elementary through middle school. To Arisa, she was always the perfect honor student.

After moving away and attending different high schools, they gradually lost touch.

But one day, a message from Arisa appears out of the blue...
