About This Demo

----You're the protagonist, but you refuse to play along with any love interest.----

One morning, Tong Ren wakes up to find she's the star of a campus dating sim. Worse, she can now see affection points floating above everyone's heads—clear as day.

As a die-hard anime fangirl——"I just want to ship other people! Don't make me get involved!"

---- But romance routes keep forcing themselves on her!----

  • The overly clingy kouhai—why are his affection points rising faster than his grades?

  • The cold, aloof senpai—his sudden confession seems to hide a deeper secret.

  • A mysterious transfer student—is their arrival coincidence, or destiny?

  • Wait... best friend, why are YOUR affection points acting up too?

ANYWAY——"STAY BACK—!"

---- Your choices write the story----

This isn't just a dating sim—it's a battle for "the right to choose".

  •  10 unique endings: From laugh-out-loud comedy to heartwarming friendship, from suspenseful mystery to genuine romance—every decision branches into a distinct narrative.

  •  Includes both BG and GL routes: Naturally develop relationships with male or female characters, exploring diverse emotional connections.

  •  A snarky, self-aware protagonist: Experience every trope through Tong Ren's fujoshi inner monologue—she sees all the clichés coming, and she's not afraid to mock them.

  •  Real-time affection meter: See exactly how your choices impact each character's feelings. Will you resist the system, or let yourself be pulled along?

----Story Highlights----

  • Light fantasy, modern campus setting: Everyday life with a twist of the supernatural—and secrets lurking beneath the surface.

  • Complete short-story experience: Perfect length for a single satisfying playthrough.

  • Replayable for all endings: Piece together hidden character backstories across multiple routes.
