As the game starts, players are introduced to their character through a narrative sequence that allows the selection of their character and love interest. The players relationship with their love interest can be both straight or gay, depending on their choice. From there, the game begins its narrative, told through text windows supported by character portraits. Players make choices in dialogue and in action to alter the course of the story and change the fate of their protagonist.
