The game is going to count with new scenarios, new music, and will be fully voiced.
There’s several in-game modes:
- Adventure: where you follow the stories of the groups. There are two endings, and if certain conditions are met, it will branch into epilogues (14 types)
- Smartphone trigger: As you progress through the story, you can interact with members on your smartphone.
Depending on your choices, the intimacy will change with those characters and the story will branch out. That is done in-game through a communication app named “JOIN”. Various contents include work-related matters, casual contact, and private consultation. Be careful not to miss the reply timing. - PHONE: You will receive calls from members and staff. It is important to access the game regularly because you may receive many incoming calls about important topics. However, if you miss those, the characters will leave a voice message.
- Special content: Achieving certain things or meeting certain conditions in the game unlocks individual stories for each member. There are “Personal Stories” and “Side Stories” to enjoy

Wait wait. So do we have to buy to play the game on our phones?
Yes, as strange as it is, this is a fully offline game that you will own (thus not subject to being unplayable if it tanks or if MAGES. stops updating it, for example).
It doesn’t surprise me that it is paid – I expected it would be to some extent, after all they went as far as having all voice actors record lines for the entirety of the game – what is weird is selling bundles of “routes” to play.
It can cost around $150/€150 to play all routes which is… well… way too much for a game that isn’t even confirmed to have rhythm game features.
