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”. There are various contents such as 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.

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.
