Probably the best free-to-play Otome game to ever exist. Originally existing of 4 males and 1 female, you get 5 routes to choose from (later 2 more males), where it is divided again in normal mode (Zen, the model, Yoosung the gamer university student and Jaehee, the assistent of Jumin) and deep mode (Said Jumin, the CEO of a big company and 707 aka Luciel, a hacker, a meme, my husband). As mentioned, later the game would also have a DLC for 2 more characters named V (a blind photographer) and Saeran/Ray (uhm.. i kinda can't tell you about him tho hahah, thats a bit too deep into the story already)

The plot starts with a random person messaging you on a phone that was found. They urge you go to a certain adress to leave a message about said phone there. After we enter the appartment they told us to go to, the chat switches into a groupchat with the priorly mentioned 5 people present. After a bit of misstrust and back and forth, they get you to join their group called RFA. They tell you, they used to throw a party once a yearm but the person who used to organize this party passed away. But now you are here and its only 11 days away.. surely you can manage to arrange everything until then, right??

The game will give you chatlogs based on your irl time and after 4 days it will decide on a route based on who you talked to the most/who clicked with you the most. Depending on who you will get, the story will drastically differenciate. Not gonna tell you too much but i can say this much. From the original 5 routes, the route of 707 is the "true" route and the DLC routes will only make sense to you when you played his route sucessfully.

Played the route sucessfully? Correct, because over the course of day 5 to 10, you can have 3 different bad endings should you pick the wrong answers. Although this game is really cheerful at first, especially 707, those bad endings can even end in kidnapping or death, depending on the route you're playing.

All in all, it was really revolutionary when it released and i love all the characters very dearly, although i did not enjoy how they did the routes of the DLC characters, because in my opinion they deserved better than this.
