About ChronoClock
Rei Sawatari inherits a pocket watch that lets him rewind exactly five minutes, and he can use it without limit. The brief window forces careful timing, turning everyday school moments into strategic puzzles.
Set in a high‑school rom‑com, Rei repeatedly confesses to girls, rewinds to erase fallout, and becomes entangled in a rooftop incident that reshapes his relationships. The story blends absurd comedy with the consequences of his time‑travel tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Five‑Minute Time Rewind
The pocket watch returns the world to its state exactly five minutes earlier each time it is activated. Because the rewind is unlimited, players can repeatedly retry any segment of play.
The five‑minute limit prevents trivial solutions and makes the moment of activation a key decision. Players must judge when a mistake is worth erasing versus when to press on.
- Watch a scene for a few seconds before rewinding to capture the most useful moment.
- Use the rewind to test different dialogue choices without permanent consequences.

Confession Strategy
Rei keeps a list of cute girls and confesses to gauge interest, then rewinds to erase any fallout. This loop lets him experiment with romance without lasting risk.
Rei confesses to gauge interest and then rewinds to erase any fallout, so outcomes depend on the characters’ reactions and his use of the rewind ability.
- Note which girls respond positively after a rewind and focus future attempts on them.
- Combine confession attempts with other actions to see how outcomes interact.

Rooftop Tragedy and Rescue
In the prologue a girl falls from the school roof, prompting Rei to rewind and investigate. He discovers Suzuki Miu confessing to his best friend at that exact moment.
The scene introduces a three‑way relationship dynamic and shows how the rewind lets Rei see for himself what happened, influencing later choices and character bonds.
- Rewind immediately after a shocking event to capture unseen dialogue.
- Pay attention to character positions on the roof to anticipate critical moments.
