01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Flow
The day starts with morning classes and proceeds through a series of school activities. You can approach any character at any time, and the narrative moves forward as you complete tasks and gather dialogue.
When you feel ready, you select a character to ask to the homecoming dance, which ends the day's progression. The structure is linear in time but open in how you allocate your attention.
- Try visiting each hallway early to see which characters are present.
- Balance conversation with class tasks to keep the timeline moving.

Character Interaction
All original Rivals of Aether characters appear as students at Aether High. You can ask them questions and listen to their stories, including the drama surrounding the Ding Dong Tree.
These interactions are purely conversational; there is no combat or hostile mechanic. Your eventual date is chosen based on the information you gather during these talks.
- Listen for details about the Ding Dong Tree to enrich the story.
- Take note of each character’s preferences; they may inform your final choice.

School Activities
Classes require you to attend, answer a pop quiz, and give a book presentation. Each task appears as a simple prompt that advances the day’s timeline when completed.
A separate computer‑lab segment offers a mini‑game, providing a break from dialogue and adding variety to the school routine.
- Complete the pop quiz early to free up time for more conversation later.
- Use the computer‑lab game as a brief reset between dialogues.

Input Options
Interaction can be performed with a mouse or a touch screen, and the description even jokes about using your eyes to look at stuff. No required controller is mentioned.
These options let you choose the method that feels most natural on your device, whether you are on a PC or a touchscreen system.
- If you have a touch screen, try tapping to see if it feels more immediate than clicking.
- Try simply looking around the screen to see how the game responds.
