About VARLET
VARLET is a school‑life RPG that follows a newly transferred student at Kousei Academy, where whispered rumors hint at a hidden realm called the Glitch. The protagonist discovers that some classmates have become monsters and must join friends to protect the school.
The game mixes daily school interactions with a Timeline Command battle system, letting you act as a supportive Leader or an aggressive Ruler. Choices shape six “Triad” personality stats, which unlock dialogue routes and boost passive combat abilities.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Setting
The narrative centers on Kousei Academy, a school shrouded in rumors. After the protagonist transfers in, a dream‑induced encounter grants the power to start a revolution against the invading Glitch.
The Glitch is an alternate realm inside the academy where strange creatures replace students. Exploring this world reveals the threat and drives the fight to stop the academy’s destruction.
- Notice how each rumor’s wording foreshadows later Glitch encounters.
- Compare the visual contrast between the school’s normal corridors and Glitch‑tainted areas for thematic clues.

Characters and Student Support Services
Players control the Hero, voiced by Shohei Komatsu, who becomes the focal point after meeting a strange individual in a dream. Playable members of the Student Support Services (SSS) join the Hero in both school life and combat.
Spending time with SSS members after school deepens bonds, but becoming intimate with multiple people may cause narrative complications, influencing later events.
- Track which SSS members you spend time with to anticipate future dialogue options.
- Observe how deeper relationships affect the allies’ combat support abilities.

Gameplay Systems
The game offers two main activities: helping other students as an SSS member during school hours, then socializing after classes. These interactions build bonds that affect later gameplay.
Combat uses a Timeline Command system where you can act as a “Leader” supporting allies or a “Ruler” delivering powerful skills. Switching roles is encouraged to adapt to each encounter.
- Experiment with Leader and Ruler roles in the same battle to see which fits your party.
- Balance support actions with offensive skills to keep the timeline flowing smoothly.

Triad Personality Stats
Choices affect six stats grouped into Light Triad (Morality, Sympathy, Altruism) and Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, Narcissism). These values shift based on analyses you receive and decisions you make.
Higher Triad values unlock additional dialogue options and increase the power of passive battle skills, directly linking personal growth to gameplay impact.
- Log stat changes after key decisions to predict new dialogue branches.
- Compare Light and Dark growth to see how each influences passive skill potency.
