FAQ/Walkthrough
By Genome X
FINAL VERSION
Before anything, I would just like to greet my friends. Though they
probably won't believe I'm writing FAQs like this one I would like to
greet them just in case they stumble onto this little doc. Greetings
to Alvin Austria, Wresjon Madronio, Ryan De la Paz, Donie Tuyor,
Jay-ar Seculles, Darwin Cannonicato, Melvin Punzalan, Noriel
Punzalan, Michael Marquez, and Michael Fontanilla.
Oh, and sorry guys, my mind is not in it's best form when I wrote
this walkthrough. I have lost motivation, and I think this FAQ of
mine is one of the more "no good" ones. And there is still a lot of
room for improvement. Hopefully, when I pick up some motivation, I
may encourage myself to make this FAQ a better one to read...
But don't let the above statements dicourage you for reading my FAQ!
:P
"Racers, ready your horses!"

Section III: VERSION HISTORY
_____________________________________________________________________
Version 1.0 - I worked on this version for several days, from April
15-17, 2003. I went through the whole game and finished
all the sections, I am not expecting another revision/
release. I hope you guys like my FAQ!
Version 1.2 (FINAL) - I worked on this version for 1 day only, April
18, 2003. Removed a section that deals about my
FAQs. It's pretty useless anyway. Added the
"characters" section, to compensate for the
loss. I also fixed some spelling and grammar
mistakes, and made some revisions to the
walkthrough. This is the FINAL version, no more
releases.
Version 1.3 (FINAL) - After a long while, I suddenly realized how bad
and messy this FAQ/Walkthrough looked... I
needed to make an update to improve my work.
fixed the formatting, removed some pretty
useless sections, changed the LEGAL and CONTACT
INFORMATION sections for the better, Fixed the
TABLE OF CONTENTS, fixed the WALKTHROUGH and
TUTORIALS sections a bit. I think the FAQ has
changed for the better.
Version 1.4 (FINAL) - I needed to make an update. I remove the GAME
INFO section and put the Haruka Ending in the
Endings part of the walkthrough. I replaced the
ugly ASCII art with a new, much cleaner looking
one. That's about all, really.
Version 1.5 (FINAL) - Aaaargh! I was forced to make an update again!
Sorry, CJayC... Anyway, this time, I deleted
a duplicate part of the walkthrough which tells
how to get the Haruka ending. I fixed some
typos, done some small things here, there,
here, there. I know there's more room for
improvement, but I lost my motivation recently.
Maybe I'll make an update again when I have the
motivation...

Screens
=======
-=-=-=REGULAR SCREEN=-=-=-
Now, you don't see the regular screen that often. This screen is
where your character can move around and interact to the other
characters. The regular screen is free of menus, as the menus only
appear on the sub-screen. (more on that later)
-=-=-=SUB-SCREEN=-=-=-
The sub-screen is where most of the action happens. If you are
talking to any character, You are in the sub-screen. Most of the
story is seen here too. Under certain situations, The menus or
options appear in the subscreen. (more on that later)
==============
Game Mechanics
==============
-=-=-=OPTIONS/MENUS=-=-=-
All of these appear in the sub-screen. On certain cases, you will be
asked to choose from some options. These represent your character's
actions, some better than others. These options influence the
storyline a great deal. Choose a good option, and a girl's affection
rate might go up, Your HP might recover, your MAX HP may increase,
and you may get good results. Choose a bad option, and a girl's
affection rate might go down, You might get get hurt and lose some
HP, your max HP may go down, and the game may end sooner than you
think. So think twice when making desicions, BUT!! always remeber
that everytime you are asked to choose an option, a timer is
activated. The timer's speed differs. In one part of the game, The
timer only lasts for 2-3 Seconds! If the time goes up before you have
chosen an option then the last option (phrase of that option) that is
highlighted will be considered as the one that you choose, wether you
like it or not.
-=-=-=HP=-=-=-
At the beginning of the game, You will notice several golden orbs
at the lower right side of the screen. An orb represents one Hit
point. If you get hurt by any means, One or more of the orbs may turn
to black, indicating that you lost some HP. If you lose all your HP
then you lose the game. You can recover your HP each time you take a
rest or take a bath. Recovery rates differ, and you cannot recover
more HP than your max HP. Example. Your Max HP is 5, and the
recovery rate is 6 HP. Even if the recovery rate is 6 HP, you cannot
gain more than 5 HP, because 5 HP is your Max HP. In some
occasions, your MAX HP may increase if you choose the right options.
-=-=-=AFFECTION RATES=-=-=-
These represent how much a girl likes you. The affection rate bar
can be found on the left side of the screen, and is activated when
you talk to a girl. The affection rate is in the form of hearts. 1
Affection point is represented as 1 heart, and well, you know the
rest.
