Affection you can literally see
You choose answers, affection rises, and the sprite on screen gains resolution. That loop is the whole hook for visual novel readers: a block becomes a rough figure, then a clearer girl, then her finished portrait. The game is short, around 20 to 30 minutes a run, with color hints that keep the four main routes simple to follow. The other routes ask for stranger play, like keeping everyone at low affection or picking the options the girls hate. Watching the same scenes change as the art sharpens keeps repeat runs fresh.
How does it play?
How does the curse actually work in play?
Every girl starts as a single blocky square. Pick choices she likes and her affection rises, which raises her resolution step by step until you see her real design. Pick badly and she stays chunky, which is part of the joke: you are romancing someone whose face you are still guessing at.
How long is it, and how many endings are there?
One run takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and a full clear takes two to three hours. There are eight routes in total: four heroine endings plus extra lines including the best friend Nakamura, a demon contract route, and two harder hidden routes. Collecting every portrait unlocks one last little extra.
Is it hard to get the endings you want?
No, the difficulty is low and the main four routes give color hints that point to the right answers. The hidden routes are the tricky part because they ask you to hold affection down, avoid a third-stage portrait, or take a specific walk home and shopping trip. Expect a few retries if you chase every ending.
