I heavily recommend playing the game on your own to experience the story, learn the characters and attempt the romance your favorite characters. Element-174 (in my opinion) is very fun to play and has a good replay value due to the vast amount of characters included.

This guide can be used to romance a specific character and (for the time being) will only focus on one character at a time. I may update this down the road for romancing multiple people in one play through but for now will focus on specific characters.

If you have been playing and want to use your existing file with this guide I wouldn't recommend it. Many options can screw up your whole file and lock certain actions. You can try if you like but if it will work I can't tell you for sure. I always recommend starting a new file.

Game Settings

To make things easier go to the game settings and enable 'walkthrough', this causes an image of the character(s) it affects above the option.


◇ If a character portrait is grey, you will receive a point for that character.
◆ Characters bordered in red are choices required to keep their routes open. If the border is green, the choice is important but you will have another chance to get that scene later (only becomes relevant on week 2).
* Sometimes there are no portraits which usually means your option has no effect on characters points but they can lead to sex or different sex options.

"Ashley, although most people call her 'Ash'. I thought she was a boy at first. She seems to mostly hang out with another guy named Joey in the Ero-Games club. No family that I know about and I don't think she's originally from Branchfield. Something seems a little off about her too."

"She's a pretty big nerd, but you probably know that. Freshman student and I think her dad is some kind of big time science guy or something. She got here all on her own though. Her apple didn't fall far from the tree. She spends a lot of time by herself, but occasionally hooks up with some other geeky folks. Not in a gettin' down sort of way.

She fits in pretty good here and has a few friends, but leading up to this week she's been more and more on edge. Maybe college life is starting to stress her out?
