Prologue
Hello. This is my first guide. I will share my experience of this game, along with some might-be-useful tricks that I got.
Story
You are sent to a black site in a desert after undergone a secret theraphy which gives you a lot of money in return. There you meet Cornelia, the General. She introduces you to people in the base.

Suddenly, there is a red alert. The other soldiers are fighting aliens. All of them are mentally injured. All of them except for you, somehow. Given the power to stand up against hostiles, you are assigned to battle against those aliens.

What are those aliens's motive? Why are you the only one who isn't affected by them?
Characters
Main Character
Yeah. This is pretty much you. You can even name him at the beginning of a new game. He is the first lieutenant under Cornelia's lead.

Just like most visual novel protagonists, his eyes are covered with his bang.

Because of his semi-superhuman ability, He is defected for some reason. Well, maybe we will know the reason if we get a certain ending(yes we will!).

He got his semi-superhuman ability from Eve's DNA.

Eve
A mysterious girl. She is a quite type who seems to lack of common sense. Despite this, she is known as the best sniper the world ever has. Claiming to be able to perfectly aim at a target which is 25 km away. Giving her the position of 2nd lieutenant.

She has short white hair with crimson red eyes. And an ahoge too...

"She looks like a visual novel character" -Protagonist

In Eve's ending, it is turned out that she is an alien-made humanoid. Knowing this, Cornelia uses her against the aliens instead. Eve seems to know nothing about her origin.
She is referred as 'The first child' while the protagonist is referred as 'The second child'.


Cornelia DeAyana
Your boss. Actually, everyone's. A young general with a strict personality. Discipline and charismatic, you will find she quarrels with Jennifer for their reversed personality. But she actually cares all his subordinates.

Due to her authority, she has control over the SPEARFALL weapon.

She wears a white bandana over her lavender long hair.

Cecile Chevalier
She is the sergeant engineer. A bright girl who loves sweet foods. She is always arguing with Jennifer over things. Truly an expert in mechanics. She invented a mecha like robot and designed water guns to real weapons.

She has long blonde hair and blue eyes. She also speaks in thick French accent.

Her parents were killed in a terrorist attack when she was a child. Due to this, she invented weapons to make the world safe. She also the one who invented SPEARFALL which Cornelia uses.

Jennifer Crawford
The air force helicopter pilot. Rather tomboyish and emotional. She always risks herself for the sake of protecting others. Due to her reckless nature, Cornelia and Cecile always fight with her.

Her crimson hair is not as long as Cecile's or Cornelia's.

Yumi Wulandari
The executive officer. Yumi is a dilligent girl who admires Cornelia ever since they were in school. Her parents are from 2 different countries. She is a shy girl who loves video games.

Short black hair and a pair of glasses. She is easy to remember.

She is actually a perv. Having tons of adult manga and games. Even watching porn in the middle of the night! Can't see her the same way again...

Valerya
She run the cafeteria. Too bad she isn't conquerable.
Wears apron and has black ponytail.
Gameplay - UI
Top-right corner UI
This is the in-game date and time. To the bottom is your energy/stamina(starts at 600) and your money(starts at 50000 IF you didn't use any of the support skill in the prologue OR skipped the prologue). The gun icon, when clicked, display your stats(speed, accuracy, agility).

Top-left corner UI
  • The leftmost button brings a pause menu. In which you can save and load game, exit to main-menu, or in some case, skip the event.
  • The button with a backpack icon shows your inventory.
  • The button with a heart symbol shows your current progress to every girl.
  • The rightmost button shows your active quests when clicked.

So here is your bunk. The face icons indicate the current location of the respective girls.
  • Control Room
  • Cafeteria
    You can buy/sell weapons and foods here. You can also have a meal to replenish 40 staminas for 15000 Bz
  • Barrack
    You can sleep here if you have little to no stamina left. Sleeping instantly advances you to the next day.
  • Outside Barrack
    You can do Shooting Practice and Workout here.
  • Coast
    Same as the Outside Barrack. But you can also Swim here.
  • Desert
    Same as the Outside Barrack.

After day 4, the city is unlocked.
  • Plaza
    You will always start here when you come from the camp. Though there is no special activities you can do here, girls usually come here.
  • Aqua Mall
    Though there is no special activities you can do here, girls usually come here.
  • Store
    You can buy/sell items here. They sell gifts, foods, and apparels for your girls. Their prices range from 4 digits to 7.
  • Swimming Pool
    The same as swimming in the coast except you must pay per swim. Unless you are a sultan, or you are not in need to complete a swimming quest, it is probably best to not swim here
  • Restaurant
    You can have a meal there. It is more expensive than eating at the cafeteria, but it is is more cost-efficient. You can also dine with a girls.
Gameplay - Basics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wooing Girls
There are number of things you can do to raise girl's affection(relationship point) :
  • Giving them a gift/food which they like/love
  • Completing their quest before the deadline
  • Doing activities with them(workout, eating, etc.)
  • Giving them pill when they are sick(not too much, however)

You can also decrease their affection by :
  • Giving them a gift/food which they dislike
  • Failing their quest

There are 4 levels of their affection towards you : NORMAL, LIKE, LOVE, and INFATUATED
In order to go to the next level, you must date with them. Dates are only available when the girl have enough relationship point. You can see how many remaining points you have to earn for your next date in the Heroine Status UI.

  • 1st date : 499 relationship points. NORMAL to LIKE
  • 2nd date : 999 relationship points. LIKE to LOVE
  • 3rd date : 2499 relationship points. LOVE to INFATUATED

You MUST finish a date to be able to raise their affection again. So do date whenever available(see date section)

Date
You can only date a girl in the afternoon. It is between 11.00 to 16.00. Regardless when you start the date, you will finish them at 16.00. So it is best to initiate a date as close as possible to 16.00 in order to effectively using time.

Therefore, you can only date a girl once every day. So if you aim for harem ending, you must gradually date them from the early game. If it is already 16th and you still didn't date anyone, you better start a new game. It take 5(number of girls) times 3(number of date) = 15 days to earn all the girls heart.

Strategy
Here lies the strategy I used in order to achieve the harem ending. You don't need to follow exactly the same procedure as me. Be flexible in your game and the goddess of love will shine your way.

Day 1-15
When the game started, I tried to built up as much stamina as I need. So I can do more activities per day in later days. If there is a girl in the coast, just swim with her. Don't do any activities alone. It is not effective.

If there isn't any girl in the coast, try to find someone in outside or desert. Your second priority is workout. Just don't do it alone.

If you ever run out of stamina, don't sleep right away. Instead, have some meal in cafeteria. You will replenish up to 160 stamina this way. But man... This costs 15000-45000 Bz. Well... Doing patrol work and successfully killing an alien gives you more than that. And it only costs you 100 stamina. So always do eat-then-patrol routine everyday before going to the bed.

After the city has been unlocked, you would change your daily eating place from cafeteria to the restaurant. Sure it costs more money(20000 Bz a dine) but it replenish more stamina(55) and you can dine with the girls! Increasing their affection.

If you managed to get a lucky pendant early in the game, Congrats! Just sell it and buy a rocket launcher. It is the best weapon in the game. Trust me. You will find fighting aliens much easier if you managed to get that early. At least until day 20.

For the girl, I always prioritize Cecille and Jennifer to do activities with. Because things they love are mostly more expensive than, say, Cornelia which affection can easily be raised simply by giving her a 8500 Bz mineral water or Yumi which fond of cheap instant noodles. So, Cecille's and Jennifer's affection mostly come from activities. while Cornelia's and Yumi's are from gifts.

Don't forget to check what quest they have for you. Some quest are not worth the rewards, though. Accept only quests that can easily be completed like 'give X cola for Jennifer'. Only accept quest that involve activities if you can complete the quest right away. Ex : Don't accept 'swim with Eve X times' if she is currently in the control room.

Always go on a date every time you can! You can only date a girl once every day. That means you need 15 days for all characters to be infatuated with you in order to achieve the harem ending. Don't procrastinate for a date. OK?



Day 16-20
In this interval of days, I do workout as my first priority activity. It is a transition days from build-stamina to prepare-for-the-boss plan. As the enemies are increased in toughness. You will slowly be overwhelmed even if you have a rocket launcher.

Day 21-28
Your stamina is enough to do things effectively. Routinely do weapon practice with girls who aren't already infatuated with you.

You can only date a girl once in a day. So pay attention to your date!
Boss Battle
The Boss Battle! Congratulation on making it this far! Your ending is imminent!

You will fight with a boss and two Minis. Those Minis are not different with the one you encounter in random patrol. So they won't possess a threat compared to the boss itself. The Boss, however, is very tough to take down without adequate preparations.

Regular strategy
If you can't use SPEARFALL ezautowin360noscope method(see below), or not intending to use it, here are the standard strategy.

Before the battle, I suggest you to stock some healing. I also like to buy 1-2 anti-shield grenade and a neutralizer. You don't need too many redundant weapon. I finished the game only with a rocket launcher. Cecille's first support skill is very useful in this long battle.

Also prepare a lot of cash. Stock at least 1 million Bz. You need them to use all the necessary support skills.

In my first gameplay, I have 7000 HP, around 1 million Bz, an experimental armor, a rocket launcher, and an uzi. I only unlocked Jenny and Eve's second support.

The boss strongest attack is Geomagnetic Wave which deals around 2500 damage per use. Never let your health drops below this value(3000 to be safe). Don't hesitate to use healing if needed.

He also has healing and shield ability. This is when the anti-shield grenade comes into play. Unlike regular fight, you shouldn't attack the boss with your knife while waiting for the shield effect to wears off. If he ever use a shield, dispel them right away. Then blast him with your rocket launcher.

My standard support pattern :
  • Analytical support
  • Prestige
  • Weapon refresh
Repeat

SPEARFALL ezautowin360noscope method
If you have unlocked Cornelia's SPEARFALL, just prepare at least 2 million Bz. And you will win the battle pretty much effortlessly by spamming that skill whenever possible. Yeah. It only took 3 turns. Meh. You don't even need to use any weapon this way.

Tamatin gamenya tanpa ada satupun gadis dengan status infatuated. Boss battlenya bakal jadi agak susah, tapi masih mungkin.
