Gameplay

The player's goal is to charm girls from National Star God Academy, raise their affection for Itsuki, then produce and take the "Star Children" to explore dungeons and battle "impurities".[2][3]

However, it is not an eroge,[4] as the "Star Children" are produced by pouring energy from Itsuki and one of the twelve "Star Maidens" into a particular device.[3] The child's class and statistics are determined by which character parents the child; for example, certain combinations could result in creating a warrior, or someone who specializes in magic.[5] To produce more plentiful and more powerful “Star Children”, you must increase your intimacy with the twelve maidens, the other aspects of the gameplay is typical to dating simulation games.
