Start

Launch the game. It opens fullscreen. F11 toggles fullscreen. Esc opens the in-game menu (it does not quit fullscreen).
On the title, choose Enter Agency.
Progress auto-saves on your PC. Use the menu to reset a campaign if you want a fresh start — that cannot be undone.

Agency Hub

Enter Agency puts you in the Manager's Office. The comeback board is on the desk. The rest of the floor is the entryway on the left. Header shows season, concept, day, and ★.

Comeback board — Play the next unlocked stage from the desk.
Practice Room — Through the entryway. Spend 50★ to give an idol +8 Trust (capped at 100). Practice is training, not a substitute for meeting them.
Break Room — One-on-one visual novel scenes with whoever is in the active lineup.
Living Group — Ha-eun ↔ Dae-ri events when those beats are available.
Memory Archive — Opens after a lineup change at season end. What the season kept.

Studio, Dorm, and Trainee Dorm unlock later. Meet all five founders (Break Room or Hub intros) before Chart Week will let you in.

Comeback stages

A season is four stages: Rehearsal → Fan Event → Media Stage → Chart Week. Win to unlock the next. Stars (1–3) pay ★. Chart Week also needs at least one idol at Trust 40.

Match-3

Board is 7×8. Swap two adjacent gems to make a line of 3 or more.
Colors fill specialties: Rose Charm, Gold Vocals, Blue Dance, Green Sync, Purple Presence. White is Wild and does not fill a bar.
Moves are limited. Reach the score target (and any Collect goals) before they run out.
Shine fills as you clear tiles. When the meter is ready, the center idol's Shine skill can fire. First time, the game teaches this.
Performance bars fill +4 per matched tile of that color. At 100, that specialty bursts once per stage (Shine stays separate). A full bar stays as a trophy. Strong specialties can grant extra Trust on a win.
Obstacles (ice, locks, blocked tiles, and the like) show up on later stages.
If the board looks stuck, wait — a soft hint may highlight a legal swap. It is not a solver.

Synch Pulse is an optional Living Group helper: after you witness Ha-eun and Dae-ri's after-hours synch (and Chemistry is high enough), their colors spawn a little more. It is never a stage gate.

Shine skills (center)

Ha-eun — Dark Bloom (clears Purple and Rose)
Soo-yeon — Rally Cry (clears a row)
Dae-ri — Cascade Lock (clears a column)
Ji-na — Steady Aura (turns tiles Wild)
Min-ji — Heart Rush (clears Rose)

Trust

Each idol has Trust 0–100: Distant, Familiar, Comfortable, Bonded, Irreplaceable. Higher Trust weights her colors on the board. You gain Trust from stage wins, Practice, and Break Room choices.

Break Room

Click an idol, then a scene. Advance with click. At the branch, pick one of three replies. Scenes are short, suggestive, and about the person in front of you — not a dating sim checklist. Intimacy-gated frames stay behind the intended rating toggle when that ships; the default portraits are clothed.

Season end

Clearing Chart Week is the season finale. The agency will ask you to change the active lineup. Archived members are not deleted; they live in Memory Archive. A trainee can enter. Play the next season's first Rehearsal when it unlocks.

Settings

From the menu: music volume, SFX volume, fullscreen, and resolution (native or 1280×720 / 1600×900 / 1920×1080). Settings store on this machine only.

Need help?

If a stage or scene looks wrong, try retry, then Hub, then a campaign reset from the menu as a last resort. Health and privacy pages are linked in the footer.
