Why it matters
The demo positions the game as a belt-scroller RPG that spends as much time on school routines, part-time work and romance as on fighting, and 4Gamer's main reservation is that RP costs for specials and dodges make combat feel tight rather than fast.
Weekdays are spent on six class minigames that unlock abilities, while the student council recruits the pair to find whoever framed them. A gym errand involving wrestling captain Oleg branches by player choice.
The build on the show floor starts the day Reika and Julie walk out of juvenile detention and back into class. Each area is laid out as a side-scrolling stretch, and bus stops link them; the fare scales with distance, and a bus card that should cut that cost appears later.
Actions spend stamina and RP, and RP also pays for specials and dodges. That left 4Gamer managing the meter instead of attacking freely, though the writer expects unlocked skills to change the feel. The game is set for release in 2026 with Japanese text, and a demo is on Steam.
