Gameplay alternates between story-driven daily segments and grid-based tactical battles. During conversations, the LIPS system lets players choose responses and actions that affect affection, team trust, and story branches. Battle uses an isometric strategy map where units move, attack, defend, and manage positioning against enemy forces. Each character has distinct ranges and abilities, and terrain, turn order, and resource use all matter. The expanded trust system and branching routes lead to multiple endings.

Use LIPS choices carefully, since trust and affection influence later branches and endings. In battles, secure strong positions early and avoid letting melee units get surrounded. Let ranged characters keep distance while frontliners block enemy advances. Focus on clearing weaker enemies before concentrating on bosses. Save recovery opportunities for late-stage encounters and keep multiple characters trained rather than relying on one carry unit.
