About this game
Make bonds beyond the stage

Meet the outcasts and misfits that make Kent University’s theater club their home. Form unique parties for rehearsal by casting them into different roles.
If you bond close enough to someone, mere friendship might blossom into something else...
Ready your blades! Drama awaits!
Each of the game’s chapter will have you re-in-act a pivotal battle in the play’s story of the fight between the royal houses of York and Lancaster! It’s up to you which actor is cast as each role and the story and dialogues might change accordingly!

Each unit type has their own strengths and weaknesses we’ve got a diverse casting from SRPG staples to bizarre ideas that work surprisingly well as SRPG classes.
After each rehearsal you’ll get to manage your time, there are different activities that may raise your affinity with specific characters or increase your social stats (Maturity, Honesty, Comradery).
Grow alongside these characters as you uncover their stories!
