What is Nicole?
You play Nicole, a college freshman, in a single-player visual novel about students vanishing from her university. You choose daily activities and part-time work, build skills, and balance morale and energy while pursuing one of four male romance options. Collecting clues is optional, but solving the case unlocks additional endings.
