## Description
A not-so-generic otome game with BL possibilities.

Instead of playing the heroine and choosing between several men that have typical dating-sim personalities, you play as the childhood friend. That's right! The route that's usually the easiest to complete is no longer available.

You are thrust into the world of a reverse harem, where your precious childhood friend is being hit on by two of your classmates. You can choose to either play the role of a love interest and try to win the heroine's heart, or... you can play your own game and try to make the two boys fall for you instead! The choice is yours!
