The game begins within this sweet transition with an eight year old girl moving in with her mother into the mumbling town, just days before the start of her school.

Chapter 1: Child
In this chapter, you begin as an eight year old who has just moved to a new town. In this chapter, you are to attend school, make friends and grow the town. This chapter serves as a tutorial on different things you can do, and it also is meant as a buffer to set up your life for the next few years by influencing your hero's personality, making friends, getting her ahead in school and trying to build her as a character to how you desire.
Chapter 2: Pre-teenager
You have finally turned thirteen, and life has begun to become increasingly more complicated. In this short chapter, you are spending your time on summer break getting to know your friends further in-depth while finishing up any friendship route cutscenes you have missed and finalizing your character before her trek into teenage years. You spend the majority of this chapter just spending time around the town and just experience everything Araysia has to offer. At this point, the second town (Elica) is now unlockable.
Chapter 3: Teenager
Four years have passed since the last chapter, and the teenage hero is now fully developed personality wise, though her likes are still ever-changing. The plotline is in full swing, including a sub-plot that takes place within her high school life. The chapter now focuses in on the friendships she has developed and it is time to make a choice as to who the hero wants to pursue romantically. As the love interests begin to grow, so do their feelings for the hero to the point where they may fall in love with her. At this time, you will select who you wish to pursue as a life-partner and select near the middle of the chapter. After that, you will slowly trigger their route's story through cut scenes until they become your partner.
Chapter 4: Young Adult
A few more years have passed, and you and your lover have finally gotten together. You're out of school, out of work and currently out of your mind. This chapter centers around work and Marriage, as the hero begins to aspire to a particular line of work. In the chapter, the hero will get engaged to her sweetheart, married and even go on a fully playable honeymoon (with a surprise). After that, the lovers begin to plan their lives as a married couple as you can fully experience what the world has to offer.
Chapter 5: Adult [Final]
Finally, you're out of your mother's house and have moved out with your spouse (And kids if you had decided to have them.) The adult chapter is now focused on your married life as well as achieving your goals. The character can now complete hobbies for money such as writing or cooking. Now, she can strive for CEO, Doctor, Lawyer etc. This chapter concludes and shows you how the lives of everyone turn out post-game, including your own.

Max is a sweetheart who appears in the game as the first intractable love interest. He first emerges alongside his sister. He is very sweet and always smiling, but has a bit of a mischievous and flirty side to him. Max has high respects for everyone around him and will do his best to support them and their dreams. Max tries to smile through any situation, but as seen in his romance path he often makes rather selfless decisions, resulting in his own infliction.
CV: HeroicRoxas
Andy is the smart and stoic member of Araysia, first appearing with his parents and twin sister. He's rather cold at first, but has a sense of humour and gentleness to him that is unique to his persona. Andy is a very brotherly figure towards everyone and loves his real sister and best friends unconditionally, despite conflicting with all of them on a regular basis.
CV: Andrew Mimms
Gage is a super excitable and determined guy who appears to begin with his all-female family in Araysia. He's the eldest of three, and shares more in common with his younger adoptive sister than anyone else. Gage is sporty, likeable and sometimes a bit overbearing, however remains friends with most in the town. He is best friends with Max and Andy, and remains the only person who can make Andy yell.
CV: Henry Mason
Tristan is rather shy and sweet, appearing to be quiet and he seems to have trouble delivering his feelings through words. He always seems to smile and blush when asked to speak, and he generally remains gentle and respectful throughout his interactions. He lives with his mother and best friend (who was abandoned by her mother as a kid) and the two of them seem to have slight feelings for one and other. Tristan also takes interest in the hero romantically as a teenager. After he reaches his teen years, Tristan becomes more calm than shy and is able to interact with everyone much easier. He is close with Tyrone and Leo, and often panics when they begin to fight.
CV: [In Deliberation]
Ty is a cheeky and flirtatious next door neighbour who lives next door to the player. Due to a paperwork mix-up when he was born, he ended up with two names- "Tyrone" which was his mother's choice, and "Taka" Which was his fathers. His father passed away when Ty was six years old. He since hasn't come to terms with it. Ty is incredibly artistically gifted, as he paints as a child and writes light novels and manga as a teenager. Ty is also bi-lingual speaking Japanese occasionally through his dialogue.
CV: Mylez Dimitrovsky
Damion at first appears very closed off and angry, but is later revealed to be very kind and happy. He is best friends with Kyler, Jet and Jaden and classifies as a tsundere. He is incredibly popular, and finds pleasure in teasing people he cares about.
CV: ToxicProxy
Kyler is a generally tough bad boy that moves in during the teenage chapter. Kyler has a good heart despite his tough exterior, and he is very empathetic despite his initial attitude. He isn't very good at hiding his sweetness overall, but has some issues fully opening up to people. Jet, Jay and Damion were all held back to the 11th grade despite being seventeen.
Kyler has no family, and therefore lives with Jet, Damion and Jay in Damion's house. One of Kyler's favorite things to call everyone is 'Kid' no matter how old they are.
CV: Daniel Guadagnino
Jet is an seemingly apathetic teenager with a twist. While he appears to be a super lazy, emotionless guy, Jet actually has a super outgoing and excitable side that he refuses to show to anyone else. He loves Romance video games and loves action on top of that. In Jet's romance line, he is struggling to fight his tobacco addiction but is afraid of his friends disowning him. Jet lives with Damion and the boys but never seems to get along with him since Damion gets angry with Jet's uncaring attitude.
CV: [In Deliberation]
Aris is the spoiled popstar who moves in with his guardian in the second chapter of the game. He's rather intelligent and quick witted, but requires the need to bully people in order to keep his solitude. He is often very prince-like to other females with the exception of the hero- who happens to be the person he enjoys to tease most.
CV: Jon Baca
Note: Face sprite is in the midst of an overhaul
Jaden West (better known as Jay) is the proper and very intelligent member of Araysia. He is kind and mature, but in the same sense he's rather strict. In general, Jay is rather to-himself, often preferring learning to the company of others. He and his friends diverge incredibly personality wise, but they get along fairly well, as he lives with them. Jay holds a very deep secret close to his heart, that he only uncovered to those closest to him.
CV: [In Deliberation]
Kyo is Taka/Tyrone's first cousin who is very socially awkward. He appears as a teenager with his younger sibling (Shiro). When Kyo speaks to a woman, he often speaks in Japanese to avoid any issues, usually showing his true colours. He is hardly able to get words out when speaking in English to women. Kyo's actual personality is kept secret at the moment. His duel-name is a similar instance to Taka/Tyrone, as they were born very closely together.
CV: Victor Ybarra
Note: Face sprite currently undergoing overhaul
Leo is a shy boy with a lot of fake confidence built up inside of him. He is sweet for the most part, and very calm as he matures. He is 'enemies' with Tyrone, however it is quite obvious that both have a friendship beneath all of the hate. Leo lives with his father, Julius, and has a mother who is frequently mentioned.
CV: Brandon Winckler

The following is a cast reel that showcases a few of several characters and their voices. Please be aware that this video was actually used simply for the fans of the game, so it was rather unprofessional. I apologize for this, but another one is on its way with updated voices and more voice actors.
