Overview
COTE: Red Sonata is a 2D visual novel dating sim for players who enjoy character-driven school stories with a darker edge. It plays out with a calm, deliberate tone that shifts as the story does.
Story
Set in the world of Classroom of the Elite, you arrive as a new student at ANHS, an elite school built to test its students under unusual rules. As you meet familiar faces from the series, you choose between two paths: one built on friendship, self-improvement, and a quiet life, the other on ambition and hard choices made to climb to the top. The road you take shapes whether your character ends up closer to good or evil.
Gameplay
You spend your time navigating school life, talking with classmates, and choosing how to respond to the pressures the school places on you. Conversations and decisions push you toward one of the two paths, with relationships and personal standing shifting based on your choices. Some interactions move into more personal territory, reflecting the romance and adult themes woven into the school setting.
