The Ticket system
When you first play the game, or when you have saved under multiple tickets, the game will ask you to pick one of the tickets.

The three tickets are separate game profiles. You can consider it as having three save slots, without the ability to choose which slot to save to. You can only save on the ticket you are currently playing on.

The lower left side button is "Delete", while the lower right buttons are "Ok"/"Quit".

If only one ticket has a save, the game will automatically load that ticket.

Title Screen

 * Go to Island - takes you to the Hotel screen
 * Extra
 * Config
 * Back to ticket
 * Quit

Game flow
Each day is divided into 5 time periods:
 * Morning
 * Noon
 * Sunset
 * Night
 * Late night

The first three count as "Daytime" and the last two count as "Nighttime" for event availability purposes.

Each day starts you off in the Hotel. You exit the hotel then select the girl you wish to go out with. Then you select the location for the date. Each date takes up one time period, and after the date you select the location for the next date with the same girl.

Selecting the hotel lobby returns you to the hotel screen and deselects the girl. You can go out, select a girl, immediately return to lobby, without time passing at all.

Each new day starts you off in the hotel lobby, so the girl you were with during the last time period is automatically deselected even if you never picked to go to the lobby.

Hotel Screen

 * Rest - go to the next time period
 * Sleep - go to next day
 * Save
 * ??? - not available initially. See the Heart system section for explaination.
 * Quit game
 * Exit Hotel - takes you to the Island map screen.

The Heart system
The heart system is your relationship with the girls, and governs what interactions/clothing are available.

Leveling up
To get to the next level, you need to have a certain numbers of dates at the current level (as opposed to total), then there will be a heart event. The heart event will start with a CG for the character, then during the event the only action you can perform is the new action unlocked for that level. The heart event itself does not count towards the number of dates, though it counts toward the number of Oil and H sessions. When the heart event is over, you are automatically returned to the Hotel lobby.

After each level up, the girl will have a special dialogue the first time you pick her. It is only availabe at during daytime (except Reiko's level 4 dialogue which is Nighttime), and the girl will be unavailable outside that time frame until you have seen the dialogue.

Level quick reference
1 The value in parenthesis are the minimum possible number of total dates. To reach the next level, only the number of dates in the current matters; the number of dates in the previous level (or the total) don't count at all.

2 The event for level 3 is slightly different. After having 4 level-2 dates, you need one more date specifically at Sunset to trigger the CG. The CG shows up after the Sunset date ends and return you to the island map, and the only location you can select next is the bedroom (can't even pick the lobby). The bedroom has all the characteristics of the heart event except there is no heart, it requires a Sunset normal date to immediately precede it, and the CG is before the event.

3 At the end of the 15th level-5 date, you will acquire the Original accessories for that girl. Then the next time you are at the island map with the girl, a message shows up telling you She has cleared, which is when you receive her Original swimsuit.
