Summer had dawned and come to a close on cue, as the leaves slowly cascaded from greens to ambers. The oncoming fall had welcomed more than just the chill of winter to the town of Araysia.
The story begins with our eight year old hero Alice and her mother Julie, moving in to the sizable town of Araysia. School begins in a few days, and the excitement has finally set in. The thoughts of a new life swarm her mind, but little does she know that her move was the dawning of something greater than a simple story she predicted. Control the hero through her life over a series of chapters as she slowly grows from a young child to adulthood whilst making friends, developing a personality, attending classes and perhaps even starting a family.

Secrets of hate and betrayal linger behind Araysia's otherwise perfect persona. Death and destruction lay itself on the doorsteps of each of the civilians that inhabit the town. Follow the trail of the murderous scheme put together by one of your very own from start to it's climactic conclusion.

The main section of the game takes place in the town of Araysia: A modern, yet fairly sleepy town with quite an array of residents. People more in and out in each chapter, therefore leading to a fluctuating demographic. The town has many stores and locations such as Candy stores, clothing stores, an elementary school, a Chinese noodle shop; and the list carries on. Unlike the neighbouring town, Araysia is a fairly middle class town with a few families struggling, and a couple thriving.
The other locations where a portion of the game plays out is in the rich city of Elica. The location is only accessible by bus in the later chapters of the game. Elica has a few more locations such as a video game store and a high school. The teenage chapter centers around this town since the private high school is where the children are educated.

Q: How long ago did you start making the game?
A: Technically, 2008. It began as a tester for codes, and eventually evolved into a game by the end of 2008 and dawn of 2009.

Q: How far are you in game production?
A: The main structure of the game has been completed. The events, activities and school system remain.

Q: You say the game is like Harvest moon... but why do you say it's for teens?
A: The game does start out light-hearted. Once you reach the teen years, there are a couple events that are not 'suitable' for children. They contain mild tobacco references at this point. There are also themes that some people may find a little difficult to cope with. Therefore I urge a teen audience only.

Q: Everyone on the website looks like- [insert another term for poop here]
A: The website's facesets were generated with facemaker. All the up to date artwork is drawn by hand.

Q: Do you actually go to school? Or does it blank out?
A:You actually go to school and attend lessons that change daily. You have homework and tests as well. I promise I did my best to make them interesting. :)

Q: Does the game ever end?
A: Yes. The game will end in the adult chapter (Chapter 5). You will play through 2 years, and the final event will be a clip of what happens to all the characters. You cannot play passed this point.

Q: Do you or any of the main boys/girls ever die?
A: None of the characters of your age group die, and neither do you. Everyone is alive well passed the end of the game.

Q: Why isn't there any Male X Male or Female X Female relationships?!
A: Well... the main reason is I'm already struggling with Male X Female relationships. I feel that I may offend some people if I do attempt to make the game with same gender relationships, I may do something that others may not like for whatever reason. Bottom line, there won't be any same gender relationships in the game.

Q: Are there any easter eggs or cheats?
A: Yep :) quite a number.

Q: Why are you such a bad artist?
A: Because as Lady gaga would say, I was born this way :)

Q: Can the boys get married to someone else?
A: Yes. A few of the characters (Including characters outside of the main boys and girls) Have love interests they may date, marry and start a family with.

Q: Can the boys get jealous of eachother?
A: Yes. This was a feature implemented in 2008 when the game first started and eventually grew to be both the males and the females can be jealous of you or each other.

These are the main 24 characters of the game. They are all of the hero's age or of a similar range. Most of them find a romantic interest in another NPC.
