Gameplay Features

Closet

After its introduction in LoveHacks, Book 1, the "Closet" feature was subsequently added to some of Choices' other series. This feature allows you to customize your clothes and in-game appearance.

Evidence Board

The evidence board is for clues that are found in Book 1. Initially, it was solely used to find out who crashed into Tyler's car at the end of The Sophomore, Book 2, but in Chapter 5, the board's use was extended for other investigations, such as the case of Beau Han's increasingly disruptive behavior.

Apartment Decorations

You and your love interest or Zack have moved into an apartment. Be on the look for decorations that will make the place a cozier home.

Spoilers

• On March 23, 2018, the release date and the description for Chapter 1 was revealed.
• In Pixelberry's blog post about The Junior, Saran, a writer for the book, hinted that there may be more Love Interests to come.
  • This has been confirmed, as Nathan Sterling is a love interest for your character but only if Your Character isn't already dating one of the previous five love interests.
    • However, by the end of the book, Nathan is a not-meant-to-be LI which means that the number of official love interests for Your Character stays at five, close behind Kenna from The Crown & The Flame with six.
