You’ve been chosen to join a top-secret national project—the DOLL Trainer Initiative. These “DOLLs” may look like ordinary girls, but beneath their delicate exteriors lie powerful combat weapons. Your mission: Train them into the ultimate warriors, send them into the arena, and climb to the top as champions. But— Though they are weapons, they also possess emotions. Mistreatment, excessive pressure, or ignoring their feelings may lead them down the path of destruction. Will you raise a champion who can save the world? Or will you be left with nothing but a tragic breakdown? Character Momo High luck and super friendly! No obvious weaknesses—perfect for beginner trainers! Emy Exceptional learning ability! Physically and socially weak, but excels through training. Sango A reliable, all-round “big sister” type. Versatile but stress-prone. Best cheered up through frequent dates ♡ Game System The battle stage in Mindforge Atelier is the Arena—a tiered, level-based 1v1 competition. Your task is to train your DOLLs, challenge champions of each tier, and ultimately reach the S-Class to unlock the ending. ◆ A Balanced Mix of Training and Combat Boost the DOLL’s four core attributes through daily “Lessons” and “Dates”: HP (Health): Extends lifespan and improves endurance in combat GTS (Guts): Increases skill activation efficiency and reduces stress POW (Power): Affects attack strength and rhythm difficulty LCK (Luck): Improves training success and critical hit chances Each DOLL has a limited lifespan, so managing your training schedule and pacing is key. Use the Reincarnation System to pass down partial stats to the next generation, letting your training legacy continue! ◆ Arena System × Rhythm Combat Combat features a rhythm-based command system: Follow the beat of the music with taps, holds, and other actions—your accuracy directly affects the outcome. Each match offers a limited number of ♥ (Heart) attacks (max 3), determined by HP and GTS Each ♥ attack consumes one heart and is powered by POW; critical hit chances depend on LCK Perfect combos fill the Skill Gauge, which can trigger game-changing abilities! Earn money after each battle to buy items, attend advanced courses, or unlock new training options. ◆ Strategy and Ranking System The Arena consists of several tiers, each guarded by a Champion—defeating them is required to advance. Other opponents are optional, but to 100% complete the game, you'll need to defeat them all. Losing a match significantly increases stress, shortens lifespan, and may end the training prematurely. Before battle, remember to check items, skills, and rest status to keep your DOLL in top form! ◆ Key Stats That Affect Endings and Survival Affection: The key to unlocking personal CGs and unique endings Hatred: One wrong word may spike it. At 100, something will happen... Stress: High stress reduces lifespan and may trigger special (not always pleasant) events After defeating the S-Class champion, you’ll unlock the ending route. But to view a true affection ending, you must first meet these conditions: 1. Specific date locations 2. High affection 3. Zero (or very low) hatred 4. Triggered special events These factors determine whether your story ends in bittersweet farewell, painful parting, or a true happy ending.
