An adaptation based on Tokunou Shoutarou's 4-koma manga.

Having been a strong fan of a particular video game, Suzukaze Aoba, a high school graduate, begins working at the game's developer, Eagle Jump, as a CG artist. As she works on modelling and designing characters for games in development, she becomes acquainted with her fellow co-workers in the character design department, as well as those from across the company.

The Challenge Stage is a training adventure game based on the popular anime. The player is Suzukaze Aoba, who is tasked with creating add-on downloadable content for a hurriedly decided RPG epic.

During Training Parts, your more experienced co-workers teach you and you learn skills. Your training parameters will change depending on which co-workers teach you.

The story will advance during Adventure Parts. You’ll be able to enjoy conversations with your co-workers and friends, and your friendships can change based on your responses. In the second half of the game, you can enjoy the individual episodes of the co-workers you became friends with in the previous parts, as well as trigger character routes.
