FAQ

• Q: What does the changing cursor color refer to?
  A: The color of the cursor reflect how much time left in that period. Blue mean you got a lot and red mean the period is almost over.

• Q: Is there any other way to change character (i.e. the Main Character, MC)?
  A: Yes, after sleeping click the class button on the top right and then select the character (marked by "PC").

• Q: Where can I find the statue to view that stats?
  A: Refer to the Statue location picture on the right.

• Q: Where can I find locations safe to H (in other words: Where can I take the girl to have H)?
  A: Refer to the H locations picture on the right. Bear in mind that you need sufficient high status with the girl or she won't follow you to the location. H will initiate as soon as you enter the room.

• Q: How do I tell what day it is?
  A: The sport lesson for that day are the only real indicator of what day of the week it could be: Monday-> Sport ground, Tuesday-> Pool, Wednesday-> Sport center, Thursday-> Pool, Friday-> Sport ground, Saturday-> Half day only so no sport lesson

• Q: The statue keep changing the relations every time I click on it? Is this a bug?
  A: No it's not a bug. In AA2 characters can have multiple(up to 4) opinions/thoughs about their classmates. Therefore, checking the statue muliple times in succesion gives a better impression of the actual relationship.

• Q: Where can I find the love hotel?
  A: Refer to the Love hotel picture on the right. The love hotel is located between the game center and karaoke bar on the Outside Train Station map (bottom right corner of the location screen). You need to click a small neon sign between the buildings while a character you wish to initiate sex with is following you. The Love hotel picture shows where you need to hold the mouse.

• Q: Can I get a gameover?
  A: Yes, see Events Section. If the PC is forced to transfer from any of those events, the game will fade to black and quit to title.

• Q: How do I get the girl pregant?
  A: Cum inside of her on a dangerous day. See the H Guide Pregnancy Section for more information.

• Q: How can I get a H-scene in a characters home?
  A: See the H Guide Private Rooms Section.

• Q: How do I change the club that I'm in?
  A: See Staff Room Section for directions and illustration.

• Q: When I go to karaoke, music do not playing and all I got is just a image with characters sitting there for a few seconds. Can anyone help?
  A: You need to put *.wav files in the data/sound/"subfolder". Put the file(s) in a subfolder that match the personality you want the file to play for.

Main Menu

• First Button to create new class. A class must be created and named in order to play. The Character Maker provides a pre-made class to play with.
• Second Button to load previous class.
• Third Button to edit sound/voice options.
• Fourth Button to quit game.

Configuration Options

All of the options on the System tab have hotkeys to toggle them, shown here and on the Shortcuts tab along with other controls. Many of these are self-explanatory.

• Show Shadow - This will only toggle shadow on and off if Shadows were selected in the graphics option from the launcher. This can be used to switch between finer rendering and better system performance at need.
• Show Focus - Display or hide the point the camera will rotate around. By default, it appears whenever the mouse is used to control the camera.
• Automatically Change Camera - If turned off, the camera won't update position when H position changes. The Reset key may function differently depending on where the camera was placed when this option is toggled off.

Your Bedroom

Here is where you begin and end every school day. You have the following options:

• Quit - exits the game, with confirmation dialog
• Title - quit to main menu, with confirmation dialog

These buttons are present in every phase of the day:

• Upper right class book - display classroom, with varying configuration options depending on the time of day
• Lower right tile - Advances time to next phase of the day

Save/Load Class

At bedtime, the Save and Load buttons appear beside the exit buttons, and this is the only time a class state can be saved. Any unsaved progress will be lost on quitting the game. Loading a class will return to your bedroom at night, the same time and day that was last saved.

Your Classroom

This displays a top-down diagram of the class seating arrangement; each box represents an empty desk, or the student who is seated there.

The player character is marked with the 'PC' icon, and can be changed only in the morning by selecting any other student.

Buttons that appear beneath the desk arrangement (available only at bedtime):

• Uniform - Customize the uniform, sport clothes, swimming clothes and club clothes for the selected student. This can also be used to set standard uniforms for all students.
• Transfer out - Removes student from any occupied desk selected. The student will be removed from the class save file, and all stats will then be lost.
• Transfer in - Adds a student to an empty desk from a selection menu of students in Character Maker data. Anyone transferred into the top center desk will be designated the teacher.
• Fill class - Fills all empty desks semi-randomly with students in Character Maker data.

It is important to understand that characters created with the Editor only funtion as a template in class creation: any changes made afterwards, both inside the Editor or to class members, has no effect on the other. Completely invisible to the player, the game also assigns a set of AI-behavior to the added classmates in order to prevent two or more characters of the same type acting the same, which would most likely happen when choosing several males, since there are only five types to select from.

Teacher

Artificial Academy 2 has introduced the ability to play as or have an NPC act as a teacher. The teacher is whoever is chosen in the top middle spot of the class. Teachers are never tested on academic or athletic exams, though they may enter the club tournament. Teachers can gain stats in the same way as students by conducting the classes, lessons and club meetings. PC teachers lack the ability to study or exercise independently, but may do so with students one-on-one or in groups. A PC teacher's performance effects the student's development rates.

NPC teachers have a general patrol of the school, from the staff room, up to the class room, then up to the roof and back down. They can easily be found in any of these areas.

Teachers can be fired from their job if certain circumstances are met such as skipping classes(after three times) or being caught by an NPC with the class prez trait engaging in sexual activity with a student.

The School Day

All gameplay occurs over the course of a day, most of which are school days, but events on days off take place in the same neighborhood.

General Controls

These controls are always available:

• F1 - Opens settings menu
• F2 - Opens shortcuts menu
• F11/PRT SCR - Saves a .bmp image of the world view with the game logo watermark in the data/cap folder. Captures won't include the HUD buttons or any interface, to do that you must PRT SCR and paste the clipboarded image into an image editor.

From the room view:

• Left-Click - Activates buttons, moves PC to character or exit selected by the mouse. A blue box with the map label of the next room will appear when an exit is selected.
• Right-Click - Stop in place.
• Middle-Click - Moves to interact with target named in the top left corner.
• Mousewheel - Selects between characters in the same map area as the player. The selected character will be named in the top left box, and a circle will appear around their feet.

The color of the mouse cursor indicates time remaining in the current period, changing from dark blue at earliest, through green, yellow, and orange to dark red at latest.

The lower right tile always advances time to the next period of the day.

Upper Right Buttons

Holler - Hollers to everyone in range.

Hollers reach everyone in the room, except Gather around which can call characters in adjacent rooms to come to your room. The effectiveness of hollers is based on individual characters' sociability, how they feel about the PC, and whether they have an action chosen already.

• Let's study/Let's do sports/Let's do club stuff - These are more effective in periods prior to class, PE lessons, or club time, but characters weak in a stat may wish help with it during any period.

• Let's have fun/Let's eat/Let's go to karaoke - These invite everyone on a group date to establishments around the train station. If done during school hours, this will forfeit all time remaining in the period and skip the curriculum between periods. Far fewer characters will be willing to join during class hours. More will gladly come with after club hours are over, but getting as large a group in one room becomes more difficult.

• Be friends with... - Asks everyone in the room to improve their mood toward a selected character.

• Gather around - Asks everyone to come closer, including those in adjacent rooms. The favorite cry of snitches.

Map Select - Opens the map to select a room to move to. The PC will automatically pass through any intervening room, (usually) selecting the shortest route.

Character Select - Opens the class roster to select a character to move to and interact with.

Interaction

When initiating interaction with a character, their full detail model is centered facing you. Pressing SPACE will pause the interaction, hide the HUD, and make the camera controls available.

• Rotate - Left-Click + drag
• Pan Up/Down - Right-Click and drag up and down or pageup / pagedown.
• Pan Left/Right - Both-Click and drag left and right.
• Dolly Forward/Back - Right-Click and drag left and right, or home / end. This moves the camera in and out from the focus.
• Move Focus In/Out - Both-Click and drag up and down.
• Move character - up / down / left / right
• Zoom - ; / \ - changes camera angle, with the perspective distortion effects along the z-axis: extreme close-ups flatten the image, wide angle expands shapes nearer to the focus and reduces further away.
• Rotate character - 4 / 6 / 8 / 2
• Reset rotation - 5 / R

Pressing SPACE again resets the camera and resumes interaction.

In interaction, a column of buttons appears down the right side of the screen. Note that after three uses of any option per character per period, the percentage chance and effectiveness will sharply decline, in most cases to 0%.

Influence

• Encourage - Cheers up a character if depressed
• Calm - Calms down a character if angry
• Praise - Flatter or thank a character. Increases the % chance and maximum love gain of other options temporarily.
• Grumble - Complain to a character. Can soften another character's attitude toward the PC temporarily. This is more effective the more the character dislikes the PC.
• Apologize - Apologizes to character who feels wronged enough to demand an apology. These characters will be in an 'Unforgivable!' status toward your character until a successful apology.
• Never Mind - Cancels the interaction.

Lecture

All lectures reduce the character's horniness to some extent. Depending on the character's seriousness(virtue, teacher, related traits, mood etc), it may change overall mood to Tension which increases the tendency to do school activities, and also increases the success rate of accepting cooperative works.

• Encourage to study/Encourage to train/Encourage club stuff: Motivate character to get more involved in study, physical training or club activities, and improve the character's effectiveness in study/training/club sessions. The success rate is reduced by the character's current horniness, but if effective will reduce horniness.
• Encourage to cooperate: Increases the success rate of accepting cooperative works such as Study Together/Sports/Club Activity.
• Reflect on Ero: Try to dampen character's horniness, reducing it by much more than upper options.

Gossip

• I have a good rumor: Tells the character another character likes them. If effective, improves the chance they will seek the other character out for interaction.
• Try to get along with: If successful, improves the character's attitude toward a selected character. If the character already likes the other character, improves their opinion toward you.
• I want to get along with: Ask the character to help improve another character's opinion toward you.
• I have a bad rumor: Lowers the character's opinion of the other character, or if unsuccessful it lowers their opinion of you. If a lover is told a rumor they believe, they may seek the reported lover for a slap (that includes you.) This is more likely if the rumor is true. If the lover is doubtful, they may question their lover personally about it.
• Do you love this person?: Reveals the character's feelings toward another character.

Chat

• Daily Life/Hobbies/Food: Light topics that are very easy to get a character to open up and reveal themselves with. Certain topics are more successful and effective depending on personality type and traits.
• Love: Talk about matters of the heart. Successes and failures have a more drastic effect on the character's opinion of you.
• Sex: Increases the character's horniness. Some personality types/traits are more enthusiastic about this subject than others.

Different topics have different rates of having deep conversations, dependent on the Personality type and Traits.

Talking about Love can increase the character's affection quickly, but that can also diminish as quickly. To romantic personality types, such as Smart and Sweet, and those with the Passionate trait, talking about Love have a higher rate of deep conversations.

Talking about sex increases both character's horniness and makes them more willing to engage in sexual contact, but this fades very rapidly if not sustained or successfully acted on. To some sexual personality types, such as Pleasant and Assertive, and those with the Lewd trait, talk about sex has a higher rate of deep conversations.

Invite

• Study together/Sports/Club activity: These invite a character to improve intelligence, strength or club score with you. The character with the lower score will improve much more, the one with higher score will improve less.
• Massage: Massages the character, reducing stress. This will also clear any love, hate and horniness accumulated from interacting with you. Different intensities are better suited to and more effective with different personalities.
• Go to class (During morning): Ask them to come to homeroom class with you. Doing so will also spread rumors that you have become a couple with that character.
• Go eat lunch (During noon) Ask the character to eat lunch with you in the cafeteria. You can also eat in the rooftop by asking someone to eat lunch while in the rooftop.
• Let's take a rest (During afternoon) Ask the character to rest in the courtyard.
• Walk home together (During evening): Ask the character to walk home with you at after school. This improves love relationship and ends the day. Similar to going to class together, this can spread rumors of a relationship between the characters.
• Have some fun/Go eat/Go to karaoke: Invite a character to activities in town, improving their friendship, love, or horniness. If during school hours, these forfeit all time remaining in the period and skips the curriculum between periods. Fewer characters will be willing to skip class, but Wild characters will be more likely to join even if their opinion of you is ambivalent.
• Let's study together - This invites the character to study with you at your home. A character resistant to having sex with your character is unlikely to accept. Sex will only occur if that character is at maximum horniness when leaving from the train station, otherwise you will have a study session with that character.

Bully

• Insult: Insults a character, causing depression or anger and reducing their opinion toward you. A successful insult against a Masochist increases their opinion of you, and their horniness.
• Fight: Challenge another character to a fight
• Ignore: Order the character to ignore a selected character
• Show 'that': Demand the character to expose themselves to you
• Put this on: Make the character wear a vibrator. If successful, their horniness will increase, and they will become more willing to have sex.
• Force: Make another character have sex with you. This can be with physical force, extortion, or personal pressure on a lover.

Note: Show that/Put this on/Force options may abuse the relationship if the character isn't prepared (eg, not lovers, not enough love, not horny, etc.) and leave both characters in a purple status toward each other. Masochists are the exception, as even failed attempts will increase their love and horniness, and are unlikely to cause purple status.

Love

• Ask to join club: Invite the character to join your club.
• Ask on a date: Invite the character on a date next Sunday.
• Confess: Tell them you love them. Some characters are uncomfortable being told this too frequently, other characters need the reinforcement, particularly those who often tell you they love you.
• Let's be lovers/Let's break up: Ask to become lovers with the character, or ask to break up if already lovers with the character. If failed, causes depression in the confessing character. If you already have a lover, this will cause anger even if it succeeds.

Ask on a date - You can start the date by either waiting for your date to talk to you or talking to your date yourself. Time will proceed to evening after the date. You can ask multiple NPCs for a date but you will only be able to date 1 of them because a date can only be done in the morning and time will immediately proceed to evening after the date. The NPCs which you weren't able to date will get angry at you. To know if you have a date with an NPC, talk to them and they will mention things like they can't wait for Sunday to come or that they are looking forward to the date etc.

Contact

• Caress: Pat/stroke a character's head. This reduces stress and horniness, increases affection.
• Hug: Hug a character. Reduces stress and improves friendship/love.
• Kiss: Kiss a character. Increases love and horniness.
• Touch: Molest a character. Increases horniness, reduces love except for Lewd types.
• Sex: Initiates sex in the room with the character. If not horny enough, reduces love.

The longer a contact is sustained, the greater the effect. The sustained effect may differ between characters and circumstances. Sustained contact with partners with a different orientation from you is more likely to reduce horniness.

Caress, Hug, and Kiss are necessary steps in intimacy depending on virtue. Normal/High/Highest virtues aren't likely to be succeed unless the previous steps have been taken; won't be willing to have sex with someone they've never kissed, are less likely to kiss if they haven't been hugged, and so on. Lower virtues are more opened, and even might give their first kiss after sex like as a reward. Touch isn't necessary to initiate Sex, but it can help.

All of these except Caress will make those in the room react, possibly spread rumors, and if a lover witnesses, it will certainly give them the opinion of 'Cheater!'. Lovers may spontaneously do these in public to spread the rumors, cause jealousy, and deflect others' interest in your character.

Travel

• Follow me: Asks the character to follow you. They will trail after your character until the next time you interact with them, unless you follow another character. Joining or initiating a group activity will also leave them behind.
• Go away: Asks the character to leave the room. May cause depression or anger whether successful or not.
• Come here: Asks the character to meet you at a location next period, and next period that location will be marked on the map with a red person icon. Interacting with the character there will improve their opinion toward you, standing them up will lower it. Bringing the character there yourself will satisfy the meeting requirement, but that will override anything they may have had to say to you at the meeting.

Map

Many rooms are simply passages between other rooms, but a few of them have notable purposes.

Private rooms are explained in the H Guide Private Rooms Section.

Study Rooms

Physical Training Rooms

Club Rooms

Locker Room

One of the gender-restricted rooms, you will most often find only members of the same sex, unless a member of the opposite sex is escorted through to the shower room beyond. Though the occupants may appear to react to the intrusion when a member of the opposite sex is escorted through, there will be no effect on their opinion of the player. However, coming out from the shower room unescorted is a different matter.

Here you also find the locker that, when activated, gives you a selection of clothes to change into. All students will attempt to change into the uniform required for the next phase of the day.

Staff Room

This room is one end of the teacher's regular patrol through the school halls, so it's most often occupied by the teacher and students wishing to speak with the teacher.

Activating the ledger on the desk gives you a selection of clubs you can join, or Right-click to exit. This takes a bit of time whether you select anything or not.

Time

The days are divided into up to four phases, all of which are important on school days, and only two are important on Saturday. One may be important on Sunday, if you have a date.

Morning

On arriving at the train station, other students and teacher will already be at the school, depending on their Personality and Traits. For example, A teacher or Serious student is most likely to always be present, an Absentminded student is unlikely to arrive until homeroom class begins, and an Absentminded teacher has a random but small chance of not appearing before class. For a few minutes, the other characters will be unable to detect your arrival, even those present at the station with you. The chance increases but remains low the longer you remain there.

Lovers with maximum Favorability will be wandering the station at the start of the day. As with others, they will not detect your character's presence until you interact with one of them. If you have multiple lovers, it may be wise to either wait for them to wander out, or go directly to school.

Noon

Afternoon

Evening

Sunday Morning

All characters who would arrive at school before yours will crowd the station when you enter, randomly wandering. As any other morning, they will be unable to detect other characters for the first few minutes, which leaves you the initiative.

During this period, invitations to do any activity at the station will fail with any character, whether they have a date or not. Characters who have a date will also have a 0% chance to agree to follow your character.

If you have a date with another character, it will begin as soon as you interact with them. Their mood will influence the success of your date together, and you will have no opportunity to improve it before it begins, so you may wish to check on them before Saturday evening ends to ensure their mood. The longer you wait before beginning the Sunday date can also reduce their mood, and catching you talking to another character is very certain to put them in a bad mood. Your date will remark on the quality of the date at the end, which also ends the morning period.

Events

Any of these can occur at any time during the week, except where noted.

Sudden Departure Events

If the PC is subject to any of these, the game will end and quit to title menu.

• Injury incident:

These will only be caused by NPC's with the Evil trait. Injury incidents will never happen on weekends.
There are two specific types of injury acts known:
1) A character with the "evil" trait gained knowledge of their lovers unfaithfulness(through withnessing or by rumor). This will result in a change of said characters disposition towards their lover to "TOGETHER FOREVER". The "evil" character will then injure their lover.
2) A character with the "evil" trait gained knowledge of an other characters advances towards their lover(specifically forced intercourse). The "evil" character will then injure the offender.

After the injury, the day will end, and time forwarded to the next morning, skipping bed time and the opportunity to save or change class roster. Flowers will appear on the victim's desk in the class roster, and a pair of handcuffs will appear on the culprit's desk. Both characters will become unavailable as PC or NPC.

An attacked character with the Lucky trait the injury may escape injury, and an attacker with the Lucky trait may escape suspicion.

• Getting fired(as a teacher)

-Skip 3 classes
-H-action with student was witnessed by student who has "Class Prez" trait
-Class Prez: will report the teacher (and get him fired) when witnessing him having sex with student

• Pregnancy

See the H Guide Pregnancy Section for more information.

H-events

• Lewd Promise

NPCs may promise sex to the PC or other NPCs under the condition of getting good marks on an exam. This is indicated by a dispostion change to "Lewd promise". Exams every second weeks on Saturday, beginning with academic exams, then athletic exams, then the club tournament. If the marks are good, the NPC will make an invitation for a H-session at their home.

• Infirmary Sex

Characters with the Wild trait can invite you to skip class with them in the Infirmary or on the Rooftop. In the Infirmary you will fall asleep together, and there's a random chance the other character will wake first and initiate sex.
