Nicole (by Winter Wolves)

 

Nicole is a dating sim that revolves around your day-to-day life as a college student. You can take up part-time jobs to earn money, explore various locations, do recreational and extra-curricular activities, and meet intriguing characters like Darren, Kurt, Jeff and Ted. You might even get to date the culprit!

Nicole Grave is thrilled that she managed to get into her first choice school and is looking forward to experiencing college life there. However, as soon as she moves into the university dorms, she finds out that there's been a series of mysterious disappearances going on around the campus! So far, three girls have already gone missing and Nicole could be next if she's not too careful - not quite the ideal college experience Nicole had in mind.

Mini Guide

Requirements:

To get normal ending, you need to have 900+ on stat that the character likes the most, also your relationship should be 100.

To get special ending, you need to have 900+ on stat that the character likes the most, have your relationship on 100, and solve the mystery (clues should be maxed, and you have to see all of the mystery events).

*The raise in clues depends on your stat (the stat related to the boy you're chasing, of course). The higher the other stat is, the higher raise in clues you'll get.

Basic Knowledge About the Game

Endings:

There are 10 possible endings: 4 special endings with each guy, 4 normal endings with each guy, 1 "forever alone" ending (this one also counts as bad ending) in which you didn't romance anyone, and 1 bad ending in which you tried to solve the mystery but you have no one to help you (this could happen if you didn't meet the requirements for the guy but still managed to maxed out your clues).

Talking to the guys:

At first, the order of meeting the guys is fixed, based on the plot, and then when you've chosen which route you're going for, I think it's not that hard to find out where the guy is, since (if I remember correctly) you can't romance other guys once you've settled on that particular person. Unless you messed up really really bad (like, you didn't maxed out the stat/clues/relationship) I think it's really hard to fail.

Cheats:

As far as I know, there's no cheats available for this game, unless, you're a fine hacker can do something about the code inside the game. But if you're not and still trying to do it is almost impossible (screw that, make it totally impossible).

Earning Money:

Do part-time jobs.

Part-time Jobs:

There are four jobs available in this game; Clerk, Lab Assistant, Park Volunteer, and Cafeteria Server. They will be automatically unlocked in the middle of the game (I forgot the actual date), so no need to worry if you're still jobless until then-it's normal. Once you've unlocked them, there will be some kind of a notification to remind you, something along like "You've unlocked Clerk Job". Each job will need certain stat (the higher your stat is, the higher the raise in that stat you'll get, and of course money), also morale and energy. Since the raise is random, I can't really guarantee you will get the "best" result right away even if you have high stat and high morale/energy. As for me, I always try to find the possible "maximum" raise, and that includes saving-loading the game over and over until I get the satisfying result.

Buying Gifts:

After one month, the online store will be unlocked and you will be able to buy items. You can give those items to the guys, OR you can use it for yourself-each item will have different result, so choose carefully. And don't forget to choose the items that the guys like, or else your effort in buying them will be useless.

Choosing your own path:

Basically always choose the correct answer, raise the right stat and clues as fast as possible (that includes doing the right job to raise the stat and money), give the guy the items they like (you don't have to give ALL of them, 3 or 4 is enough I think). If you follow this mini-guide thoroughly, I'm sure you'll get it.

What about the other stats that's not related to the guy you're chasing? Is it possible to maxed out all of them in one go? 

As far as I know, the other stats doesn't really matter, because it'd be impossible to maxed out all of them in such a short time. Even if your other stats were 1, it won't affect the ending, I've tested it.

A little more info: The other thing that may change the ending is the remaining time between the end of the game and the time when you maxed out your clues. There are 8 mystery events you have to see in order to solve the mystery, so I definitely suggest you to maxed out your clues as fast as possible. If you haven't seen all of the mystery events until the end of the game (the one where Nicole found an old building), then you probably should try to raise your clues earlier (as early as possible, I suggest) so that there's enough time for you to see all of the events.

General Hint:

• The main point is just to maximize the appropriate stats for each characters and clues, and to save up enough money to buy their favorite presents. The books in the online shopping option help to raise +100 stats in emergency situations. Don't take a nap unless your energy and morale becomes lower than 40. Take jobs that raise the appropriate stats for each characters.
• First and foremost I didn't catch from the start that for special ending you have to max out Clues first and then move to the lad's prime stat. That's why around end of November (20-30), you'll better have 999 Clues and something like 899 prime stat. Then "phoosh" and make prime stat over 900. Your man will totally fall for that. Also, in order to get the special ending you must see all "mystery" events. 8 or so. The last one - Nicole found an abandoned building and a prison room in it. I guess it only happens if Clues is maxed. After that max out prime stat and hit the spot.
