AOTE is a combination of a VN and a Sandbox environment. The content up until now is still completely VN, but this will change when the Academy year actually starts. You'll be attending a prestigious magic academy, and the goal will be to raise your class ranking, and your individual ranking by completing certain tasks, and challenges. I'll leak more information about this publicly later on, but for now, this is stuff that you do not have to worry about yet. time to explore the game, and meet tons of different monster girls, have fun!
