V1.2.1 UPDATE (05/10/2026) : Some more minor improvements to bot behaviour + new lorebook info and pictures. Check the end of the character card for details.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Welcome to Belcrest, Ohio.

It's 2003. Belcrest is the kind of American town where almost everyone has crossed paths before. Friday nights can revolve around a football game, rumors still travel faster than text messages, and a single school year can feel like an entire lifetime.

At the center of it all is Belcrest High School, home of the Eagles — a busy suburban high school filled with its own friendships, rivalries and traditions. Some students have known each other for years. Others barely tolerate one another. Everyone has a life that existed before you arrived, and those lives will continue changing around you.

This is not a story where you simply follow a predetermined path. Belcrest is yours to explore.

Across 10 Scenarios, the 2003–2004 senior year moves forward. Each Scenario begins at a different moment and brings its own circumstances, opportunities and conflicts, while still leaving you free to decide what kind of life you want to build inside them.

There is no single correct way to experience Belcrest.

Your senior year is waiting.

Welcome to Belcrest High.

Scenario #1 is Belcrest’s full open-world life simulation.

You live through the 2003–2004 school year in real time, moving naturally between classes, passing periods, lunch, after-school activities, evenings, weekends, and the wider town of Belcrest.

You decide how to spend your time. Attend class, arrive late, skip it, take part in discussions, exercises, quizzes and tests, join clubs or sports, go to games and parties, explore town, visit friends, or simply see where the day takes you. Your choices can affect grades, discipline, reputation, and how teachers and students respond to you.

Relationships develop naturally. You choose who to approach, avoid, befriend, romance, argue with, or barely know at all. Characters remember how you treat them, trust can grow or disappear, and friendships, rivalries and romances are never guaranteed.

The world does not wait for you. Other characters have their own routines, friendships, conflicts, relationships and plans, and events can continue even when you are not present. Invitations, rumors, school events, unexpected encounters and other opportunities can emerge naturally as time moves forward.

There is no correct path. Focus on academics, popularity, sports, romance, friendships, trouble, exploration—or simply experience senior year one day at a time.

You choose what matters. Belcrest keeps moving around you.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Tuesday, September 9, 2003.

Belcrest High has already been in session for a week when you arrive as the new student. Your first morning begins at 7:50 AM in Laura Bennett’s English IV class, stepping into a school where friendships, rivalries, routines, and reputations are already in motion.

Your introduction is brief, but Marcus “Marc” Coleman, seated nearby, quickly gives you an unofficial glimpse of the people around you — including Allie Brooks, Dani Mercer, Kelsey Parker, Nikki Foster, and Derek Marshall.

None of them represents a fixed path.

The lesson is about to begin, most of the school still does not know who you are, and an entire senior year lies ahead — full of friendships, conflicts, romances, opportunities, mistakes, and unexpected moments.

Your life at Belcrest starts here.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Friday, September 12, 2003, just a few days after your arrival at Belcrest High.

Sean Parker’s parents are away, and what was supposed to be “a few people over” has turned into a full-blown house party. The place is packed, the music is loud, the pool is already chaos, and students from across Belcrest are scattered through every room.

You arrive with Marc and Ben, but within minutes both are pulled into separate situations, leaving you free to move through the party on your own.

Around you are familiar faces from school: Allie, Dani, Kelsey, Nikki, Derek, Abby, and many others, each caught up in their own conversations, conflicts, jokes, and bad decisions.

There is no fixed objective. You can join a group, meet someone new, flirt, get involved in drama, avoid it entirely, explore the house, head outside, or simply see where the night takes you.

One party. Dozens of people. Countless ways for the night to go wrong—or very right.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Wednesday, October 1, 2003.

What began as a few cruel jokes has spent the last two weeks turning into something far uglier.

Chelsea Porter has become a regular target for Derek, Kyle, Trevor, and the people who laugh along with them. When Liz Warren tried to defend her, the group simply found a second target, mocking her clothes, her faith, and the fact that she refused to play along.

By now, both girls have started changing the way they move through school just to avoid them.

After lunch, the situation finally becomes impossible to ignore. In a crowded hallway, Kyle takes Chelsea’s food, Derek turns Liz into the punchline, and even some of the people usually standing around them begin to realize the joke has gone too far.

You arrive with Marc and Ben just as Derek turns his attention toward the three of you.

What happens next depends on you.

Intervene directly, defuse the situation, support Chelsea and Liz afterward, confront Derek, stay out of it, or choose another approach entirely.

For the first time, Belcrest is asking what kind of person you are when doing nothing is also a choice.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Friday, October 10, 2003, nine days after the hallway incident involving Chelsea and Liz.

Derek has not forgotten what happened. Since then, the tension has grown through hostile comments, shoulder-checks, and increasingly personal confrontations.

Marc’s response is simple: embarrass him.

What begins as a ridiculous collection of fake “Derek Marshall Appreciation Day” posters quickly turns into a full prank planned around the afternoon pep rally, where Derek and the football team will appear in front of hundreds of students and faculty.

There is one problem: someone else has already started the prank.

Now you, Marc, and Ben have just over two hours to decide how far to take it, how to pull it off, and whether discovering the mysterious accomplice matters more than escalating the joke.

Revenge is already in motion. The only question is how spectacularly bad an idea it becomes.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Saturday, October 18, 2003.

Belcrest High is almost empty, but Room 114 is not.

After the chaos surrounding Derek Marshall Appreciation Day, you, Marc, Ben, Zach, Maddie, Emily, and Kris have all ended up in Saturday detention for different reasons—and Dr. Whitmore has no intention of making the morning easy.

The punishment begins with a 1,500-word essay on personal responsibility, followed by cleanup and organizational work around the school.

Naturally, Marc is already looking for ways to make the situation worse.

With seven students stuck together for hours, old tensions, new conversations, unexpected friendships, and terrible ideas have plenty of time to develop.

Saturday detention was supposed to teach responsibility. That may have been optimistic.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Friday, October 24, 2003, and Belcrest is preparing for one of the biggest football games of the season.

The Eagles face the Northgate Wolves for the Founders Cup, with the conference title and a likely playoff berth on the line. The stadium is packed, school spirit is at its peak, and even students who normally clash in the hallways are united behind the team.

For once, you also get to see a different side of Belcrest’s jocks. Derek, Ryan, Kyle, Sean, Zach, Cody, and the rest of the team are no longer just part of the school’s social hierarchy—they are athletes under pressure, preparing for a game that genuinely matters to them.

But before kickoff, Nikki Foster unexpectedly leaves her usual crowd and sits beside you.

She has been wanting to talk.

About Derek.

And Derek has already noticed.

The biggest game of Belcrest’s season is about to begin—but not all of tonight’s tension is on the field.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Saturday, December 20, 2003, and Belcrest has turned Founders Park and Main Street into a full Christmas celebration.

The town is packed with lights, food stalls, music, decorations, familiar faces, and the kind of festive chaos that seems to pull half of Belcrest into the same place. Students, teachers, families, and local businesses all overlap for one long evening before the tree lighting.

At the center of it, Kelsey Parker is organizing a Belcrest High Senior Secret Santa. The rules are simple: draw a name, find that person a gift somewhere around town, and return before the tree lighting.

Of course, nothing involving Belcrest seniors stays simple for long.

You can join the Secret Santa, explore the celebration, spend time with different people, shop around Main Street, follow whatever drama or opportunity catches your attention, or ignore the event entirely and make your own evening out of it.

Christmas in Belcrest is warm, crowded, unpredictable—and full of chances to get closer to someone before the night is over.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Saturday, March 20, 2004, and opening night of Belcrest High’s spring production of Romeo and Juliet is only a few hours away.

You have been cast as Romeo, opposite the student chosen to play Juliet, after weeks of rehearsals, costumes, set construction, and increasingly frantic preparation from the Drama Club and Fine Arts department.

Backstage, Belcrest’s version of Renaissance Verona is held together by plywood, tape, props, and barely controlled chaos. Julian Larkin is determined to make the final performance work, while Elena Marquez, Marc, Ben, and the rest of the cast and crew move through the last preparations before the auditorium fills.

During the final rehearsal, Larkin clears the stage and asks you and Juliet to perform the balcony scene one last time—not mechanically, but as if the two characters genuinely mean what they are saying.

With opening night approaching, the line between acting, nerves, friendship, and genuine chemistry may become increasingly difficult to read.

The curtain goes up tonight. What happens before it does may matter just as much as the performance itself.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Friday, May 14, 2004, and Belcrest’s senior class is leaving town for the weekend.

The destination is Wrenwood Lake Retreat, a secluded lakeside camp with cabins, trails, docks, canoes, open fields, and just enough supervision to keep everyone technically under control.

For two nights, the usual rhythm of school disappears. No classes, no practices, no cafeteria, no assignments—just the entire senior class sharing buses, cabins, meals, activities, and far more free time together than usual.

Nearly everyone is coming: friends, rivals, couples, cliques, teachers, and people you may barely know outside the hallway. With that many personalities packed into one trip, friendships can deepen, tensions can resurface, romances can shift, and unexpected conversations can happen far from Belcrest.

As the buses prepare to leave, Allie Brooks asks if you want to sit with her for the ninety-minute ride.

Two nights away from school. One lake. An entire senior class with nowhere else to be.

Scenario Synopsis

It is Saturday, May 29, 2004.

After months of classes, parties, conflicts, games, rehearsals, friendships, and everything else senior year has thrown at you, Prom Night has finally arrived.

Belcrest High is hosting Senior Prom 2004: Under the Stars, and your date has already been chosen. The plans are made, everyone is dressed up, and the evening is about to begin—not at school, but at your date’s home.

Depending on who you are taking, the night starts differently. Allie, Dani, Kelsey, Nikki, or someone else entirely can become your Prom date, with each route reflecting the relationship you have built throughout the year.

From there, the evening opens into one of the biggest social events of senior year: photographs, awkward parents, arrivals, dancing, friends, rivalries, private conversations, unresolved feelings, and the possibility that some relationships may change before the night is over.

Senior year is almost finished. Tonight is one of its last chances to become unforgettable.
