What to study

The daytime half of the game uses the same HUD grammar as the dungeon, recolored for sunlight. The minimap is the identical blue instrument as in Tartarus, here a vertical strip for the school grounds with a dotted route and an exit arrow, labelled School Entranceway in a navy bar. The calendar chip reads 5/15 Fri, After School with its moon-phase icon, sitting over the WEEKDAY banner, and the students worth talking to carry small speech-bubble markers over their heads in the plaza. Placing this frame beside the Tziah 123F shot shows the design bet: one minimap, one date chip, one label bar, with only the palette and the banner word (WEEKDAY against DARK HOUR) telling you which life you are in. Frame at about 0:25 in the Announcement Trailer 1 (ESRB) (Steam).
