COTE: Red Sonata

Cover: The Red Sonata is an impressive visual component with a high level of quality and is a popular and well-known original source among fans. Therefore, the author has decided to break free from the habits and standard practices of such works. The general conditions for the appearance of scenes and characters remain unchanged. He successfully entered a famous educational institution. It has different, unusual, and unconventional rules. This is where his adventure or misfortune began.

Developer Notes:

Please keep in mind that the game is a fan-based parody. I have nothing to do with the original series owned by Syougo Kinugasa.

Please, support the official release of the upcoming light novels, manga and anime seasons.

Brand new story with our all beloved characters (more are coming soon).No sprites are used in this project. I wanted every scene to be a unique one in it’s own way, without constantly

repeating the same character image.Licensed Music and Sound design.Quite a few animations made in Adobe After Effects.NSFW scenes (not many yet, story needs a bigger

development).Questions you may have:

Is Xgirl going to be added?Probably yes, just in its own time.How long before the next update?Hard to say. But the initial plan is to update once in one-two months.Is the art AI generated?Not 100%. I find AI generated stuff too unpredictable to generate consistent images, and I also don’t have a powerful enough PC to fully use it. So I’m using AI to enhance my sketches instead. Not using sprites makes this project about 10 times more difficult, but since I’m using AI in some capacity, I’ve decided to take this approach.

Conclusion:

Cote: Red Sonata is a very high-quality visual project that takes place in the universe of the "Elite Classroom". Van Phick provided a completely different story. Other roles and conditions, only certain scenes may appear familiar. I also enjoy diversity. Players will be able to transform their basic subjects into individuals with unique qualities and relationships with other students. It all started with his ability to enter an elite institution with unusual internal rules. It depends on what the player chooses at some point in the story.
