Aya is a { FREE } interactive desktop buddy designed to be your work/study partner. Give her gifts and get to know each other as you work together toward your goals! The game runs on your desktop clock, and she recognizes major (US) holidays.

　　* GIFTS - Earn points by "studying" with her and use those points to buy gifts to raise her affection. 3 items per day are always unlocked and change daily. Additional unlockable gifts include items to permanently decorate her room and items she can wear.

　　* DIALOGUE - Hundreds of lines of unlockable and variable-based dialogue. The closer you get to her, the more she'll have to say, and she'll remember things you tell her about yourself.

　　* MOODS - Aya has different moods on different days, and her mood can change based on what you say to her, or how much you annoy her while she's working.

　　* CLOTHING - Many different outfits, including unlockable outfits and seasonal clothing.

　　* OST - The radio plays an original soundtrack by brutalmoose!

　　* EASTER EGG EVENT - Discover a hidden event that unlocks the final gift from the gift shop!

　　 Q: I'm giving her gifts but her meter isn't going up!

　　A: The meter you can see is a condensed reflection of her current friendship/love points. You might not always see it go up, but it is increasing when you give her gifts and occasionally when you answer questions in ways she likes. To be specific, the meter will visually increase by 1 for every 4 points you earn. The rotating daily gifts will net you between 2 - 4 points each, depending on how much she likes that specific item.

　　Q: Help! She's mad at me and doesn't want to study with me anymore!

　　A: You've annoyed her, probably from talking her ear off. Give her some space and try again later. If she likes you enough, eventually you can speak to her an unlimited amount without making her angry.

　　Q: Any hints about the hidden event?

　　A: It's not tied to her affection, and it's unlockable pretty early in the game. Good luck!

　　Q: How do I listen to the soundtrack?

　　A: The radio has an on/off button, as well as buttons to turn the volume up and down.

　　Q: I wasn't paying attention and my game is no longer open! I think it crashed!

　　A: Aya will sometimes ask you how your studying is going. If you don't answer in a timely manner, she'll close the game. Don't worry, the game saves your progress whenever it closes!
