Story Quest

**Overview**
 • Info

**Story Quest** is a story mode in *Life Makeover* and the main source of information about characters and the worldbuilding of the game. Story Quest is one of the main gameplay features, and it is the first one introduced to the player.

Passing Stages in the Story Quest unlocks many other features in the game. Story Quest can be accessed through the Shining Journey.

## Gameplay

Story Quest is arranged into Chapters, which are then divided into separate Stages. Players must clear these Stages in order to progress through the story. There are different types of Stages which will determine the requirements for clearance.

Each Chapter has a "Goal" with a requirement that players must meet in order to unlock the next Chapter, usually crafting a set in the Fashion Studio or clearing the designated number of Stages. Each Chapter also features a Chapter Pack that rewards various items once the player reaches a certain number of Perfect ratings.

Passing certain Stages unlocks sets in the Fashion Studio, fashions from which are often required to clear subsequent Stages.

### Types of Stages

**Styling Stages** are the most common type of Stages. Clearing them costs . Styling Stages are completed by styling an outfit in accordance with the Main- and Sub-Styles and gaining a passing score. Some stages also have a Tag which contributes to the player's score. Styling Stages often require the player to wear a certain fashion in order to pass the stage — these fashions are available to craft in the Fashion Studio. Depending on the player's score, the player will get a Good, Great, or Perfect rating. Failing a Stage will result in Failure.

After clearing a Stage with Great or Perfect rating, the player can "Raid" that Stage, skipping all dialogue and styling and heading straight to their rewards. Players can perform up to 10 Raids at once (3 Raids on Hard Stages).

Each Styling Stage drops  and a 3  fashion, as well as Ally EXP Keys I  in later Stages. From the Stage menu, Styling Stages are presented as a picture of the Stage's location.

**Dialogue Stages** don't have any requirements, and are simply to pass the story. They are dialogue-driven, and may have the player pick a response. These Stages don't drop currency or fashions and clearing them doesn't cost . From the Stage menu, Dialogue Stages are presented as a blank slate and a picture of Ai.

**Mind Simulation Stages** are completed with the Mind Simulation. The player must enter and explore a character's memories and thoughts. These Stages don't drop currency or fashions and clearing them doesn't cost . From the Stage menu, Mind Simulation Stages are presented as a black slate with twirling blue butterflies and mist.

**Photoshoot Stages** are completed by finishing a photoshoot. Clearing them costs . The player must pick a scene, two poses with effects, and decorate the results using photo-taking resources to fit the Stage's provided styles. Each Stage drops , and may drop other items if specified. From the Stage menu, Photoshoot Stages are presented as an iridescent slate with a posing female silhouette.

### Difficulty

There are two difficulties that the player can choose from: **Normal** and **Hard**. Normal Difficulty is available by default and Hard Difficulty unlocks once the player passes the Stage 4-2.

The main difference between Normal and Hard modes is in the difficulty of passing Stages, as Hard Stages require higher score to get higher Rating. Hard Difficulty doesn't affect Dialogue and Mind Simulation Stages as they do not involve any scoring system and do not cost  to clear.

Normal Stages cost 4  to play, while Hard Stages cost 8 . Energy is refunded if the player backs out of the Stage. Hard Stages only provide three daily attempts each, as opposed to Normal Stages, which provides unlimited. Players can buy additional Hard Stage challenge attempts using , up to 3 additional challenge attempts per Stage per day.

Chapters' Goals in the Normal mode require crafting a set (only for the first five Chapters) or clearing 4 Stages to progress through the story. Chapters' Goals in the Hard mode always require clearing 3 Stages.

Each Chapter Pack in the Normal mode includes a 4  fashion, 120 , a pose, 5,000 or 15,000 , 18 , 2 , 6  (excluding Chapter 1), and 1 or 2  (excluding Chapter 1). Sometimes they also reward Exclusive Design Items.

Each Chapter Pack in the Hard mode includes a 5  fashion, 1  (excluding Chapter 1), a pose, 10,000 or 30,000 , 36 , 4 , 10 , and 4 or 5 .

## Trivia

2. ↑ Chapter 9: The Missing Bride III is the only Chapter to have all four Stage types.
