COTE: Red Sonata – A Symphony of Ambition and Forbidden Desires
COTE: Red Sonata, a daring fan-made visual novel by steinercode, takes you on a thrilling journey within the prestigious walls of ANHS Academy. This isn’t your typical high school experience. ANHS, with its cutthroat competition and extraordinary rules, is a crucible designed to mold students into ruthless elites. Here, amidst the pressure to excel, a symphony of ambition and forbidden desires plays out.
You, the protagonist, are a newcomer to this world. Freshly enrolled, you navigate the treacherous social landscape, forging bonds with iconic characters from the Classroom of the Elite universe. But these bonds can take on unexpected dimensions in COTE: Red Sonata. The game offers a unique branching narrative, allowing you to explore two distinct paths.
Path 1: A Familiar Melody – The Pursuit of Peace
In this path, you opt for a more traditional experience. Your focus is on academics, forging meaningful friendships, and navigating the complex social hierarchy. However, even within this seemingly tame route, a subtle sensuality can blossom. ANHS, despite its focus on ruthless competition, harbors hidden desires. As you build relationships with classmates, the potential for intimacy and exploration of your own sexuality emerges. Will you succumb to the allure of a classmate, or will you prioritize academic excellence and a peaceful school life?
Path 2: A Discordant Harmony – The Ruthless Climber
This path awakens the darkness within. Here, you embrace the cutthroat nature of ANHS, employing any means necessary, regardless of morality, to ascend the ranks. COTE: Red Sonata delves into the dark and erotic aspects of ambition, exploring how the quest for power can lead down a path of manipulation and even seduction. Will you exploit the vulnerabilities of others for your own gain? Will you use your charisma and cunning to forge illicit bonds with classmates, leveraging these relationships to manipulate the system?
COTE: Red Sonata transcends the boundaries of a typical fan-made game. It offers a liberal perspective on sexuality, exploring themes of ambition, forbidden desires, and the intoxicating allure of power dynamics. The choice is yours – will you succumb to the ruthless nature of ANHS, or will you forge a path defined by genuine connection and self-discovery?

Changelog
v0.11
Overhauled Save System: You can now delete saves and lock them to prevent accidental deletion. Additionally, some other improvements have been made to the save system.
NOTE: Old saves may disrupt the appearance of the menu, so they have been reset. I’m really sorry for this, it won’t happen again in the future. If you want your old saves back, here’s what you need to do:
1. Press windows + R and type **%appdata%**
2. Navigate to the renpy folder and copy the files from the RedSonata-saves folder to the RedSonata.saves folder.
However, I just recommend to start over.
Quick Menu Option: On PC, you can now toggle the quick menu on or off. It’s still turned off by default.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where the game would return you to the main menu if you decided not to save the photo.
- Fixed an error that sometimes occurred when loading a save file in which the phone interface was open.
Installation Guide
1. Extract and run.
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.
