How it begins
You are Margot, an adolescent girl, and you live in Paris nowadays.
The game begins when you wake up in your messy bedroom; you must then go to school. There you meet Xavier, the boy you're secretly in love with, but you totally fail to tell him so. Then you meet Jonas Lousain, a.k.a. "Loser", who is your friend (although you're reluctant to admit it). He tells you that Cécile will give a party next Saturday and he'll be the DJ and you'll be his helper. You accept, because it'll give you an opportunity to meet Xavier again. You and Jonas then go to the record dealer Rando's, in search of the best music...
The game is story-driven and often humorous. Much of the game also features adventure and supernatural events.
