Welcome to the second page of the walkthrough! This is the introduction page, where Girlfriend Kari, also known as Girlfriend Beta, will be explained in great detail. This is where you will, hopefully, learn a lot about the game, who it's meant for, and whether or not you'd be interested in playing the game.

So you may be asking, what is Girlfriend Beta and why should I play it? I don't understand any of these moon runes anyways! All of these Japanese characters look the same - they're all blobs of meaningless, confusing, text. Is it really worth my time to do this? Maybe you've seen pictures of these girls and are interested in seeing more of the similar art, or maybe you've seen the anime and want to know more about the series. Maybe you just want to create a ginormous harem surrounded by a bunch of anime girls!

Well, regardless of the reason, as long as you're somewhat curious about the game, you're at the right place.

First and foremost...

In short, this is a card game with cute girls. If you've played any other card game out there including ones from the Idolm@ster series, Love Live School Idol Project, or others, the objective will be pretty similar to all those others. You collect cards, and use those cards to get more cards!

Basically, this is a game for COLLECTORS. The main objective is to collect as many cards - each of which depict a certain girl in a certain outfit - as you can from playing through the story and events. Since the cards all have that otaku anime kawaii uguu desu appeal, a bunch of people play the game to collect those cards and get the rarest ones possible. There are over 50 girls (I daresay around 100 total girls) in the game, which makes collecting a very arduous act.

Do you know why they call it GirlFriend Beta? Because Beta in Japanese can be translated to "tentative," which means that YOU'LL NEVER FIND YOUR TRUE WAIFU IN THIS GAME AND YOU'LL KEEP SWITCHING BECAUSE THERES TOO MANY DAMN GIRLS, SO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL FOREVER BE TENTATIVEEEEEEEEE

So, why do people play this? Well, it's obviously because since the beginning of time from when humans first existed, we've always been collectors. We always want to get everything and anything that we possible can to scratch that OCD itch that we have. But that's some scientific junk that doesn't belong in here, but rather over on Wikipedia.

And the other reason for why people play this is because they're sexually frustrated and want to bask in the glory of a two-dimensional anime harem. God, these perverts.

Remember how there are about 100 girls in this game? A large amount of them have voice acting! Some of the voice actresses are really quite famous (such as Tamura Yukari, Yui Ogura, etc.). They do a superb job at voice acting, which just adds on to the cute anime appeal of the game.

Are you still not convinced? Well you will be after you check this out.

Objective

The objective of this game is to collect as many cards as you can. You can collect cards in various ways. You can get the normal, common, default cards by playing through the story (area or class, whatever you wanna call it). But since everyone can do that the cards are pretty bad (stat-wise and art-wise). Thus, you have to get the good cards somehow else - that comes from doing a gasha roll, attendance checks, pure luck, battling other players, and events.

(What's a gashapon, you ask? It's basically a machine that gives you something random when you press a button. You know, like one of those capsule machine things that you see in stores like WalMart. Like that picture on the right.)

In order to maximize the chance of getting more rare cards, you need to build a strong deck of girls. Each card that you obtain not only has a picture of a girl, but it also has stats - attack, defense, HP, etc. Rare cards generally have stronger stats. Girls with stronger stats also require more energy stamina in order to use. The better cards you own, the stronger you are. The more energy stamina you have, the more girls you can summon, and the stronger you are. The stronger you are, the more people you can defeat in battles. Having a good deck will then let you perform better in events, so you have a better chance of getting even better cards from those events.

In other words, collect girls for more girls.

So, is it worth your time to play this game? Probably not, but you're gonna play it anyways.

So how do you start? By installing the game, of course!
