COTE: Red Sonata [v0.21.2] [steinercode]

February 14, 2026F95

COTE: Red Sonata is a fan-made game set in the universe of Classroom of the Elite.
It happened.
You are now officially a student of ANHS – an elite school with extraordinary rules, designed to prepare you for the harsh reality of adulthood. Meet iconic characters from the series and become friends with them… Or maybe more? From there, you’ll have to decide between two different paths: one that focuses on self-discovery, fulfilling friendships and self-improvement, all in the pursuit of a quiet and joyful existence. The other path leads to a darker place as you are forced to make difficult choices on your rise to power no matter the cost. As you go through this journey you and the main character will find out more about yourselves, and your choices will define your alignment to good or evil.

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.

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.
