Blue Archive is a social game run by Yostar and developed by NAT Games with the

Kivotos is a college town with hundreds of different schools. The events depicted in the story center around Schale, a Federal Bureau of Investigation, to solve various accidents and events that happen in the town.
You, the player, serve as an advising instructor within Schale. Your task is to get closer to the students within Schale, increase their trust in you, and solve the problems plaguing Kivotos.
