Very short introduction about this game
Firstly, the game developers have develop previous game 《奇迹一刻》(Miraculous Moment), it is a CN dating sim.

As all things CN, and with the saturation of game types, you can see a lot of similarities to other game. It can be summarized as Rune Factory dating sim + farming with My Time series crafting and bounty system (Sun Haven) while having a turn based combat.

The settings is derived from utilizing harmony field, with both positive and negative field (or order and chaos, or yinyang, whatever), only when both are in balance and high position where the best results can be produced, hence the name Syn-Chorus, more on that below on combat.

Some Beginning Things (mostly translation)
This might be entirely unnecessary but I will do this for reader's suffering:


Anyways, here's what inside settings:






You start the game with choosing two characters :


And then doing the naming for both your name and that white floating drone. I advised leaving them as default because they censor quite a lot of words, one of them I believe is multi language name. Its from CN community, do not bring real life sensitive stuff to the game and expect them to ignore the disrespect.
Story wise stuff
In short the world have a catastrophe and until some big saint or whatever hero managed to create gigantic mechas with sync-harmony field to avoid corruption. People either survived, mutated into monsters, animals mutated into humans and some special gifted humans developed harmony synchronization or whatever special powers, typical CN disaster lottery mutation. Main character (MC) is one of them, doesn't know jack about their past, but mentored into being an specialized engineer who can utilized those powers to control mecha (and their representative weapons).

They were then sent for an investigation into Bai Lie city to investigate its slow decline, and also to aid in its rebuilding efforts.

Also there were 8 romance candidate confirmed (4 currently released, 7 shown). Game developer did mentioned they will add more candidates based on popularity.

Story progression development is only 1/3, hence EA.

For terms of spoilers and due to unfinished state, I won't divulge into the whole gameplay lore, definitely not because I am lazy to run a new game to record everything again. Unless strictly necessary because puzzle too hard, I will also try not to provide story related content, and that is also definitely not because I want to see people suffer in puzzles.
Farming
Very early into the game, you will received a full set of D class tools and they are quite self explanatory, because watering jug, shovel and hoe doesn't evolve in design, ever. Your watering jug only holds 20 units of water, which you initially get from here:



You can saved a few seconds worth of time if you managed to gather resources for a well (200 coins,
20 slate and 10 lumber) to be put on farming land to reduce distance.


But as you can see, further down the line, you can even have some of the crafted mecha to do your watering works, they do have quota of either 20 to 40 though, and doesn't water something that is ripe for harvest, although repeatable (such as tomatoes).



By using magnifier, you can check the detail of crops:


Seeds wise, you may get it from gift or scavenging, or buy from farming shop.


You can try your luck in playing minigames on the display seeds to get heavier bag or better quality seeds, but the lottery is basically a scam because you might get both lighter and lower quality too, and sometimes its between normal bag and the worse one without any positive perks. Just buy from the guy for standard 5 sow per seed bag.

As long as you have ingredients, the guy would provide you with handcraft fertilizers too.


That guy also sells Low grade and High grade Fertilizers that improves overall crops (lose to niche fertilizers but better than those below average ratio crops)

As per shown at picture above, Crops are derived from Four Category
  • 茎类: Root based Crops, carrot and potato for example
  • 类: Flower based Crops, brocoli for example
  • 类: Fruit based Crops, strawberry and tomato for example
  • 类: Leaf based Crops, lettuce and cabbage for example

Knowing which category of crops is essential in giving better fertilizing effect, and for submitting orders, as sometimes client request specific criteria for the crops they want.

Along the way, you will received a relic which will grow plants to maturity instantly in a 3x3 plot. It requires dialogue with named NPC to recharge energy, up to 15 times a day. it needs more than one day to fully recharged and usable again.

Level up harvest skills by harvesting the respective type of crops so that you get quality boost for next harvest.






Combat
Combat is another fundamental core mechanics in this game. You are expected to level up and progress. First competition special event, which is the finale for EA version, requires you to have party of no less than lv13, the max you can go now is 18.

At the beginning, you will be exposed to mechanics of combat. Normal attacks or physical skills will break through the shields. Break effects will be greater if you managed to hit the right weak physical type.


After you managed to break the target, it will take more damage, and susceptible to mark, which is done by using elemental skill while break. Same element skill will produce a blue (positive) mark, while opposite element produce a red (negative) one. The character that breaks it also gain another move, but not recover of any action points for skills.

I believe the elements logo are quite representative and not required any explanation nor translation.


This is an example of extracting a red mark because MC has a light element mecha, while the target is dark element, so a red mark is produced. Notice that there's also the three mechs on bottom right corner and a red/blue radio frequency thing on the bottom right.

When you have mark on the right place, and with the mechs cooldown complete, you are able to unleash their power. Note that each mech have their own position and marks to consume, having wrong mark in wrong place might impede the usage of that certain mech.

After summons, the more marks it consumed, the higher chance for sync to level up for either positive or negative.

When both Positive and Negative reach at least level 2 and on same level, which you can release a devastating blast. This will most likely obliterate normal encounters which normally struggles, or consumed a huge chunk from boss. I believe this is what Syn Chorus means.

Speedrun and Overkill Mechanics

Speedrun is when you can finish the battle in 3 runs, while overkill is when you damage surpasses the current hp of mobs by fairly high margin. Both yield a substantial amount of rewards.

Condition
Rewards
Speedrun
Silver Maple Leaf, Mechanic Palate
Overkill less than 180%
Coins 50-150
Overkill 180~249%
coins 50-200, one loot drop
Overkill 250% and above
coins 50-200, 2 uncommon monster droppings, Gold Maple Leaf


This is a speedrun with an overkill.

Generally, speedrun easier content is better to get Silver Maple Leaf for friendship, Overkill if the content is not beatable fast or need the extra coins, Overkill above 250% is not common due to hard content need precise calculations to setup Syn-Chorus or a very specific scenario (like having crits during summons, while being weak element and crits on break status target which has very low hp)

Main Character can change weapon based on deployed mechs.


Mechs that can be deployed are adjustable inside garage.


As of current version, here's your teammate and their abilities, they can be recruited after friendship level 1:
Character
Speciality
Farin / Falyn
Normal Attack Penetrate. Dark Element/ Wind mark. Versatile in doing wider variety of marks.
Lilian
Normal Attack Slash. Water Mark. Exceptional in breaking target with her physical skill.
QingCheng
Earth Normal Attack and Mark. Also comes with a healing skill and debuff curing skill, you will appreciate his skill, unless your MC is the guy doing the healing.
Xiaer/ Charles
Fire Normal Attack and Mark. Generally less pick because you have Lilian covering that element's mark, and she has better break.


To change formation, just drag one of the characters potrait to other position. To change character, click on the potrait. MC must always in formation.
