Sources and Methodology

This page explains where the site's choices, dates and prices come from and how the diamond totals are counted. Walkthrough pages don't list their sources so they stay easy to read on a phone mid-episode; all the attribution lives here.

I play every story myself. But a player's memory is a poor source for numbers, so everything checkable on this site rests on documents: the studio's official posts, the app store listings and an episode-by-episode breakdown of choices.

Choices and option text

The walkthroughs are built on a breakdown of the choices in every episode.

  • English section — based on romanceclubguides.com, for the stories where that guide has the English text of the choices. English options are quoted only from the game's own text.
  • Russian section — based on the romanceclub.wiki walkthroughs: the options, their price in diamonds, and each option's effect on relationships, stats and route.
  • Cross-check. An episode's paid choices are checked against a second source — playground.ru, romance-club.ru or the English guide.

Options are quoted the way they read in the game. Episode descriptions, announcements and hints are retold in our own words.

How diamonds are counted

On the page How it's counted
Diamonds per episode the sum of paid options in the episode's choice breakdown
Everything paid, all routes the sum of every paid option in the episode or season, as if you bought each one
Route price the sum of paid options with a romance effect on that character across all released seasons
Free path the sequence of free options, plus a list of what you give up along the way

Prices on the English pages are given in diamonds. The Russian section also converts them to rubles at the official store price: 130 diamonds for 899 ₽ as of October 25, 2026.

For more than half of all episodes, the “from … to …” range quoted in guides doesn't match the sum of the breakdown, so the site always shows the counted total.

Story status, updates and events

  • Ongoing and on hold — from the studio's “New Episode Release Schedule” post in the English Telegram channel and the Russian VK group.
  • Complete — from the finale episode in the official schedule; for stories that ended before 2026, from the club-romance.ru catalog and the Russian fandom wiki romanceclub.fandom.com.
  • Updates and versions — the release schedule, the “Update is now available” post in the Telegram channels, and the What's New section and version history in the US App Store.
  • Diamond Rush, Tea Party Day, Shopping Day, Fortune Week — the official announcements in Telegram. The English history starts on September 12, 2026, the Russian one on June 13, 2026. The start time comes from the Russian announcements, which give it as 4:00 a.m. Moscow time; the site converts it to UTC (1:00 a.m.) and US time zones.
  • Promo codes — the studio's posts and newsletter, with the date of the post. A code appears only if an official post carries it.
  • App details — Google Play, App Store and Steam listings, with the date they were checked.

Love interests and the fandom's picks

A story's list of love interests is built from the choices with a romance effect. The notes on fan favorites and anti-favorites are editorial: there's no vote behind them. They draw on player discussions in the official r/RomanceClub subreddit and in comments under walkthrough videos on YouTube.

New episodes are broken down after each big update, and app store details are rechecked along with the game's updates.

Questions and answers

Where does the choice text on this site come from?

English options are quoted as they appear in the game, based on the romanceclubguides.com walkthroughs; the Russian section works from the romanceclub.wiki walkthroughs. Episode descriptions and hints are retold in our own words.

Why does an episode's diamond total differ from other guides?

The total is added up from the breakdown of choices, option by option. The “from … to …” range other guides quote often doesn't match that sum, so the site shows the counted total.

How is a love interest's route price calculated?

It's the sum of every paid option with a romance effect on that character, across all released seasons of the story. Choices that only move stats or open a picture without affecting the romance aren't included.

How current are the Diamond Rush and update dates?

They come from the studio's official posts in Telegram and VK and from the game's app store listings; every date links to the official post it's based on.

Why are event times given in Moscow time and UTC?

The studio's Russian-language announcements state the start time in Moscow time, and the English ones say only that the event “will start soon.” The site converts that time to UTC and US time zones.
