In 202X Story Mode, Info-Chan is the transactional ally behind your phone—she sells plans, moves gossip, and leaves gear where the school statue hides it. She is not a quest marker fairy; every purchase costs Info Points you earned by gathering intel the game tracks through camera tools, bugs, and other phone systems. Treat her like a budget line, not unlimited hints.
Content note: Info-Chan’s economy touches mature themes in the base game. This guide focuses on schemes, services, and planning—without fetish framing or exploitative how-tos.
Treat Info-Chan like a budget line: schemes, services, drops.

Who Info-Chan is in gameplay
Lore paints Info-Chan as a shadow journalist; gameplay paints her as a shopkeeper for elimination prep. She offers:
Schemes — step lists that outline a method (matchmaking chains, framing skeletons, rival-specific routes as devs add them).
Services — phone purchases that nudge gossip and reputation in directed ways.
Drops — physical items left behind the school statue after you pay.
She expects payment in Info Points. She does not care about your Senpai romance; she cares that you feed her economy while you execute the week.
August 2026 DevBlog notes expanded Schemes menu coverage for Amai—if a scheme row missing last month appears now, re-open the menu after updating rather than assuming your save is bugged.
Earning Info Points without griefing yourself
Points come from info gathering the game rewards:
Camera / phone tools — capturing intel the game classifies as valuable (compose shots with purpose; spam lowers efficiency).
Bugs planted — audio intel in key rooms when the build allows planting.
General intel flags — overheard secrets, rival-specific prompts, and other scheme unlock triggers tied to progression.
Community wikis also list legacy point sources; on a public fan hub we emphasize bugs, schemes, and camera intel over gimmick grinds that tank reputation or sanity.
Bad economy habits:
Farming intel in crowded halls where witnesses tank your social meter before you buy the scheme you wanted.
Spending points on Services to fix reputation you broke five minutes earlier—cheaper to avoid the fight.
Buying Drops before you read the scheme—duplicate items waste points.
Set a daily point goal tied to your elimination method. Matchmaking wants early suitor intel; framing wants camera routes; peaceful routes still need points for Services that stabilize gossip.

Gear schemes assume you own
Schemes are not auto-win buttons—they are checklists. You still walk the map, respect bells, and manage witnesses.
Services ripple socially—wrong rumor purchases hurt as much as help. Read effect text; preview your reputation tier.
Drops require you to visit the statue pickup without getting caught mid-route. Plan pickup during low traffic.
When devs add rival-specific scheme tabs, compare new rows to the Amai week guide before you overwrite your old week-two plan.
Phone habits that matter
Open the phone for reasons, not habit:
Schemes tab — confirm step order at the start of a play session.
Vision — separate from Info-Chan but paired in practice; FAQ Vision notes apply.
Intel review — check what you already unlocked before paying for duplicate scheme tiers.
Disable sprint-spam while reading scheme text—students notice panic movement even when your menu is open.
Photography club gear and school lighting change what camera intel counts; test one shot in a safe hall before you rely on a scheme step that demands a perfect angle.
Pair phone plans with club access from the clubs/reputation guide path—some scheme steps assume you can enter a room generic students cannot.
1980s Mode without Info-Chan
1980s Mode predates the phone economy. Ryoba-era intel uses notepad rhythms and environmental observation instead of Info-Chan menus. There is no Info-Chan schemes shop in that campaign layer—plan eliminations with map notes and club tools, or play 202X when you want transactional hints.
Custom Mode stories built on 1980s bones inherit the same gap unless a future build bridges tools—verify on your patch before you script schemes into a custom JSON arc.
Mission Mode may offer gadgets separately; do not assume Info Points carry between modes.
When to spend vs save points
Spend early when the scheme unlocks a schedule-dependent route—matchmaking and multi-day social chains need runway.
Save mid-week when you already unlocked rival-specific intel and only need one Drop at the execution beat.
Avoid bulk Services until you know which students still matter after confession—post-confession week social map shifts.
If a scheme step references an elimination method you never intend to use, switch methods in planning rather than buying the wrong guide and blaming Info-Chan.
Download — scheme menus expand with builds; stay current.
Info-Chan sells clarity at a price. Earn points with deliberate intel, spend them on the method you will actually finish, and keep enough reputation slack that the school still tolerates you when the statue drop is ready.
