About the GUIDE on itch. Since I can only set one access/tier per itch page, the link includes the game files, not the guide. I'll leave the PDF file on patreon, though, so if you have the access make sure to download it from here instead of purchasing it separately from itch.
A couple of notes:
- you don’t need to pick every scene with your RO to get a happy ending, as long as you pass the last stat checks (let me know if they are too easy or two hard to reach, and I’ll adjust)
- in the LT routes, you will pick your final RO manually, you won’t be locked into one RO based on the points (do let me know if you’d prefer it that way though, I’ll keep that in mind in the future)
- the scenes with other ROs outside of their routes are minimal. I decided, for my own sanity, to follow a pattern I noticed in some other IFs, where the route you pick determines and limits the characters you interact with. That made it easier for me to manage all the variables, but unfortunately, that means you might have to replay the game to read all the scenes with the characters that are not in the route you picked. Nevertheless, if you feel like something should be cleared/mentioned off their route as well, do let me know and I will adjust
Enjoy!
