TL;DR: This guide covers unlocking all CGs, hidden true endings, and no-damage boss strategies—whether you're here for the story or going for 100% completion. Game files and saves are in the comments.
Quick Navigation
I. Core Walkthrough
All CGs Unlock Guide
Getting 100% gallery completion isn't hard—just don't miss key manual save points. CGs are scattered across main story, side quests, and hidden events; miss them and you'll need to replay.
Must-Do Checklist:
Clear each character's route at least once—some CGs only appear on specific paths
In Chapter 3's abandoned factory, investigate the damaged diary in the corner to trigger a flashback CG
Save before the final battle—choose Sacrifice/Save/XX for three different ending CGs
After New Game+, Chapter 1 start adds a bathroom XX event—don't skip it
Easy to Miss: When heroine affection reaches level 3+, visiting her room at night triggers an exclusive CG with no prompt.
Hidden True Ending Conditions
The true ending isn't just a simple choice—you need three hard requirements, all mandatory.
Prerequisites:
Must clear any normal ending (BE or HE) in first playthrough
In NG+, choose Retain Past Life Memories (new option)
Keep Rationality stat in middle range—not too low, not too high
Key Point: Before Chapter 7 boss fight, choose Question Reality's Truth when talking to the mysterious merchant. Won't appear without memory inheritance.
The true ending reveals the real reason for MC's reincarnation and the full picture of that XX organization—30 minutes longer than normal endings, worth unlocking.
Boss Fight Strategies
Bosses aren't that hard, but a few mechanic-check moments can ruin your run. Rhythm > raw damage output.
Universal Tips:
All bosses enrage at 30% HP—stop attacking, focus on dodging
Glowing obstacles in arena can be destroyed, usually drop healing items
Dodge has i-frames but drains stamina—keep 1/3 stamina in reserve
Chapter 3 Mecha Queen: When she fires laser cannon, circle behind to hit the core—guaranteed safe DPS window. Frontal attacks stun you, annoying AF.
Chapter 7 Void Walker: At 50% HP spawns adds—clear them first or you'll get overwhelmed. AoE skills recommended.
Final Boss: Three-phase fight, phase 3 casts screen-wide ultimate—must break stance before cast finishes or instant wipe. Save your burst skills.
Skill Build Recommendations
Skill points are limited—don't try to get everything. Build around your preferred playstyle.
Casual Player: Survival Build
Max Auto-Regen and Damage Reduction first
Then dodge distance and i-frame duration
Damage comes from basic attacks and starter skills—slow and steady wins
Speedrun: Burst Build
Main stats: Crit Damage and Skill Cooldown Reduction
Get the passive that trades HP for ATK, pairs well with healing items
Kill bosses before enrage phase, saves tons of time
Completionist: Explorer Build
Unlock Map Markers and Hidden Item Sense
Dialogue bonuses too—some side quests need specific speech levels to trigger
All Character Affection Guide
Five romanceable characters, each with unique story routes. First playthrough: focus on one person. Trying to multitask leads to Bad End.
General Rules:
Choose caring options in dialogue, avoid teasing or XX responses
Always do side quests—fastest affection gain
Gift giving: quality over quantity, everyone has different tastes
Heroine A (Tsundere Mage): Likes magic-related items, hates greasy food. Key event at Chapter 4 library alone time—choose to read with her.
Heroine B (Gentle Healer): Likes flowers and sweets. Key event at Chapter 2 rainy day umbrella—must go to plaza during rain to trigger.
Side Character C (Mysterious Merchant): Hardest one. Must spend 50k+ at her shop, then refuse her deal in Chapter 7 to gain affection—weird logic.
If other characters' affection is too low, they'll sacrifice themselves in final battle—heartbreaking.
Speedrun Route
Normal play is 12-15 hours; speedrun can hit under 6 hours by skipping all non-mandatory fights.
Route Plan:
Start on Hard difficulty (more EXP, actually faster)
Main story only, skip all side quests, mash through dialogue
All skill points into movement speed and dodge, ignore mobs and rush through maps
Only fight mandatory four bosses, skip everything else
Time Save Trick: Starting Chapter 3, you can abuse wall-clip glitches to skip huge chunks of maps. Search video sites for specific spots—too complex to explain here.
Hard Mode Clear Guide
Hard mode: enemy damage doubled, resources halved, low margin for error. But rewards are worth it—clear for exclusive skin.
Core Strategy: Don't be greedy, play for attrition.
Buy healing items to max at every chapter start—don't save money
Skip mobs when possible, conserve resources for bosses
Skill points into defensive stats, damage through grinding
Save frequently—losing progress hurts hard
Chapter 5 dual boss fight is the wall—farm until level 25+, level advantage reduces pressure significantly.
Side Quest Complete Collection
Side quests don't affect main story but give good equipment and CGs. Some are time-limited—miss them and they're gone.
Must-Do Side Quests:
Chapter 2 Find the Missing Cat: Rewards best early-game ring
Chapter 4 Merchant's Request: Unlocks secret shop selling rare materials
Chapter 6 Truth Investigation: Provides crucial clues for hidden ending
Easy to Miss: In Chapter 3, talk to the drunk at the bar three times to trigger Underground Arena side quest—win for crit gear.
II. Save Management
Perfect Save Share
Too lazy to grind or hard stuck? Use this perfect save with all CGs + all gear + max level.
Save Info:
Version v1.2.3—other versions may not be compatible
Place in game's save folder—backup yours before overwriting
Will auto-pop achievements—avoid if you care about that
Download links in comments—Baidu and Quark both available.
Clear Save File Locations
Different systems, different locations—check accordingly.
Windows:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\GameName\save
Steam Version:
Steam Install Dir\userdata\YourID\AppID\remote
Save files use .sav extension—numbers indicate save slots.
Corrupted Save Recovery
Crashes or power outages can corrupt saves, showing Load Failed error. Don't panic—recovery possible.
Backup the corrupted save first—don't delete immediately
Open in text editor—if you see readable chapter names among gibberish, it's recoverable
Copy a working save, replace timestamp section with corrupted file's—sometimes forces it to load
Worst case: rename someone else's save to match—at least lets you continue playing
NG+ Save Transfer Method
Choose New Game+ after credits to inherit progress:
Character level and skill points (save some points, unlock key skills immediately)
Equipment and items (story items excluded)
Unlocked CGs and gallery progress
Affection progress (but routes must be replayed)
NG+ unlocks new dialogue options and hidden scenes—not just a replay.
Manual Save Backup Tutorial
Pro tip: manual backup after every chapter. No cloud saves—if local dies, it's gone forever.
Locate save folder
Copy all .sav files to different drive or USB
Name with date, e.g., save_backup_0205
Save again before key boss fights—reload if you mess up
Cross-Version Save Compatibility
Mostly not compatible, especially after major updates.
Steam and unofficial versions use different save structures—direct copy causes load failures. DLC and base game also differ. For forced migration, use save editors to extract data and rebuild.
III. FAQ
Stuck Progress?
First identify if it's combat stuck or puzzle stuck.
Can't win fight: Go back and farm levels, or respec skills. Level suppression exists—5 levels higher makes it trivial.
Can't solve puzzle: Check glowing points and NPC dialogue—answers hide in details. Chapter 4 block puzzle follows wall mural order.
If completely lost, check map for unexplored areas—progress is probably there.
Crash/Black Screen Fixes
Optimization is mediocre—common issues have standard fixes.
Crashes:
Update GPU drivers—old ones crash frequently
Path must be pure English—no Chinese characters
Right-click exe > Properties > Compatibility mode Windows 7
Black screen with audio: Press Alt+Enter for windowed mode, then back to fullscreen. Or edit resolution in config file.
Persistent black screen: Reinstall—backup saves first.
Best Character Route?
Subjective, but by story depth:
Heroine A Route: Deepest main story connection, most reveals—recommended for first playthrough
Side Character C Route: Most intense plot twists, but short
Heroine B Route: Slice-of-life focused, sweet but light on lore—good for relaxing
Other two routes feel tacked-on, like filler content.
Recommended First Playthrough Difficulty?
No action game experience: Easy. Story focus: Normal. Veteran: Hard straight away.
Normal has best balance—not too hard, not too trivial. Easy makes boss HP too low; you miss mechanics before understanding them, which is boring.
Difficulty can be changed anytime—lower it if stuck, no shame.
How Long to Beat?
First Playthrough: Easy 8-10 hrs, Normal 10-12 hrs, Hard 15+ hrs (farming required).
100% Completion: 25-30 hrs, multiple playthroughs needed.
All Achievements: 40+ hrs, some are brutal like no skills run.
Heavy text volume, fully voiced—taking time to read extends playtime further.
How Impactful Are Story Choices?
Very—this isn't fake choices for show.
Key choices determine which route you enter—wrong pick locks you out
Moral choices affect whether you get HE or BE
Rationality hidden stat—too high or too low locks certain scenes
Save before key choices—no chapter select, replaying from scratch is painful.
Final Words: The story is surprisingly addictive—ignore the XX premise, it's actually about identity and redemption. The true ending will change your perspective. Drop questions in comments, I'll reply when I see them.
