Beginner Essentials
Before you start, here’s the real talk: despite how many branches this game seems to have, the logic is actually simple. Don’t let the options intimidate you. The TRUE route only unlocks in New Game+ (Second Playthrough)—this is mandatory. You can’t access it in your first run no matter how many times you click. So beginners should focus on clearing the standard character endings first to build experience. Pay close attention to the SAVE points I’ve marked below—get your save locations right or you’ll waste time fast-forwarding later. The Tamamo and Senri routes especially can get confusing, but stick to my steps and you’ll clear them in one go. When in doubt, don’t guess—check the guide. It saves time and effort.
