The worst thing about playing visual novels is picking the wrong option and getting locked into the wrong route, especially with story-heavy titles like The Unfading World and the Ending Flower. One wrong choice determines which heroine's personal route you enter. While this game doesn't have many options, each one hits at critical story junctions—choose wrong and you're starting over. This guide organizes all the route-entry options for the four heroines. Just follow the order, save and load at the right spots, and you'll steadily unlock the endings for Haru, Kotose, Yukina, and Ren. Bookmark this page and refer back when you get stuck to guarantee you won't get lost.

New Player Essentials: This is SWEET&TEA's debut title. The story revolves around a district drowning in flowers, where the protagonist Shou and Ren arrive to work at a café and gradually uncover the cruel secrets carried by the three sisters Haru, Kotose, and Yukina. There are four heroines total, each with independent endings—no bad ends, so play with confidence. I recommend the order Haru → Kotose → Yukina → Ren for the smoothest narrative understanding. There are only three critical save points, so remember to save promptly.

Haru Route Guide - She's My Family

Haru is the middle sister of the café trio and also the manager, mainly responsible for making cakes and pastries. She's got a slow-paced personality and always wears a smile, but she's actually the most stubborn of the sisters. To enter her route, you need to pick three consecutive key options correctly—mess up even one and you're heading into someone else's route.

Critical Save Points and Choices:

1. ◆save01 Choose: She's my family

2. ◆save02 Choose: I think of Yukina as family

3. ◆save03 Choose: I want to protect Haru

Haru END

Story Highlights: This route reveals the truth about Haru as an angel who reclaims lives, with the protagonist discovering her nightly outings are for carrying out her mission. Later sections include classic scenes like recovering diary memories and buying a ring to propose, culminating in retrieving Haru's wings for a HAPPY END.

Kotose Route Guide - Because She's Special

Kotose is the eldest of the three sisters, responsible for brewing black tea. She carries herself with dignity but takes jokes seriously, making her an entertaining target for teasing. She loves reading and is a regular at the bookstore. To enter her route, you only need to pick the other option at the first save point.

Load Save and Choices:

1. From ◆save01, choose: Because she's special

Kotose END

Story Highlights: This route centers on Kotose's writing, as she's struggling with continuing her book. The story features heartwarming daily moments like shopping for ingredients together, writing at home in the evening, and eating ice cream with Ren, ending with her deciding on the story's continuation and putting pen to paper for a HAPPY END.

Yukina Route Guide - Because I Want to Protect Yukina

Yukina is the youngest of the three sisters, handling customer service and crafting small items. She's straightforward and energetic, skilled with her hands and good at making bookmarks, with a habit of grinning showing her teeth. To enter her route, you need to choose at the second save point.

Load Save and Choices:

1. From ◆save02, choose: Because I want to protect Yukina

Yukina END

Story Highlights: This route focuses on Yukina's painful memories as an angel, helping her overcome her inner fears and learn about her past execution. The story features emotional peaks like Yukina getting angry, scolding the protagonist for leaving without saying goodbye, and their tearful reconciliation, ending with rebuilt trust for a HAPPY END.

Ren Route Guide - I Want to Protect Everyone

Ren is the mysterious girl who arrived in the district with the protagonist Shou, 18 years old, working as the café's mascot character. She expresses her emotions openly and has an innocent personality, but her true identity is a god. This is the true route, recommended to play last.

Load Save and Choices:

1. From ◆save03, choose: I want to protect everyone

Ren END

Story Highlights: This route reveals Ren's true identity and the cruel rules of the world, searching for a way to end the cycle of the flowers consuming lives. The protagonist builds a deeper bond with Ren, retrieves Ren's wings, gathers all wings to restore divine power, and finally creates a new world to achieve the TRUE END. This route contains the largest amount of information and serves as the complete conclusion to the story.

Completion Tips and Story Lock Explanation

1. Save Locations: The game only has three critical option points requiring saves, right before route entry. I recommend naming them save01, save02, and save03 for easy loading.

2. Story Locks: This game has no hard story locks—you can play the four routes in any order, but I suggest Haru → Kotose → Yukina → Ren for the smoothest narrative flow, with Ren's route as the true route saved for last for the best experience.

3. H-Scene Skipping: The work is story-focused, with H-scenes distributed in each route's after stories. If you prefer to skip them, here's when they occur: Haru route after story, Kotose route after the first key plot point at night, Yukina route after wing retrieval completion, and Ren route after story.

4. CG Collection: Each route has independent CGs, viewable in gallery mode after completion. Some CGs require specific options to trigger, but you'll get them all by following this guide.

That wraps up the guide. Enjoy your playthrough. The Unfading World and the Ending Flower may be SWEET&TEA's debut work, but it's highly complete in terms of story, with excellent music and character designs. Especially the world-building conclusion in Ren's route—once you finish it, you'll understand why players remember this title for so long.
