Before you start:


Notes:
  • *.......* -> Editors notes or Comments
  • If there is no choice given, then this choice is not relevant for the specific route.
  • On day 4 the choice: I can take care of myself. OR Thanks for the heads up.
    Will give you different options when dealing with the president, but don't have an effect on your Hero/Heroine routes.
  • On the Tea Party (Day 4): Remember your choice: Are your parents dead or not -> It will be asked later.
  • On day 3: If you gossip about Jiro and Hiro -> This will change some text later, but won't change your Hero/ Heroine routes. Plus, this is a Steam-achievement. ;-)
  • In the final battle, there are more routes to win than I will list here (e.g. just disable Sen and take-up the knife)
  • The "Cannon"-Ending is listed in the "Bad-Ending"-Section.
  • As in the comments noted by "Lv.85 Squirtle" your decisions while cosplaying with Kaori will unlock some extra pictures in the gallery.

This guide is far from perfect, but it's becomming the final version I planned in the beginning. So, if you find any errors or have an idea for something that you feel is missing, feel free to write it in the comments! :D

THX :D
Ah, not a thing - I found out that it wasn't to do with that at all - it was because I chose the wrong target at the end. Essentially, the game punished me for being right. XP

Hey there, sorry for the late answer (had a lot to do...). With "build up" I mean to choose the options described in the "good ending" section :)
When you say "build up", does it have to be complete? Because I did nearly everything right for Kaori and still got my ass kicked at the end.
MilleniuM 28 Apr, 2016 @ 6:54pm 
Whats wrong with "True Assassin"?Is that bug?I'm killing assassins but can't obtain this achievement.

Awesome guide! Thanks!

Merci pour cette réponse, j'utilise aussi Google pour faire la traduction ! J'ai finis par réussir en fouinant et appuyant de partout (le jeu étant en anglais, c'est un peu difficile). Malgré tout, un grand merci pour le guide, j'en ai eu pas mal grâce à vous, je le conseil !

Thank you for that answer , I also use Google to do the translation ! I finally succeed in pushing and poking around (the game is in English, it's a bit difficult) . Still, a big thank you for the guide , I had a lot thanks to you , I advice!

Sorry I don't exactly understand what you are trying to say. (I don't speak French at all :-( )
My intention with this guide was to help people find endings or achievements, they couldn't get themselves. I would recomment to try to play all routes alone and just look it up if you get stuck at some point. Most of the achievements are unlocked just by playing through all good and bad routes.

Google Translate (English->French):
Désolé, je ne comprends pas exactement ce que vous essayez de dire. (Je ne parle pas français :-( ) Mon intention avec ce guide est d'aider les gens à trouver des terminaisons ou les réalisations, ils ne pouvaient pas obtenir eux-mêmes. Je conseillerais d'essayer de jouer tous les itinéraires seul et il suffit de regarder vers le haut si vous êtes bloqué à un moment donné. La plupart des réalisations sont déverrouillés en jouant simplement à travers toutes les bonnes et les mauvaises routes.
Wampiir 9 Aug, 2015 @ 3:31pm 
Je suis désolé, je ne parle pas réellement anglais, ce serait bien de rajouter quels Succès sont obtenus à quel moment, leur nom ! Car j'en débloque en ne comprenant ou en n'arrivant pas via les phrases au bon endroit, et je n'arrive plus à savoir où j'en suis ^^
Merci pour le guide !

I'm sorry , I do not really speak English, it would be good to add what success are achieved when, their name! For I unlocks in not understanding or not arriving via the sentences in the right place , and I can no longer know where I am ^^
Thank you for the guide !
