Any opinions on path order?

[Zeke_Freek]

To anyone whose gone down every path, do you think there's benefit in doing them in a specific order or is it kinda just whatever? I'm going to guess based off the name that "Trust" should probably be the last thing you do, but I'm interested if anyone has any strong opinions on this.

I would keep Trust for last personally.

Trust route should defo be the last route you do, it honestly felt akin to something like the true end. For the others I'd probably go from the worst to the best so Lust, greed, detective, and then trust.

I haven't finished my first playthough, but there are branching paths? How would you know which way you need to go?

its based on the choices you make and who you hang out with

there's a guide

my rule of thumb in VNs is do the first time blind, then use a guide for the rest.

except doing the first time blind in this vn almost always gets you on the lust route, and the lust route really really sucks.

I'd do suspicion and just skip the rest. the other routes are not good.

The game doesn't do a good job of telling the player when you've began a new branching or what path different choices push you into. The general gist is based on your choices within the first 50 days you'll be placed on one of four routes.

is a really good guide on actually getting onto the different paths.

Thanks. I've played a lot of VN's (Rain Code, Danganronpa, Ace Attorney, Steins:Gate, Death Mark, 428 Shibuya Scramble and more). This feels like a Steins;Gate where you have no idea how what you are doing effects the story.

I'm not too surprised, both Annika and Eva are popular (for obvious reasons) and they give a lot of points towards Lust and you can unlock a lot of Gossip points with them which further solidifies your path onto Lust.

But, yes, be sure to check out my guide if you are having problems trying to get onto a certain route!
