Hustle Cat Route and Image Guide

[Virgil]

A few things:
1. Always check the basement with everyone but Graves' route. After the basement, you should be set on their route and almost all the other questions can be answered to your hearts content

2. Always Run when Graves tells you to, unless you are going for the achievement and image, you do not want to stay and help.

3. Only for the Secret Route do the interview questions matter, answer them however you like for everyone else

4. I am aware that there is already a route guide out there, by mineraloid. However, I noticed people having some problems finding a few images, so I decided to make an image and route guide to make finding those images easier. I have no intent to copy mineraloid or mock all the hard work they put in to make their guide. I am doing this because I like writing walkthroughs and helping others~

This route is only unlocked once you have completed every other character route. If this route does not unlock, you have to find out which character you haven't completed yet, as some have had a glitch that tells them they finished a players route yet they haven't.

You MUST hit each Important question if you do not you will be off this route and will have to start again.
I have only listed the important questions in this route, so any other question can be answered however you want to answer them!

IMAGES:

Majority of the images will be found by going through the Route walkthrough's, so I have simply labled most of them with "follow {character name here's} Route" as I am lazy c:
If any of the descriptions are wrong or confusing, let me know and I'll change it :3

There are only 2 images I have yet to obtain, Image 56 and 78 as it is suspected they are glitched/bugged so are currently unobtainable. However if someone has found and obtained these two images, let me know! I'll add them to the list immediately

Yes I was getting worried myself xD I did some research and it seemed I wasnt the only one :3 so I can only suspect somethings wrong. It's guessed they are the coffee foam cat, and the rusted bicycle images

I had a question about the Graves route, I completed all of the other routes (and even the other achievements) but it says I did not unlock his route yet, any way you can help? And I know I completed the other routes, I did them all in one day. Thanks.

You have all the achievements but not "A vampire must be invited" hm....check the main manu coffee cup images, see if anyone is missing. Its possible it glitched and didnt count one, or "forgot" one

alright, so i redid a run, and it showed up in the main menu coffee cup, i closed my game for a bit, I come back, and only one of the routes says it's complete, I don't even have the images from the route I did an hour ago. So now I'm really confused, should i just take a day out of my week to redo all the routes?

If you know what route had glitched, then you probably dont have to redo them all. Watch the coffee cup again, make sure no one is missing, if someone is missing, redo their route. If everyone is there, try and figure out which route images you are missing and redo that route. If you can not figure out which route had glitched, then its possible you will have to redo them all to be sure you did it, however I dont recommend doing them all in one day, maybe spread it out to 2 or 3 days. Im not sure if pushing them all into one day could have glitched it, but maybe.

I hope this helps and I hope you can get Graves route soon ^^

[existie]

I got tired of messing with the glitch, and already have all the achievements for the others, so I found what file to update to get past this. I can confirm it works insofar as it let me get to Graves' route, even though it looks like it won't (no portraits in the cup on the main menu). If you haven't gone through all the routes, I DON'T recommend skipping them, because there's a ton of fun storyline in there. Regardless, here it is:

First, start a brand new game and immediately create a new save file in the upper left slot. Go back to the main menu, then quit the game.

In Windows 10, open Windows Explorer and click View, then confirm that 'File name extensions' and 'Hidden items' are both checked. Check them if they're not already (and remember to come back and uncheck these later).

Go to %appdata% in Windows Explorer and click on the com.datenighto.game.hustlecat folder.

Open this file in Notepad:
save_com.datenighto.game.hustlecat_0.json

ctrl+f to find "eligible_for_graves". You will see a segment like is below; replace 'false' with 'true':

"eligible_for_graves":false

Save the file, reopen the game, load your save. Your cup may be missing images, but you are now able to follow Graves' route.

OP, you should publish this as a Steam guide, where it would be much easier to find.
