How to get to Alice's Route

This is a walkthrough on how to get to Alice's route. It will be expanded into a full walkthrough later. But for now, the guide will end once the player enters Alice's route.

Route Order

The recommended Route Order is as follows:

Alice(Optional) ----> Mel ----> Oceane ----> Eliza

• Since the Knights Route is a continuation of Eliza's story, we recommend to play her route last.
  
• Alice and Mel's route are interchangeable, so swap them as you please.
  
• While Oceane's route can also be played before Alice's or Mel's, her story contains some elements which are not uncovered in the other routes, so we recommend playing her route after Alice's and Mel's.
  
• Alice's route is optional to get to the True Ending.

A note on Alice's Route

There are three ways to enter Alice's route. During Chapter 5, you get the option to spend the rest of the week with Mel, Oceane or Eliza. You can enter Alice's route by:

Choosing Mel

• Before the divergence at the end of chapter 8, Alice's hearts need to be higher than Mel
  
• During the coffee auction, you must choose to go to the Aksumite & Mayan Hall

Alternatively

• Before the divergence at the end of chapter 8, Alice's hearts need to be higher than Mel's and Oceane's.
  
• During the coffee auction, choose to go to the Cuppers' Hall
  
• You must choose to go to Moriya Coffee House at the harbor.
  
• You need to choose to go back to the coffee house with Alice at the end of the chapter.

Choosing Oceane

• Before the divergence at the end of chapter 8, Alice's hearts need to be higher than Oceane's.
  
• You must choose to go to Moriya Coffee House at the harbor. (This option might or might not appear)
  
• You need to choose to go back to the coffee house with Alice at the end of the chapter.

Choosing Eliza

• Before the divergence at the end of chapter 8, Alice's hearts need to be higher than Oceane's.
• You must choose to go to the Cuppers' Hall during Chapter 7.
  
• You must choose to go to Moriya Coffee House at the harbor.
  
• You must choose to go back to the coffee house with Alice at the end of chapter 8

In this walkthrough, we will access Alice's route via spending the week with Mel.

Common Choices

The options to choose are highlighted in bold. Only consequential choices will be shown in this walkthrough.

Chapter 1:

After Constantine leaves...

• I owe you my life
  
• I want your dream to come true (Alice +0.5)
  
• This coffee house has my name on it

Chapter 2:

When speaking to Eliza

• You're lucky you didn't get hurt
  
• You should've asked for help
  
• Lucky they fell otherwise... (Eliza +0.5)

• I'll stay and help (Eliza +0.5)
  
• I need to go back to the coffee house (Alice +0.5)

Chapter 3

When confronting Oceane

• Help Alice (Alice +0.5)
  
• Find my mom (Oceane +0.5)

Chapter 4

• An Espresso Shot
  
• Can't believe I'm seeing the woman of my dreams (Mel +0.5)
  
• A half decaf...........

• So Sparkwood is fast food coffee...
  
• Would you like to go on a date with me? (Mel +0.5)

Chapter 5

During the transition, you will see the Heart Card for the first time. If you've followed the guide correctly, you should have 1.5 hearts for Alice, and 0.5 hearts for Eliza.

When cheering Alice up with coffee puns

• What's sumatra with you?
  
• It's a brew-tiful day!
  
• You roast my heart, sweet and dark --> Obtain courting card

Choosing who to visit

• I'll visit coffee girl Eliza
  
• I'll visit espresso girl Mel!
  
• (Note: Choosing who to visit first is interchangeable)

When visiting Eliza:

• Can I have some chocolate as well? (Eliza +0.5)
  
• You were cute

After visiting Eliza

• I'm tired. I should head back to Taka Coffee House
  
• I should go pay Mel a visit
  
• I should go and visit Oceane

At the end of Oceane's lesson

• Give dolphin card to Oceane
  
• No, I'm good

(Note: Giving dolphin card to Oceane will lock you out of Alice's Good Ending)

• Go and visit Espresso Girl Mel! (Mel +0.5)
  
• Go back to Taka Coffee House

• I'll tell her everything. Except...
  
• She's nice but can I really trust her? (Alice +0.5)

At night. NOTE: Save before making this choice. You will need to load here when accessing other routes

• Spend the rest of the week with Eliza
  
• Spend the rest of the week with Mel
  
• Spend the rest of the week with Oceane
  
• Give Up

By now, this should be your hearts count:

• Mel: 0.5
  
• Alice: 1.5
  
• Eliza: 1
  
• Oceane: 0

Alice / Mel Diversion

At this point, you will have entered Alice and Mel's diversion route. There are certain circumstances where you might still end up in Oceane's route, but if you have followed the guide exactly, that shouldn't happen.

Chapter 6

Heart Count:

• Mel: 0.5
  
• Alice: 1.5
  
• Eliza 1.0
  
• Oceane: 0

• Give courting card to Mel
  
• Shall we get started?

If you offer the courting card to Mel at this point, you will get a bad ending with some interesting dialogue at the end of Alice's route.

• Pull Mel Away
  
• Confront the man yourself (Mel +0.5)

• I'm fine
  
• I'm not that strong (Mel +0.5)

When Alice is speaking to Joseph

• Confront Joseph. Kick his ass.
  
• Joseph is right. Alice should accept her offer

• Hug Her (Alice +0.5)
  
• Touch Her Shoulder

• I'm sure Mel will be fine --> This will lead to the first bad ending
  
• I need to help Mel

Chapter 7

Heart Count:

• Mel: 1.5
  
• Alice: 2
  
• Eliza: 1
  
• Oceane: 0

This is the divergence point for Alice and Mel's route. Please save the game here.

• Go to the South Sea Hall
  
• Go to the Aksumite & Mayan Hall
  
• Go to the Cuppers' Hall

• Let's go to the South Sea Hall
  
• Let's stay here

Chapter 8

Heart Count:

• Mel: 1.5
  
• Alice: 2
  
• Eliza: 1
  
• Oceane: 0 (or 0.5. But it doesn't matter at this point)

At this point, it doesn't matter what you choose. You will enter Alice's route.

Alice's Route

[Periphery]

Oops. You're right. Fixed that, the choices were mixed up.

One more question here after reading the guide:

"I need to go back to the coffee house (Eliza +0.5)
I'll stay and help (Alice +0.5)"

This is kinda confusing...if you get what I mean.

[Kindling]

Indeed helpful. Thanks a lot for the guide
