Mizuchi - Ending Guide

A small guide to help you get all the endings.

How endings work

Mizuchi uses a point system to determine what ending you get. You can earn points for each heroine based on what choice you make for the first nine choices. Most choices will earn you 1 point for a heroine, though there are two choices that can earn 2 points.

The ending requirements are:

Ending	Achievement Unlocked	Description	Requirements
Sacrifice	Bittersweet Hope	Jinhai's Normal Ending	6+ Jinhai, <5 Ai
Family	Family of Misfits	Jinhai's True Ending	6+ Jinhai, =5 Ai
Stasis	Find Me and Love Me	Ai's Normal Ending	<5 Jinhai, 6+ Ai
Future	Future of Golden Blessings	Ai's True Ending	=5 Jinhai, 6+ Ai
Journey to the West	Journey to the West	Friendship Ending	<5 Jinhai, <5 Ai OR +6 Jinhai, +6 Ai

Choices and points

Only the first 9 choices offer heroine points.

Choice 1:

• I decide my own fate (+2 Ai)
  
• I have no choice but to do as you wish (+0 Ai)

Choice 2:

• I just want to go home (+0 Ai)
  
• I should talk to her about leaving (+1 Ai)

Choice 3:

• Explore the room (+1 Jinhai AND +1 Ai)
  
• See what's going on outside (+1 Jinhai AND +1 Ai)

Choice 4:

• Hold onto her hand (+2 Jinhai)
  
• Kindly refuse (+0 Jinhai)

Choice 5:

• With Jinhai (+1 Jinhai)
  
• With Ai (+1 Ai)

Choice 6:

• Learn to cook (+1 Jinhai)
  
• Relax (+1 Ai)

Choice 7:

• Talk (+1 Jinhai)
  
• Rest (+1 Ai)

Choice 8:

• Reading (+1 Jinhai)
  
• Swimming (+1 Ai)

Choice 9:

• Writing Lessons (+1 Jinhai)
  
• Swimming Lessons (+1 Ai)

Guessing the Name for Ai's True Ending

In order to get Ai's true ending, you will need to guess a name at some point. Here are some hints and the answer:

• Hint 1: Think about what Ai used to be based on her memories.
  
• Hint 2: Ai's name means "love." What is another word for love that is also related to what Ai used to be?
  
• Answer: Ai's true name is "Koi."

General Tips

• If you're gunning for a specific true ending, try to get exactly 5 points for the opposite heroine as soon as possible, then make choices favoring your chosen heroine.
  
• If you want to get the true endings, make sure you choose every +2 choice available; you'll need those to meet the point requirements.

Thank you for reading, and have fun with the game!

@Urst Yeah, I agree. Shizune is the deaf girl, right? She was fine as a character until you did the whole 'studying sign language in secret to impress her' thing, just to find out that she knew the whole time and didn't let you know. That pissed me off to no end, thinking how I would feel in that situation. Here I was, trying my best to study a language I had never even thought about using and had no idea how, just to impress the girl I loved, just to find out that she knew the whole time because her friend told her. Not only would that make all my effort to surprise her — to see the look on her face when she found out what I did and why I did it — completely for nothing, it would also make me feel like an utter idiot. Not to mention feeling betrayed.

This game had me stressing out about if I was on Jinhai's normal route or the true ending right up until the last thirty seconds. I got the true route but it kept me guessing! What an emotional rollercoaster!

@Avarenda - I've added a new section to the guide to help out anyone who is having trouble guessing the name for Ai's true ending. I hope it helps!

[Avarenda]

On "Future of Golden Blessings" what is the name im supposed to type?! I have tried Ai, Love, and Mizuchi but nothing works! please help.

@souryuu5 -- I've gotten too angry at enough TV shows killing off the likeable lesbian characters

I'm still sad how Willow's gf Tara got killed in Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- and that's been almost 20 years ago. One of the strongest moments in the series.

I feel you, Eleonore. I feel you.

I should have listened to the devs, i did the true ai ending and now i feel too attached to her to do anything else

[Urst]

I was honestly almost scared to do her rout after the game finished being made for fear of it until someone else spoiled it for me that she doesn't do that in at least the Neutral or Good Ends, and even then I almost stopped playing when I got the good end right before it was over because it reminded me of the original "good" end.
She was *really* well written, in my opinion.

Katawa Shoujo's not yuri (though there is an official text-only side story that is), and you'll never find it on steam. It's really well written throughout, though. Except Shizune. Shizune a shit.
I highly recommend it, and I'll post a link if you want.

@souryuu5 To bet honest, most Bad Ends don't bother me. I mentioned the beta rout for Hanako in Katawa Shoujo was because that one did fuck me up a lot. The actual rout ends from the finished game are completely different so I don't feel bad spoiling a 12-year-old, free, VN.
No matter what end you got for her, she still kills herself. While it did make sense for her character, especially in that early version of the game, it still fucks with me a bit whenever I think about it.

@Edalwulf

I totally get where you're coming from. That's one of the reasons why I think this game is so refreshing by having only happy endings and why I'm so glad the developers went that route.

You can never have enough stories about lesbian mythical beings that end happily.
