White Day | Optimal Endings Route

A detailed walkthrough on getting every ending as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Important Info

The fastest route is as follows:
Ji-Min's endings > So-Young's endings > Seong-A/Ji-Hyeon's endings.

• Since there are no save locations on Hell, you will need to back up your auto-save file near the end of the game.
  
• Never annoy the girls by interacting with them too much. Doing this can and will mess up certain endings.
  
• You will need to earn every ending on every difficulty. I hope you really like this game.
  
• When going for So-Young's route, make sure to grab the School Coin behind the vending machine where you first meet the girls at the start of the game. Immediately use it to buy a Coffee and hold on to that until you enter the NB.
  
• When going for Seong-A and Ji-Hyeon's routes, be sure to grab one of the easily accessible Emergency Kits.
  
• Ji-Min's routes are technically sub categories of the White Chrysanthemum route(s), but you will only encounter her after completing one of those endings on Normal difficulty. However, we can make specific saves to set ourselves up for her in the future. Anything related to Ji-Min I will enclose in code

  like this, for example.

It's a guide I wrote based on my own testing and experience for what worked for me. I'm sure there's bound to be mistakes and better methods that I didn't find, or that I forgot to fill in. That's the funny thing about other people doing things that aren't yourself. I even have a comment on the parent guide saying there's likely mistakes that I can correct if they're pointed out.

So later, when I have free time, I'll make the updates.

[Zhnigo]

Imagine calling your guide "Optimal route" and it not actually being optimal lemao. With proper dialogue choices it's possible to save before grabbing the wood token and still have all routes available, meaning you only need to beat MB1 once

Also it gave me a chuckle how the endings in your index spell WIHTEDAJMY

[Zhnigo]

I followed the path for ending W and got ending H instead. Reading up on it in other sources, it seems to be because you neglected to mention that you can't talk to so-young when walking with her, can't make her wait or can't push her, which I inadvertently did all three of. I think it would be better for newer players if you were to add this to the guide. Thanks!

[Zhnigo]

Gotcha, thanks!

[Stef]

- When I say sub-route, I mean a different variation of the route you're on. Ivy and Hyacinth are sub-routes for White Chrysanthemum, as they require the majority of that endings set up in order to unlock. Ebony and Dandelion would be sub-routes of Tuberose.

- Jasmine is its own route, technically, but requires the initial set-up from White Chrysanthemum in order to start, assuming you've finished one of the White Chrysanthemum routes on Normal. If you haven't done that, Ji-Min won't appear.

- You can set up saves in specific spots, which I clearly label in the guide, in order to reduce the amount of backtracking and scenes you need to replay in order to earn all of the endings. Otherwise, you're looking at roughly 40+ full runs in order to earn them all.


Hopefully that cleared some things up! Sorry about the confusion, getting all of this game's information into writing isn't the easiest thing, as there's a lot of various choices and interactions that trigger others.

[Zhnigo]

I re-read the paragraph about Ji-Min several times and I still have no idea what you're trying to convey. Sub-route? Set up for the future? Can you be more clear?

[BalTor]

If you have save files, then can i get one?

As I understand it, to get good finals, you have to be nice to girls at all times. But some answers are not so obvious. Like in the first choice, the answer is no, but it seems to have an impact. Similarly, in the case of Ji-min on the stairs, the last choice of answers in both options sounds rude. Here, the developers should have done something like "You are respected/you are despised". I was polite to the girls all the time and tried to get to the Jasmin final. But somewhere along the way, I made a mistake and went to Marguerite.
