The Characters, Chapters, Images, and Keywords in the game will be updated accordingly as you progress through the story, so don’t worry about not having all the information at the start! Some of these may be unlocked by choosing certain choices (and possibly in different episodes), but it does not mean you may make it to the end of the game.

The Walkthrough contains the most important events that happen per episode (no worries, all spoiler-free) as well as the immediate effects of each choice on the true madness bar. I intentionally separated the Endings Guide from the Walkthrough so you can decide whether or not you want to play knowing how to get the different endings already. :))

When you get an Ending, please visit the Endings Guide to see how to continue the game. :))

Some of your questions might be in the FAQs, but if they are not, please leave a comment! I’ll check them out and respond as soon as I can.

Tips:

“- Different scenes will play out as a result of picking different choices in this chapter -“ means you may miss out on potentially major scenes, or scenes that provide more context, and not simply changes in dialogue as a result of choosing differently.

To avoid confusion, try to play continuously until you reach an Ending (whether an early one or a major one). Try to avoid redoing your choices just because you don’t like the outcome. The effects of some choices may only be felt in later Episodes, so it’s best to play on, no matter the result! Also, the way some Episodes play out will happen differently depending on your choices. This holds true especially for Episodes right before potential Endings.

Finally, for TALKS, it will not matter what choice is selected and in what order the choices are selected because you will have to go through all the options. There will also be no effects to the true madness bar during this time.

Note:

There are eight endings to the game: five (Endings.01 to .05) are “early” endings that stop you from finding out about the truth and three (Endings.06 to .08) are the ones at the end of the game. When you visit Chapters, these are the purple boxes with question marks. You cannot replay and Ending by clicking on it in the Chapters section in Gallery. You must go to the Episode right before the Ending and select the choice that will enable you to play the ending. This guide already contains the hints to get the different endings, and these hints are accessible in the Chapters section of the Gallery.

If you end up getting an early Ending, first check out how to bypass the Ending you got in this guide. Then, go back to the Episode/s where you need to make the choice/s in order to bypass the given Ending (using Game Start and not Chapters in Gallery). Finally, go back to the Episode right before the ending you got. You will see that the Episode has changed, and you can now proceed with the game! Your true madness bar will be reset to 50%, but as long as you can continue up to the end, you can still make changes to it! :))

TIP: If you make it to the final part of the game, you will get an Ending (either.06, .07, or, .08). If you wish to get the other Endings (Endings.06 to .08), I recommend replaying the Prologue, as it is the Episode where the least amount of energy is needed to make a choice. Just keep selecting the choice with the +5% or the -5% and make sure to finish the Prologue to ensure that the true madness bar can make changes according to your choice. Once you are done and have the desired percentage for the true madness bar, just go back to Episode.13-2 and enjoy the different Endings!

Ending.01: The Secret at Night (achieved after Episode.02-3)

The choices you will need to make to ensure you get this ending are “Go back to my room.” and “Wait for someone to come.” It doesn’t matter what you pick for the other choices, as they will affect the true madness bar on top and will mainly be important for Endings.06, .07, and .08.

To bypass this ending, you must pick either “Escape anyway” in Episode.02 or “Move from here” in Episode.02-2 or both.

Ending.02: Happy Sleep (achieved after Episode.05-2)

After bypassing Ending.01 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Have you hidden anything from me?” in Episode.04. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top. A seventh Keyword will be also be unlocked after getting this ending.

To bypass this ending, you must select either “Have you ever seen ghosts?” or “Do you know about ‘Komadori’?” in Episode.04.  

Ending.03: Replay (achieved after Episode.09)

After bypassing Ending.02 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Believe” in Episode.09. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top.

To bypass this ending, you must select “Cannot believe” in Episode.09.

Ending.04: Feather Cut (achieved after Episode.10–3)

After bypassing Ending.03 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Escape” in Episode.10-2. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top.

To bypass this ending, you must select “Persuade” in Episode.10-2.

Ending.05: Distorted Love (achieved after Episode.12)

After bypassing Ending.04 (and therefore continuing with the story), the only choice you will need to make is “Escape” in Episode.12. The other choices will not matter, so they are just there to regulate the true madness bar on top.

To bypass this ending, you must select “You don’t escape.” in Episode.12.

Ending.06: In the Dream (achieved after Episode.13-2)

Your true madness bar, after Episode.13-2, must lie at a number more than 15% and less than 85%.

Ending.07: Love Nest (achieved after Episode.13-2)

Your true madness bar, after Episode.13-2, must lie at a number more than 15% and less than 85%.

Ending.08: Funeral Procession - TRUE END (achieved after Episode.13-2)

Your true madness bar, after Episode.13-2, must lie at a number more than 15% and less than 85%.

Epilogue (achieved after unlocking all Endings)

F A Q s

Can you go back to a chapter you’ve already accomplished without reusing your energy? What if you go back to a previous chapter using Game Start? You can go back to a chapter you’ve already finished and without using your energy using Chapters in Gallery; however, you can only end up making the same choice. Going back to a previous chapter in Game Start will make you use up your energy again. However, this time, you have the option of picking another choice.

What will happen if you pick a different choice while revisiting a chapter you’ve already accomplished? Will it affect the true madness bar? Picking a different choice in a previous episode might potentially affect a subsequent chapter, aside from affecting the true madness bar. When you get an Ending, the true madness bar will be reset.

Does not getting a Keyword affect getting the other Keywords? Will getting all the Keywords or not affect the possible endings you can have? All the Keywords are related to each other, but they do not affect each other. Some Keywords will also be updated over the course of the game. Also, the game is based on choices and not Keywords, so Keywords will not affect the outcome of the game. In fact, you can attain Endings.06 to .08 without unlocking all Keywords as long as you do not select “Have you hidden something from me?” in Episode.04.

Will the characters start reacting differently to you if you become more True or more Crazy at one point? Depending on your choices, the only possible results are changes in dialogue, in the unfolding of events, and in getting possible endings. The overall backbone of the story will not change, so the characters won’t be reacting differently to you.
