In order to get a character specific route, you’ll need to choose the words that fit them the best. Each of the girls have specific interests that are important to keep in mind while doing the poem minigame. That is, except Monika, she likes everything!








Each word is attributed a value in points. When you’ll click on it, the girl who likes this word will jump. At the end of the 20 words, the girl with the most points will like your poem the most. The game story will then branch toward this character route.

There is an achievement for each character when you write them a perfect poem. Also, unlocking each character route will let you see the true ending of the game.
